UTILIZATION

No manual to buy but use could not be more simple.

SOUNDS

The sound is totally lacking in personality.
I often find it too "deaf" even potardant a good time, it's hard to get out of this aspect not very pleasant.

OVERALL OPINION

It has been over 10 years since I used to play at home (alone or accompanied by an electric guitar).
I happened to use group (electric guitar + drums + vocals) and by boosting a little, he did well despite its 20 watts.
But its main use is for work at home, it is highly enough.
It is solid, compact and light so very convenient to carry. I never had a problem with.
Bought for 145 euros nine at the time, it's a bit expensive for the sound reproduction ... Prefer buying secondhand.

20W transistor amp
An entry Instru.
A headphone jack
A knob gain / volume
3 "" "" "" Low / Mid / High

UTILIZATION

Super simple setup, I bought it used there was no manual (but is it useful? ...
His side for my part I always found him sound a little "glitz and cold" but hey it's an eight-inch HP, then we can ask him as much as a 15 Inch? ... I would has added a small preamp "Aguilar DB 927), which really enhances the sound and gives it some roundness.

SOUNDS

The sound can be obtained is not the one preferred .. but as I said above I can fix it and then this is an amp work ... and it is not expected to make rehearsals and even fewer make the scene (this is not his calling ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few hours
I had the opportunity to try other small amp that category in other brands and I do not really have more packed his side ...
Pros: size, the correct weight.
The -: the sound is always a bit hollow
Rated Quality / price I bought it secondhand € 50 then what more and then he did the job ...
If one day I pass a same power amp with a bass sound that makes correct I jump on the case!

$0.0 US dollars. My brother has a p/t job in a pawn shop, and has access to lots of musical equipment. So one day, unsolicited, the Micro Bass simply arrived from UPS!
I received this amp in 2002.

It is so TOUGH, that little amp. It reminds me of a tank in way. And you definately get a "bang for your buck" with that 20 watts of RMS power! Small, easy to move around, looks great on the amp stand I purchased from the Carvin store in Santa Ana,Ca.

I really don't care for it as a "bass amp" per se. So I pulled the original 8" speaker, replacing it with a 200 watt full-range, because I was not getting enough bottom end from the factory 8" Peavey.
Now its being used as an accustic guitar amp.
Plus I did't like the original dark grey tolex, so I took it all apart and repainted it semi-gloss black. (much better appearance now).

What a amp! SOLID construction, and quite heavy for it's size. Can you say "loud?" Perfect for small venues and for church, where it is now a wanted addition in an electric "Praise Band". We love it, and use it all the time.

Folks: Peavey does NOT fool around. Their products are reliable, well-built and best of all..affordable and quite easy to find.

I LOVE American-made products! Go USA!

I needed a small amp to play in a small church. The church is a small one room, so a large amp made no sense. I found this amp at a local music store(Hermes). My mom bought it for me being that it was about seven years ago. I'm 22 right now. I can't recall how much I spend(it was probably more than I should have seeing as how Hermes try to get as much money out you as possible.

I like everything about the Microbass. It sounds great. The EQ is simple but usable. The sounds are just what you expect from a Bass amp. Even though it's only 20 Watts, it's a very loud 20 watts.

The only thing I don't like about the Microbass is that it's very small that you forget its there. I can't tell you how many times I have smashed my foot into it. I even broken a toe on it.

Well the fact that I've broken a toe on it shows that it's solidly built(to the delight of my Doctor). I've used indoors and outdoors(with a PA). The amp is as tough as they come. I have had some 7 years, and it's never failed me once.

This is the perfect practice amp and performance amp(when you have a PA or for small performances). If buy this amp you can pass it down to your children, and I am not kidding it's that good.

I wanted to get my father back into his passion. I bought this amp from my cousin for $40, a few years ago. Now i use it cuz I'm learning to play.

It fits in my locker at work. It has wall shakin sound for a little 20watt rms. I plenty of low and lots of tone. Reliable and can take a beating.

i tighted the 2 locknuts on the front. One for the input and one for the phone/out. The one for the phone out broke with the slightest turn. It still works though.

it has metal rounded corners. and the outer casing is hard but still soft enough to reflect the accidental blow.

I love this amp. It is nearly the perfect amp for the beginner or for a practice amp for the experienced. This amp will not ever let you down as long as you use it for what it was designed for. Practice/beginners.

I bought this unit in some music shop and i got it for aruond $180. It is a 20 watt amp. It was my first, and to the day only, amp, and it was all that I looked for in a practice amp.

Nice clear sound, especially when I played it indoors. It gave my slap bass playing a great sound. It's also got a nice small compact build which is solid and stable and doesn't tip over easily.

The cord is a bit hard to wrap around in the hooks provided in the back of the amp.

Nice solid build with a very stong handle at the top. It is easy to move around, store and place just about anywhere.

This was a great first amp for a beginning bassist such as myself. It was great for just low volume practice by myself at home or for jamming with my homies in garages or backyards.

I couldnt lug my combo amp up three flights of stairs any more so of I went in search of a practice amp.At my local music store I found the peavey micro bass. Just the sound of the unit was enough to make me buy it on sight.Nice and loud with no distortion. Just what I needed.At $230.00aus the price was reasonable too.

The unit is small without being minute. The construction is solid and stable.Controls are very simple with three channel graphics.It is just about plug and play.20 watts of powers ample for use in confined spaces, although I havent used it in large room yet.It is of the quality that I have come to expect from Peavey. The power cord can be wrapped away.

I have noticed that the rubber feet on the cabinet can leave black marks on surfaces.

The cabinet is about 12 inches square and about 9 inches deep. Very solidly built, covered in black vinyl with a carry handle on top. Contols are on the front of the amp, volume, three stage graphics, line in and headfone jack, power switch.

A great unit, everthing you would expect from Peavey. This unit does exactly what it is designed to do, that is be a very fine practice amp which can still annoy the neighbours when you want. I like it!

small transistor amp 15 watts I think.
Gain (no volume)
headphone jack
medium severe acute

It can play quietly in an apartment, without annoy the neighbors. on the other hand should not go in quest of her with, it's not made for.
Like properly so bad if not abused bass (ca useless when playing alone).

UTILIZATION

hyper, serves as the gain volume, and the equalizer equalizes ... that's all.

sound quality is correct saw use.

SOUNDS

The sound is quite clear, although it retransmits the different instruments.
It does not saturate too quickly when you turn it up but is it really useful?

OVERALL OPINION

the +:
- Price
- Space

The -:
anything, as long as you ask any more than what it is: an amp apart to work.

I would do this choice.

A small 20W amplifier transistors to work at home. Between a, a headphone jack, volume and 3 band equalizer, nothing more. In practice, this type of use is more than enough.

UTILIZATION

One branch, turn the knobs a little to see, you play a note, we lower the volume before the building collapse, we play another note, it's all good.

SOUNDS

This is an amp work without much personality, but with a more than adequate. The so serious a 5-string bass is well made, despite the small size of the speaker. In addition, the 20W are widely announced the appointment, what is fcher with neighbors.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this amp for 2 months from my old T-Power (yes, yes, has any) is the day and night. Again, it's just a tool for the job of the instrument, but it fulfills what rle trs. You just have to be careful not to turn up the volume too.

This amp is 20W transistor, despite its low cost, robust trs.
At c peavey 20W 19W inches by consequant, sound dlivr by this little amp is a monster compared these direct concurents!
2 inputs:
-1 For the low
-1 For headphones
4 pots
-Volume
Acute-
-Middle
Subwoofer
and the ignition is on the cot of HP (as opposed to 100W)
Note, a possibility of extension at the rear.
For transport, a grip is located on the top of the amp and a reel for the outlet is located on the back.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is an infantile simplicity (normal, since it is an amp to work his game, often beginners) and consequant, you can easily find your sound.
To help you, to the case where you would be really dull, the manual will help you find your way with some rglage pr-conus:
Setting-Rock (the Rock)
Slap-Setting (for the funk, mostly)
-Blues/country Setting (for blues and country)

SOUNDS

Let's be clear, this amp is an amp WORK, not to play with his band! (20w is not enough for one battery)
trs but versatile, so you can learn about this little amp funk riffs to the red hot, jazz halucinants of Jaco Pastorius, and even rhythm are John Miyung metal (Dream Theater)
this amp supports all! (4,5,6,7,8,10,12 strings!)
but I find his parfection as well in the round that you will get easily by putting your treble on 4, 6 on your middle and your serious of 5
I assure you that even if I did wrong with a Hartke 100W (for the group), a home remains the best with my ibanez EDB600

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 years now and it is with him that I apris everything (even the Jaco Pastorius)
his sound is a round!! captivating
hlas the equalization is commonplace (low, mid and high)
The ratio quality price is more than satisfactory, so much so that when branch was quickly felt like a scam reseller (150 E bombinette for this is given!) But will become smaller never great shame!!
Looking back I will choose exactly the same! is the best way to become good parents without crisis!

Small study 20w amp 8 transistor.HP pouces.Une between a headphone jack, 3-band EQ and a gain of. One may regret a volume control, but the bass and gain suffisent.Suffisant to start, especially since it would seem to be dot compressor automatically.

UTILIZATION

We can not be so much easier by playing without knobs ampli.Les facs are not easily obtained and simulated sound is approaching that is to be (a 20w amp is a transistor 150euros approximately).

SOUNDS

I'm just playing it a few hours in fact, silent and sound really corect, you can play everything with this little combo, passes without a problem. In fact I came to a drummer friend told me he had a bf amp at home, and that n'tait not bother to bring mine. When I arrived and he showed me this mic combo, I wonder if susi c'tait a joke and if I rellemene play with this little thing cot of a battery pearl (and a drummer rather nag). Not at all, so I was playing with this nano-amp, and although I'm really impressed with t he potato a. We almost heard me well! Yes, yes I assure you, I got along with a 20w amp!

OVERALL OPINION

I have therefore used only a few hours but I rouve SIMPATIE trs, it is simple, robust, trs not expensive I think (it should turn into allentours of 150euros in store), so an excellent qualitprix report. In short if you're new and you do not acqurir through an amplifier more powerful than the take, I think it really ideal for beginners.

A transistor, 20Watt, conection basic input, output, lol, if a another saortie back for a speaker

Not very accurate adjustable bass, mid, high

UTILIZATION

Congigue could not be more simple ......

Sound good? yes, but with a pedal!

Manual we learn nothing!

But hey, he was asked not to be complicated: D

SOUNDS

Suitable for all style, but hey, repeating, you either play acoustic without

incubator, or ac the bottom boomer exploding lol, this is a 20Watt!

Whatever the bass, the sound remains the same (apart if we have a Jazz Bass delux active lol)

OVERALL OPINION

Used for a year, although he still held the shock repetitions lol, but it's a 20

Watt pitit a boomer! However, there is almost a proper ds room! but if

you can buy a pedal with just an equalizer, it sounds very well

However a very good value for money, it is worth its price is very good in its range

Amp transistors with compression intgre
HP 20W 8 "4 Ohms
Between a single, headphone and speaker output into 4 Ohms
Rglages: Gain, Bass, Mdium, Agu
Rponse frquence in 80 Hz 10 kHz (give manufacturer)
Weight: 9 kg
Made in China

UTILIZATION

Trs easy to use

SOUNDS

Trs good sound, the rglage mdium seems more effective than the bass and treble,
but in the end you can easily find all kinds of sounds!
We pass aisment sound "all round" serious and removed the ropes that border,
(In this case the change of micro trs is not audible) sound that is more mdium
clearly indicates the diffrence between each microphone. No pumping effect of compression.

By using headphones, it's a rgal and power is ample.

I made a rption with a drummer and a good slap guitar plugs into a 100w
being used around power and this little combo is doing a lot despite the 20W, it
remains just as it saturates and even a little, but we heard something ... nanmoins

I use a 5 string and spring trs If good is to see what thundering
can cash this micro amp!

May be missing out a recording to enjoy the quality of this amp
recording!

OVERALL OPINION

Nice little amp beginners or training that enables nanmoins of dpanner in rptant
with a group, trs beautiful sound live or through headphones, the rglages can find
the sound you are looking quickly, in short I regret this purchase!
A Premire view it no longer appears on the official website of the brand, too bad ...

See below

UTILIZATION

Trs simple to use (you can not get any easier). Reduces the sound possibilities succinct number of knobs ... You have to play with that bass. I do not have the manual, so can not comment ...

SOUNDS

The sound is ... correct. Not really got my personality, but it is reliable and more than enough to work alone or even for a few pieces enchainer musicos with others (who do not play too loud!) I still use it with a Squier MB-4. Sometimes with a Takamine electro bass, but the c because I no choice. (I have yet to amp electro). an important dtail: pass three quarters of the knob "gain", saturation sets in: you can even do without distortion pedals for those who use!

OVERALL OPINION

made four years I have, I do not use more often trs trs, but it remains the position qd Fidler I need it. No electrical or dtrioration mcanique dplorer. It was my first amp ... but I do fs his first bass player. Occase 100, the ratio quality price is right even INTERESTED in nine. advise beginners!

I not add

UTILIZATION

Super simple setup:
Only 3 knobs

SOUNDS

I was playing (I have been stuck with a bass.
Obviously you do not sound close to the sound but it is still enjoyable and can even have serious fleshy

OVERALL OPINION

I have used for 10 years as rptition amp, still in the car, ready to fulfill its own motion or beef. I even sometimes used in concert, troubleshooting, and he was honorably released (must be said that in jazz, the drummer can be subtle or, better, absent).
Trs reliable, has never lch.
Too bad there's no line out. Be careful to place it on supports stable if risk of noise.
Recommend a purchase.
