"Great size/weight! Decent volume! Lacks low end "feel" somewhat due to small cab"

I LOVE how little this amp is! At 13lb, I can strap it around my shoulder and take it along with my upright bass in a single trip, up the steps, through narrow alleys, etc. And as long as I set the amp against a wall, this little thing generates great volume! I play jazz and the amp works wonders in a combo setting, even with drums. The only thing I noticed is that it does low end bass "feel" that you get with the larger cabs--which I suppose is expected. But, it's probably more noticeable by me since being the bass player I'm more sensitive. None of my band members noticed. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase. I also own 2 other larger PJB combo amps.
