Value For Money : Poor
Hybrid combo amp 350W into 4 Ohms, cake Celestion 15 ", XLR line out, lamp warm-12AX7, power amplifier class D, 27.8 kg (after the poop in the morning). Made in Mexico.

For the panel: two instrument inputs (including one-6dB), gain, bass, middle, treble, volume and two switches to boost bass or treble (deep & bright). Simple and effective.

Frankly, 7ender was hard with this combo, it looks like a vintage amp for 60 years! Covered with beige tweed varnish, volume buttons "chicken head", chrome plate parameters, HP brown canvas of great beauty, and the small wheels efficient light tensioning ruby ​​way, frankly it's class. Only flaw in my opinion: there is a plastic handle (solid) to bring it, I liked the side handles ...

UTILIZATION

The receiver could not be more functional and easy to use: a bass, a jack and go! It really is the amp that can best illustrate the concept of "plug and play". In less than 10 seconds, we found its sound.

SOUNDS

Once connected, no doubt, has the sound 7ender in all its glory. It's a hybrid amp with a 12AX7 in the lamp glow, but it is widely believe that it is an all-tube amp.

Sound level, if you have a passion for the six-string bass and jazz-rock, forget this amp right now, you do not match at all. The sound is warm, round, clear and thanks to the lamp glow. I chose the model with a 15 'car, playing in a trio and are often granted in Eb, I need a definition in the bass.

It really is the ideal amp for rock and blues (it's good, that's what I play). This amp does not have to be ashamed to be called the Bassman. Regarding power, 350W are present, no worries for group play, not to exceed twelve o'clock gain and volume, is already shaking the walls.

I play on big stages with a stack Carvin 300W 4 * 10 1 * 18 and for concerts in places more complicated to access, I had a combo like this. I have a US JB Deluxe 06 ', a US PB Elite 83', a Höfner 500/1M 70 'and Rick-o-Steel manufactured by Loïc Le Pape.

OVERALL OPINION

I found this amp at a demo for the CS 7ender I played it and I fell in love, that's exactly what I was looking combo as it will be perfect for dates of the smaller stages, but also for acoustic shows.

Well it's not really a "small" combo, but frankly, although I feel that I will suffer for lugging around, I do not regret my purchase. I think this amp ideal for those who love the lights but can not lug around a huge head and 8 * 10 that goes with ...

Well, I must admit that I'm going to add my SVT-DI to be sure ...

I bought a B300-115 @ mpeg, I took it out of the box, I tried it, back into the box and immediately resold to acquire the Bassman! Nothing to do, no potato, finishes that are poor, in short, the cheap ...

Honestly, the high price is reflected in hardware, finishes are impeccable, we feel that the production made in Mexico is light years away in the nearly widespread Asian production. Clearly, the heavy, powerful, sexy, 7ender the way we like it.
