Everything has already said or written.

UTILIZATION

Configuration a breeze.
He lacks the foot switch, the input of an mp3 and headphone jack.
Roll on Big Bang seen on the NAMM 2012.
For my part between the head of LMIII without problem in my gig bag.
The DI output (with post / pre and ground lift) is very effective in the studio in PA.

SOUNDS

I play blues-rock and fusion.
The advice I would give is to put everything at noon.
The versatile sound obtained is accurate even with instruments of average quality (bass and guitars).
I use it on a Markbass Standard 104hrs and sometimes I Assistant (500w at that time) or substitutes a Warwick 411 Pro.
I push the tweeter back!
The volume never exceeded 5 (outdoors).
Otherwise it is constantly at 9am for rehearsals or cafes.
Now you can have fun with the preamp:
The sound "Pasto" is obtained with two filters at 9am, we push the low mids a bit and voila.
I play with a Fender Jazz Bass Fretless (passive) and with a Sadowsky (mapple neck) in liabilities as assets.
The sound "Marcus" is obtained with the VLE and VPF off at maximum and the medium at 11am.
It's with a Yamaha TRB 5 and P2 piezzos open is close to a guitar with a gloss-art (stereo).
One could say that it is comparable to an Eden without the breath, but not so hot!
For vintage sounds, I'm not an expert nor big fan of "distortion" on the bass.
So this amp does not match what we can get with Ampeg, Hartke Sunn ...

OVERALL OPINION

I played with for almost 2 years.
It is a treat for everyone.
Personally I find the power "intolerable" because of the dynamic mind-blowing!

With experience, you do again this choice?

Not only I would do, but I expect the Big Bang.
