"This one is for you ! Look no further !"
Feature:
The switch to kick the gain is an excellent addition. You can play active and passive models by using the switch... or not. Will work well, however, when using a passive bass, the gain needs to be kicked up, so the switch comes into play.
The EQ is great. I wasn't expecting a "presence" control, but I'm pleased it has one.
It was interesting to know it has an AUX input where you can plug any type of high impedance device... CD players, FM stereos, iPods and the like... used only once though... don't really need it.
Interesting enough, the conection to the speaker goes through a cable on the back so you can actually use it to drive a different cabinet.
I have not used the send/return jacks though... I like a clean bass sound.
Quality:
Excellent. Have had it for 2 years and it performs top class every time.
An elephant could step on the cabinet and it wouldn't break :-)
Panel is nice, controls act smoothly, no scratching pots, etc.
Value:
The price is good, but for this money I wouldn't mind have some 15 extra watts.
Desirability:
The blue ligh looks cool, but no extra benefit.. come on, it only needs to tell when the amp is on, so any indicator would do.
Tilting back is an excellent feature. Definitely is a statement, however, cannot place anything on top of it... hey I need a place to put the beer on !
Sound:
Rather good sound quality and power for its size, however, (it might be my bass) sometimes I'm under the impression I want a more cleaner sound, but then, just adjusting the bass controls get me there, so, it does what is supposed to do.
Ease of Use:
What can I say ? You start playing with it right out-of-the-box. There is nothing to fuss about that you wouldn't know.
Support:
Support: haven't had the need to call... what for ?
Like with any electonics, if it lasts after 2 to 3 months, then it's likely that will last forever :-)
Overall:
I expect it to last forever, however I'm in need of some extra power and will start looking for something more biffed up pretty soon.
This little box could benefit from some extra 15 watts.
Even though, it's excellent for those rehearsals at the church, but a bit cumbersome to carry aroung, so I use a luggage cart to haul it around: a solution that's been working very good.
It's great for small gigs at small places, of course, but once you go to somewhere more spatious, you will need more power.. specially you are gigging rock music.
No complaints on the jazz section ! It lives to it !
