"I'm impressed with Roland's Cube-100 Bass Amp"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I may buy a 2X10 cabinet or something - but we will see. I was impressed from day one and that hasn't changed.

Sound
The amp is quiet, first of all, and the sound is phenomenal. I still can't believe that all of that sound comes out of this little package.

Features
These features are just really amazing. The cabinet modeling, the effects, T-Wah, delay, reverb, flange . . . I can really just get rid of my digitech pedal. A bass player will never use all of those effects. This amp provides you with just what you need to deveop the sound you want.

Ease of Use
It would be nice if the pedals came along with it, but you can't ask for too much at this price. However, when you have it on a stand, it tilts it back and places the controls out of view and reach. Other than that, I have no complaints. It's easy to use without even using the manual. And, did I mention that it sounds great?

Quality
It is well built and gig worthy. I bought it thesame day of a gig. I was skeptical that it would stand up to two screaming guitarists and a drummer with a massive kit. So, I took my Kustom Groove 1400 and my Heavey, I mean Peavey 15" cabinet, just in case. It stayed in the trailer all night. The Cube 100 held it's own in providing stage sound and I got nothing but compliments on the sound out front because of the XLR Direct Out to the board.

Value read more
This is the best money I have ever spent. As any musician knows, a LOT of money is spent as the years roll on and many times we want that money back and a bonus. I feel like I stole this item at this price. It's great!

Manufacturer Support
Haven't had to contact them.

The Wow Factor
It's well built and good looking as well. To girls, it's "cute". But, it also serves as a great conversation piece when people can't figure out where the bass amp is . . . it's smaller than the guitarists amps, but has a breat big bass amp sound.
