Feature:
This amp came with alot of extra features, including my favorite, the EQ controls. I love how i can plug in my Dean Vendetta bass and get the warm rich sound of a power ballad, or the sterile hard tone of death metal, throuigh slightly adjustiung the controls.

Quality:
It's Fender... 'Nuff said.

Value:
It's worth twice as much as i paid for mine, easilly.

Desirability:
It's a kick ass piece of machine and it's ease of carying around from place to place makes it great. The handles fold in, it's flat on top so one can stack other equipment on top of it... It honestly makes me drool when i see it in my room.

Sound:
The sound is the best i've ever heard from a "gig" set... and let me tell you, i've been to alot of them. This am allows me to haver a full range of tones that i've been unable to find in any other amp. The inclusion of another amp also allows me rto plug in my two 10" speakers for even more tonal choice. I must have for bassests.

Support:
...We won't go there...

Overall:
I am very sitisfied with it and plan to expand on it even more so. I set-up can't be too big or diverse as long as you can keep up with it... and let me tell you.... I CAN KEEP UP!

Feature:
the features are great, there are so many controls...the only reason i gave it a 9 instead of a 10 was because some of the fancy EQ controls barely make a difference. Like i said this thing is great for bass and guitar

Quality:
this product could easily hold up for multiple gigs and hard playing. its built very very rugged and i

Value:
i thought it seemed kind of expensive but i guess its worth it other than the fact i quit the bass..ill probably end up selling it in the fuiture and getting a guitar amp..but when i played bass this thing was awesome

Desirability:
looks very good, clean design, nice color, built rugged

Sound:
The Sound quality on this is great i played bass about a year and then quit bass and started playing guitar. I use this baby for my Jackson DXMG electric guitar and its awesome. The only thing i can complain about is that it doesnt have a gain control, so i have to use an overdrive pedal, but then again if your using what its meant for(a bass rather than a guitar) that shouldnt be a problem, this thing will suit me good until i find a nice tube guitar amp with gain.

Ease of Use:
i had a little bit of trrouble getting the sound i wanted but after i played with it for a few hours i got it set exactly where i wanted it.

Support:
Fender is a great brand..any bassist or guitarist should knopw that

Feature:
It would be nice if they worked!

Quality:
Cheap, cheap and oh yeah, CHEAP!

Value:
This is the most expensive piece of junk that I have ever bought.

Desirability:
It does not turn me on.

This thing sounds terrible, I had to check the speaker to make sure that it wasn't cut.

Ease of Use:
Makes a good end table.

Support:
Nice people that make crappy amps.

Overall:
I have heard better bass tones from a toilet!

Feature:
All those knobs are real neat but I don't think they actually do anything. The only sound that I can get out of this thing is that annoying mid-range emo sound. Maybe that's who Fender is catering too.

Quality:
Looks real pretty even though it is totally useless.

Value:
Overpriced and overated, I should have bought a cheaper Behringer or something like that. This amp is made in Indonesia like all low to mid-priced amps and more than likely built in the same factory by the same child slave labor.

Desirability:
Looks pretty but lacks any personality at all, kinda like my first girlfriend. The only difference is that I did not have sexual relations with the amp.

Sound:
The sound is O.K. but it lacks in bottom end even with the 15" speaker.

Ease of Use:
I can turn it on and get a little sound out of it.

Support:
Does not hold up my man boobs. Does not even vibrate them.

Overall:
This CANNOT be rated at 250 watts. This thing is seriously low on power. I paid $600 for this thing and this is what I paid for, $100 for the amp and $500 just because it says "Fender" on it.
