Best value:
Excellent
Bought used with HA3500 head of the brand to play with a group (350 € all in 2013). At home I have an old Peavey TKO110.
SOUNDS
I have no experience with another firm, so take this review for what it's worth.
At first I was a little disappointed, found the cold and dry sound, highlighting any errors play (finger noise, fret ...) It was also in a rehearsal room tiled and bare walls. Now I have a room furnished and carpeted, it changes everything. And comes with settings bass, get a round fedora still sound.
What motivates this view, it is more than playing in a group, I was ready to sell it when I brought it home and plugged into my guitar amp, a Peavey Bandit 110 modest. I had seen a video on Youtube describing the experience: the amp suddenly becomes quite different, the sound takes a lot of depth, presence and transparency at a time. It also goes very well on acoustic guitar amp. Suddenly it I decided to keep it all.
And then also connected to my little Laney RB2 (30w I think, bought € 80 ...), this is a metamorphosis! Obtained with a combo four sub sounds great! The amp gives full power without deterioration of sound, one earns a lot in depth. 3500 head suddenly at home does not have much interest because the power is not used and the fan is noisy.
OVERALL OPINION
So here is the cheap stuff, it's the job for bass if you are not too demanding, can be heard as a group, the sound is decent (for me) if you take the time to look a little (a little less treble, more bass). The quality of the bass there a lot too.
This is not pro material, it certainly does not sound like the Ampeg, Markbass or Agilar, or even more high-end models in Hartke.
But if we accept that it is modest hardware already cheap in new and easy to find occasion, you can with it to be heard without ridicule in a small group, but also radically transform a small combo at four under, that it either guitar or bass. This is an option that I have encountered so far not much on the net you buy more often this type of material for a separate head, but in my opinion not a bad use of cab.
In the end I do not regret, "bang for the buck" in the proper sense.
