Feature:
I wish the head was rackmountable. I have a compressor and a BBE Sonic Maximizer that would help to give me even a better tone for my bass. I wish that Ashdown would work on that.

Quality:
The only thing I dont like is the little thump sound that the amp makes when you turn the amp off. Even with all the volumes turned down.

Sound:
This is the best amp head that I have ever bought for under $250. I was late with my rent because I bought the amp instead of paying the rent. It was worth it. Excellent tone even playing at low volumes. I used to own a Hartke 3500 head. Even with the lack of graphic eq, the ashdown has great tone. The only negative, is not being able to rack mount the head.

Overall:
I think that I will be satisfied with this product for a long time.

Great Bass head for the price. 180 watts with cut most small club giggging. If you need more power ! upgrade to Ashdown Mag 300. Service maybe a problem. Like the Carvin i had. Parts cost alot. and Weeks to repair. Good Luck
