Published on 06/09/03 at 15:00I got this 60 watt combo amp from www.samedaymusic.com. I paid about $160 for the amp and shipping.
The amp itself is very solid. Excellent construction and design, I'd say. No cracking with any of the knobs. The amp has wonderful features. The eq works wonderfully, and the shape filter is worth the money alone; you can dial in almost any sound you want. The unit sounds great . . . . until you turn the master volume past about 2.
I got this combo amp about a week ago and the day after it came out of the box, it developed a horrible rattle. As long as you didn't turn the master volume past about 1 1/2, it was fine, but who wants to buy an amp like this just to leave the volume as low as possible.
Great construction. Other than the major problems with the speaker, the unit is wonderful.
If you're considering buying this product, please make sure that you do your research first. After buying it and discovering the rattle, I went to several bass guitar forums and searched their posts to find if others had this problem, and a LOT of them had the same thing, always returning it. I've never read anything about the 120 amp model, BX1200, having any rattle problems, so I'd suggest saving up about $100 more and buying that one; that's what I'm doing today.
