"More Bass Bang for the Buck!!!"

Feature:
The supplied power cord is a little short, especially if you stack a couple cabs and put the amp head on top! I love the included effects pedal! I use the shape pedal any time I play above the 12th fret for any length of time, like in "Hotel California". I have heard people Bash the Ultra Bass pedal sound, but it is included as an extra option and I use mine in my Bass Solo and even wrote a song using it in the prelude and ending, just don't play too fast or try cords, it is not intended for that just like any other Octave adding effect!

Quality:
The fit and finish on these amps is perfect. The amp has done everything I could ask for and more! I rarely play above half volume since Bass is going thru my Behringer PMP 5000 powered mixer too! I did add 2 rubber feet on the side opposite the handle, but that only cost me a buck and a minute so big deal!

Value:
This Bass Amp should get a "12" for value! Nothing else on the market can touch it! Usually you pay a "buck a watt". When I get more money I am going to double up by buying another STACK, just so I can make my pant legs flap in the breeze!

Desirability:
I LOVE the black on gold, and I LOVE the Old Style Knobs. My friend bragged about his and let me play it before I bought so I really liked it after I found out how inexpensive it really was!

Sound:
The sound of this amp is warm and bright, I kill alot of the treble available and boost the bass with the deep button and use the shape footswitch when I go above the 12th fret for any length ot time, like in"Hotel California".I'm pretty picky, I owned a G&K 700RB before this rig!

Ease of Use:
This amp has alot of features, so it takes a little more time to get your sound dialed in. I use a Boss ME50B Bass effects unit thru the effects loop and with my "stock" sound on the amp all of my effected sounds are great, and I use the Ultra Bass on intros the Shape to add tone and with an add on pedal you can turn the horn on or off on your Behringer cabinets for extra treble to cut through the mix. This is especially handy if you have two guitar players hogging up all the midrange. Hit the horn on and you can hear yourself alot better.

Support:
I haven'y had to use support, but I am told they will REPLACE not fix your unit within 1 year of purchase so that alone gives it a 10! Why wait for repairs when you can get a new one right away. Their website is GREAT, you have to check it out just to see what else they make, and it's ALOT! Behringer.com

Overall:
Overall this amp is a steal! The Quality si there. The Sound is there. The volume is there,just run 2 cabs for a 4 ohm load.It has "extra" features like the Ultra Bass and Shape and even includes the footswitch. Drive Behringer Bass Cabs with horns and pick up a cheap nonmomentary footswitch and you can turn the horn on and off at will. That's alot of extra's that most Bass player's DON'T HAVE!

"most power for the money."

Feature:
came with a cord and pedal. the instruction manual was well informing.

Quality:
only had one problem with a wire getting a bad connection on the on/off switch, but was probably my bad due to being very rough on it. it get's thrown around quit a bit.

Value:
it was well worth the money, and is quite powerful. wouldn't use it with behringer cabs or aluminum speakers.

Desirability:
the gauge is cool. that's about it.

Sound:
could use a compressor, but the shape and deep buttons come in handy. for the price it's not bad. don't use on an 8x10. perfect for 1x15 or 4x10. had it hooked up to a 15" 4ohm black widow and it sounded awesome but later blew the speaker.(it was 15 years old) takes awhile to find the groove spot on it.

Ease of Use:
about as easy as it gets. just a shape, ultrabass, and 5 band eq

Support:
can't say, never needed it

Overall:
i wouldn't sell it. nice back up amp. but i wouldn't replace it either.
