Ibanez Bass amplification

Have been playing bass about 15 years in weekend gig classic rock bands. Started out with a black face Fender bassman & retired it because it almost got ripped off a few times while I was on break. Got a Yamaha solid state 100 watt that sounded better than the bassman, but it's a very bulky & heavy amp. So I got a Ibanez SW 35. Got it used for $100 on Ebay. I have gotten other Ibanez stuff over the years & it sounded great & never broke. The SW 35 is only 35 loud watts, but a managable size and weight. I'm getting an other SW 35 so 70 watts & 2 10's will be fine for me. It's easy to move,well made, Sounds great. 35 watts seems under rated. Coaxial 10" speaker is rated for 100 watts peak. & with a built in limiter just try to blow the speaker. 4 band Eq really works. I wish the AC powercord was attached. I have forgotten it. From what I can see it is well built, does not rattle or buzz. I like it so much I will be buying another one . Most of my gigs are either small clubs or private parties so 2 of these will be loud enough. They will fit in my car easy, aren't too heavy. And if they're like my other Ibanez products, will past the test of time well. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I purchased this product from musicians friend 3 years ago when i first started out.I paid $75 for it plus shipping. I really like the fact that for 75 dollars i can have an amp thats good enough for bass practice and plying woth a guitar. I also like the versatillaty of the amp. i have been able to use it as a back up for 2 years at small gigs. for 75 bucjs its a great deal. the thing that bugs me the most about this amp is that it has terrible sound if you turn the volume ablove 5 or 6. so if you are just looking for an amp to use in your bedroom its ok but otherwise it doesnt work well. but for $75 what do u expect?? the construction of this amp is great! i have dropped it numerous times and it has never broke. the corner guards are really nice even the amp is really light. it has never cracked and has a few minor scratches but nothing big. it has good quality overall i believe that if you are a starter this amp isnt bad at all. plus you dont have to pay anything outragous! 8) This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I bought this amp at daddy's junky music in Nashua, N.H.i bought it be cause it sseemed like a good combo to buy, plus it was used and only $150. this amp is a great buy. I like the tone it gives and how loud it can get. It can get extremly loud with the volume and gin up all the way, but it has a 10dB gain that makes it even louder.its perfect for me to use while playing with my band. The unit is great but it has a sound limiter, so you have to be carfull on how loud you play it, but it doesnt really matter. Good quality, kind of heavy for how small it is,55 pounds. Its about two feet tall, 2ft. wide and 2 ft deep.It can lean back, If biying it new, its only $220 . Great buy, if looking for combo amp, this is the one for you?

I payed 190 $ canadian it meens 127 $ us. Bought it at planetmusik in laval city. It was my first bass ever. Had a great service. I wanted some power to play whit my friends and 15 watts was the minimun i needed but i bought a 20 watts. There is the bass input, the headphones output and also a disk player input so i can put the tune i play while playing. The ajustements are : volume, bass, middle, treble, presence. Sure its not a stage amp but is even too loud for wath i need so its not a default. Again , its ibanez so well made: they are not knowned for their amps but its a great buy. If you start, you will like to have a 10 watts but you will soon need more power. Buy at least 15 watts but 20 watts ibanez is the best.
