About This Product!
Description
Well built, great looking 120-watt bass combos with incredible tone and explosive bass power that comes pounding out. In addition to the front-loaded Eminence Valtec 12 in. bass driver that you can see, there is an identical Valtec 12 in. bass driver horn-loaded inside the cabinet pouring out low end through the three front ports.
This tour-tough, tuned enclosure features no-nonsense electronics including a very responsive 3-band EQ with variable midrange, active and passive inputs, gain and master volume controls, line out, classic chicken head knobs, effects loop, headphone output, heavy-duty touring handles, and casters. Two versions are available, the B120 with a classic full grill front and the B120V Vintage version with porthole-style speaker reveal and open ports. Limited quantities.

"A LOT OF TONE FOR THE BUCK"
Feature:
Has what you need to tune in a wide range of usable tones, handles my 5 string basses with no problem plus it includes a $40 set of removable wheels to transport it easly. If you want effects just buy them! none are included but, that's ok for me I don't use effects.
Quality:
This is not a small light weight bass combo(weight is about 68lbs) and unless you are real strong because of to cabinet size you will need two people to carry it up & down stairs, it is very well made. The "Modern Look" version that I got reminds me of a MARSHALL or HI-WATT.
Value:
great value
Desirability:
suits my needs for what I use it for.
Sound:
Plan and simple: For a $189 Bass Combo you can't ask for a better bass combo at more then 2x the price. It can handle a small to medium size club and just about kind of music as long as your band is not playing at extreme volume levels. If you are a JAZZ, R&B, or MOTOWN bass player this is a winner!.
Support:
Have not needed support.
Overall:
I played several bass combos in the 120 WATTS RMS power range that cost much more then the DRIVE B120, Yes "some" of them did sound a little better, yes "some" are a bit smaller & lighter easier to move around only because they have 1-15" speaker and not 2-12" speakers, but none of the others I tried were worth spending $200 or $300 more for any reason.

"Great for the $$"
Feature:
The amp isn't exactly loaded with features, but has every thing it should: EQ, Line Out, Head-Phone Jack, effects loop... Which is about all i need.
Quality:
Had it three years, and still running strong. No complaints here.
Value:
For the price, this combo can't be beat
Desirability:
Great vintage looks
Sound:
For the Price $200>, i think this amp is awesome. I've owned mine for about 3 years now and have had no issues, i think the problems mentioned in a previous review are due to a freak defect. Mine still sounds awesome, and i have never had any trouble with hum/smoking. Great Sound piece of equipment.
Ease of Use:
Due to it's lack of extravagant features this amp is very easy to use.
Support:
Haven't needed it.....
Overall:
Overall i am happy with my decision. This amp was/is well worth the price i payed for it. DRIVE is a GREATLY under-endorsed manufacturer. They make great stuff at a decent price.
