Feature:
I'll probably add some corner guards and wheels. Love the metal grill! I'd rather hurt my toe a bit then put my foot through my speaker. The knobs seem pretty nice, the jacks look okay to me, but I've heard some concerns voiced about their quality. The cord design is a defintie plus, it's removable and the same kind of power cord you use on computers-you can get a replacement anywhere for cheap--worst case use the powercord off your desktop, cause which is more important, the bass or the computer???

Quality:
As I said above, a bit worried about the corners of the amp.

Value:
For the money it's a winner.

Sound:
Only had the amp a couple of weeks. Nice deep clean sound. Held up fine for practices, but the guitarists haven't brought their 2x10s in yet. My bet is it will be fine. Not as loud as I'd like it to be, but then again my hearing's not great. Seems like it would be fine for a small venue. For the money, it's got a great sound, particularly for blues. The sound quality holds up well at 11. If you want an overdrive sound/distortion, get a pedal.

Support:
Haven't needed it.

Overall:
If this one disappeared I'd probably get another one. The square shape looks great, but makes it a bit bulky. Handles on the side like some of the SWF bass amps would be a nice supplement to the top handle--a bit worried about that. Any one else notice the amps get heavier as you get older?

Feature:
I like the headphone, Cd/Line input and the ability to power an external 8 ohm speaker. Handle on the top so it's a little awkward to cary and I think it would be the first thing to break. Would have been nice to have a line out but for the price I can't complain.

Quality:
Looks well made. Packaged well. No buzzes yet.

Value:
It's a well made product that is a great value after looking at the other 15's out there. Worth every penny, maybe more.

Desirability:
It's black carpet covered with a metal screen. very sexy logo.

Sound:
100 watts. Nice round tone. No tweeter so it sounds old school with nice sustain using my 77 Fender Jazz passive. Not as loud as I expected but otherwise a great practice amp. Put it in the corner of your bedroom and rattle some walls.

Ease of Use:
Pretty straight forward. input gain, bass , middle, treble, output and deep switch. Fairly easy to get the tone I'm looking for.

Support:
Haven't needed it so I don't know.

Overall:
I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.

Feature:
Plug it in, it plays (at least to begin with).

Quality:
Here's the problem. It died about three months after I bought it--kept blowing fuses, like one every 10-seconds. Took me a while to get around to calling the service center--finding their number took a long time. Another month for the service guy to finally get back to me and take care of the RMA. Service guy did not seem suprised by the problem. $35 to ship the amp off. Another month or two to get the AMP back. First time I played through it for more than five minutes it quit. Noticed an LED does was on. Realized, IT DOESN'T HAVE AN LED, SOMETHING IS BURING! Unplugged it, opened the back up, a transistor had burned up. Now out of warrenty. It's definitely English and Scotish--and if it's not Scottish it's...well, you know.

Sound:
For the money it sounds okay, but I'll replace it with a cabinet with a horn--probably a 2x10 rather than a 15.

Support:
See above.

Overall:
I wrote a short review on it on this site a few weeks after I bought. Thought it was important to follow up. English designed electronics built in China, what could possibly go wrong?
