MGR/carson « Crate BX-15 »
Published on 04/01/03 at 14:00I bought this at a Guitar Center, I was going to get the Squire bass pak, but they were out so I got a Squire Bass(UH) and this baby. i PAID AROUND $100.
I like that this bass amp is cheap, and its from Crate, also it has some controls. The cabinet is sealed, wich some people like and some people dont. The tone is not to much varied, but its better than some. It plays pretty loud, yet I would not even reccomend playing it with a group, I tried to play with a guitarist who had the guitar crate practice amp, same watts, and he was blowing me out of the water.
NOt loud enough- great for practice, but cant keep up because of its 8" speaker and small watts. I am now having to look for a bigger amp to play in a full band( brass, sax) situation. I am now playing on my guitarists Blues Deluxe 410 Fender amp.
Also, the cabinet is sealed, so you cant put your cord and stuff in the back if you are going to a small pl;ace to play or something. Not a big deal, but it dosent fit in my case.
Nice constuction, not too worried about it breaking, although I havent kicked it off a stage. Its really just sitting under my keyboard amp in a little nook. Nice spot too.
So, in conclusion, this amp is great for a kid dtarting out, or for someone that needs a practice amp. But I dont reccomend it for someone who is starting unless you are "financially sound" enough to buy another if the time comes, or if you are sure that you wont be playing with someone else for a few years or whatever. Great amp, just not good for loud bass.
