Made a switch from playing the guitar to the bass and needed a practise amp to get started.Got it from Guitar World in Sydney and paid 300 Aus $.

For a low end amp it has a lot of tonal variety , right from being able to get a fat round tone to a funky bright tone its all possible. It also has a line out to send the feed straight to a PA saving the need for mic'ing the amp.

The lows arent that great. The compression does nothing more than clip and distort.

Its really tough and quite heavy for a 30W amp. Ive dropped it , banged it , cranked it and what not and still in perfect condition.

Ive had this amp for 10 months and have played about 6 gigs for approx 30 to 50 people with it and my friends in the crowd said they could hear me fine also during recording the jams even without a mixer the bass is heard distinctly. My neighbours complain even when i jam on the volume just at around 4 , although that would be mostly because of my lousy playing but its still a nice loud amp. Overall a great beginner/practise amp.
