Black, 15 watt practice amp.

I bought it with my first bass. I think it was $100 at the time, but I'm not sure, probably cheaper, you can definitely get one cheaper now.

It is a great little practice amp, and a great amp for beginners who are getting started with there first electric bass. If you are just playing with yourself or with some other either quite acoustic instruments or lower volume electric instruments, you will be fine.

It's not very powerful, but then again its not supposed to be. Back when I first started playing I brought this amp to a drummers house to try and jam with some guys, and I could not hear anything over the guitars and especially the acoustic drums. If...…

If you want to play with a band you will need a more powerful amp. You will defiantly need something more powerful to play for a crowd of more then a few people.

Built to last, its a great little amp and does its job well. You should not have any problems with the speaker blowing out even at its loudest volumes.

For the money and for a beginner or for practice, its a great amp! I recommend it.

got it and a 15 ft cable from my friend John for $30. (you probably won't be able to find one for so cheap)

It is a totaly awesome first amp to own. When you are practicing on your own, it can get as loud as you need it to. Has a great tone to it when adjusted correctly. Good price to, even if you have to buy it new.

Not very loud when you practice with the band. I have been using this amp to practice with the band and it is always drowned out by the guitar and drums. When you get it loud enough to hear, the sound quality gets worse.

It's great. I've unfortunatley dropped it on it's side plenty of times and it doesn't seem to phase it at all. Just don't drop it out of a 10 story...…

Awesome 1st amp, but when you need more than personal practice it becomes obsolete.

Bought it at Sound Control Glasgow, Scotland for £89 (got tuner with it for £11)

Great versitility with a PJ bass with it in the live tone position and both P/U's working at max volume. You can also select your midrange frequencies!

Vibrates everything arround you like in an earthquake when at max gain on the Amp. Also has a bad sound with bad cabels and connectors!

Built like a tank that has had morters fired at it. dropping / bumping it will cause NO harm at all.

Built well, great versitility, good tonal control, and wach the gain!!!

I got it at Heartland Guitars for $110

It's a good beginner amp. It was my first amp. It's built like a tank, I made the mistake of dropping it down stairs and it was fine.
It's pretty loud for only 15 watts.

The only problem I've had with it is when you turn the high mid and high knobs yu get some humming.

Like I said, it's built like a tank.

It's a good beginer amp
