"Compact, powerful, and flexible head that can rattle plaster when called upon."

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Sound
This is a simple, yet flexible bass head that produces a lot of power. I play in a 300 seat auditorium and it produces plenty of power through a Genz 210 cabinet. Not a lot of controls, but by using the enhance button and tone controls, one can produce a pretty wide range of tonal variations. No reverb or "effects", but I put those through a foot controlled pre-amp if I want to fool around with more snazzy stuff.
Features
I like the enhance mode. Ergonomics are great. Light and thin. Wish it had more effects built in, but not a problem in my case.
Quality
Really well made unit. Durable and attractive.
Value
A superb value for the money.
