20 watts. 8 in. speaker.

Vintage-style amps are great when you want to bring back those thrilling sounds of yesteryear, but for today's tones you need an amp spec'd and voiced for the modern player. Ibanez bass amps have the clarity and booming lows of the big rigs - plus they easily handle active or passive basses.

"Best Practice Amp Ever!!!!!"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I am defenitly very satisfied with this amp. If you are playing shows and stuff like that, this wouldnt be the amp for you. Its only 20 Watts, which means its mainly for practice. But dont get me wrong, you can still get this thing loud!
Sound
This is a great starter amp! It has an awesome sound, with a low end punch t it. Im sure some bigger amps have better sound, of course (which is why I gave it a 9) but for beginners, I would give this amp a 10!! And with 20 Watts, it's still pretty loud.
Features
Defenitly has very good features. Has Volume, Bass, Middle, Treble, and Presence knobs, and a 10DB bass boost gain, which sounds really great. It also has CD inputs (so you can plug in your CD player and play along with it) and headphone jack.
Ease of Use
Not hard to use at all!!! Just plug the cord in and adjust the sound to how you want it, and play!
Quality
Made very well, can take a pretty good beating. Ive had mine for a while now, and It has done really good.
Value
VERY GOOD PRICE for this good of an amp!
Manufacturer Support
Havent had any experiences with the company or anything, but I havent needed any repairs or stuff like that.
The Wow Factor
Has a very good apperance. The blue switch that lights up when you turn it on is pretty cool too.
