"good for practice."

Feature:
the eq is effective but my bass has much more effective controls...i just leave evrything at zero and turn the bass knob a quarter up. the cd input hasnt been used yet but im sure its great for kids who want to learn their favorite bands music and then brag about it.i dont copy from other bassists. dB boost is useless bc if the gain is past 5 with it on the limiter goes crazy. does have a send and return in the back but i dont process my bass through anything so...

Quality:
its pretty sturdy. i sit on it every now and then to play. there is a slight buzz from when my buddy cranked everything up when i wasnt looking and then asked me to play some slap groove...hilarious, have it on tape.i think its a loose screw attaching the amp to the casing. doesnt bother me bc i have an old house and the walls rattle when i play anyway.

Value:
decent value...big practice amp...small performance amp

Desirability:
save some money buy a smaller practice amp...then when you get into a band or when you get better save for a real performing amp.

Sound:
good practice amp very true sounding at moderate volumes. if you strain it too much it distorts and gets nasty and the limiter goes haywire. it picks up a radio station every now and then...seems like an am news talk show...keeps me up to date on the news...its humorous when im not annoyed by it. i use a passive bass through it which seems alright. dont know abt the active bass through it. it has a little fuzz when the dB boost is switched on or when you turn the gain all the way up. but you shouldnt have to do thaT bc its not really meant for gigging, as i said good practice amp. i used it once for a small jazz/jam band gig and couldnt hear myself bc my rich guitarist has a friggin marshall halfstack. which he turned down bc we got pissed that none of us could hear ourselves...great for practice and small small performances.

Support:
ill give them an 8 bc i dont know. shouldnt be too bad.

Overall:
i am satisfied with it as a practice amp and thats about it. as i said it is a very loud and full practice amp so you should save some money and buy a smaller one. or if you want performing amp save up some more and get an amp with more power.
