I'm a super beginner so I'm not sure what sounds "unreal" and what sounds "Really good", but I've been using this amp with my Ibanez bass, and it will shake my living room! It never buzzes or distorts even at a high level of volume. (It can get real loud for something you can fit in a desk drawer!) I'd buy it again if I needed to and I'll probably stick with Ibanez amps as I go along here learning the bass simply because this is a great experience so far as it works right out of the box and it's compact and loud!!

"Good little practice amp, a solid value."

I believe I would stay with this product.
Sound
I am new to playing the bass and have little expertise on the matter, but it seems to me this practice amp sounds fine. It produces what you need for practicing alone, nor with bandmates.
Features
It's simplistic and does what I need it to do.
Quality
The amp seems very solid yet not too heavy. It's small size is ideal for what it is intended for. Cosmetically it is very appealing.
Value
Again, very good product for what it is intended, a practice by yourself amp. It's loud enough, sounds good enough, and performs well enough. That's all there is to it.

"good amp, but spend the extra 20 for the 20 watt ibanez amp"

it's a really nice amp for a beginner, but you'll outgrow it in about 2 months or as soon as you start trying to play with a drummer. makes a reeeaaaallllyyy good practice amp though
Sound
sounds really good, getting it at full volume with out it sounding distorted takes some practice
Features
good features i guess, i wish it had gain but the presence control is really nice
Quality
very solid and very well make, i feel like if i dropped it, it wouldnt even notice
Value
it's a good deal, but do yourself a favor and spend the extra 20 bucks to get the ibanez 20 watt amp
Manufacturer Support

"Save your pennies, not worth the power"

Overall: 1.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
got rid of mine some 12 years ago and could never be happier.
Sound
The sound is about average, but it's an absolute waste of money if you ask me. If you really need a cheap amp, buy used. You're wasting your time with this 6" speaker amp. It's way underpowered, plus the 6" speaker can't handle a 5 string or anything lower than standard E tuning without distorting the sound to a fart like distortion which sounds terrible. Obviously it lacks on bass, the mids and highs are there, but very thin on bass.
Features
It's a puny combo amp, what accessories, it's as simple as it gets volume, bass, mids, and treble, and plug for your input jack.
Ease of Use
You really can't modify it too much, it's very simplistic and very thin on bass so you're pretty much narrowed down to mids and highs
Quality
It's about average, don't know how the quality really is as I just gave it away after purchasing an Ampeg
Value
Not worth the money!!! save your pennies and buy yourself something for around 300$ which will have 200-300 watts. Wattage and sound somewhat works like units per dollar, the more you pay the more you get per dollar. By you paying 70$ for this amp, you only get a miserable 10 watts which is next to nothing, you may as well get a portable direct plug in Vox amp jack which is cheaper and a lot more useful. At $300 you can already find a good name amp such as Ampeg, Fender, Behringer, GK, Hartke, etc. except of course for super high end stuff like Markbass, EBS, and Warwick, there the price point is insane, more for those tweek-picky bassists. But most well known brands mentioned above should be more than enough.
Manufacturer Support
Never dealt with

it sucks in every way possible, I'm shocked it's still on the market after 13 years.
