"Great Cabinet"
I’ve had mine for years and used it to play Bass and Guitar through. The Bass was used at smaller venues with a 60 watt head and also used as a spare monitor cabinet for the guitar player on the other side of the stage for bigger venues. I also play Guitar and it actually works great with my crate GFX1200h head and also used as a monitor cabinet with my Crate Excalibur 220 head for the Bass player. I feel how it’s used, depends on the sound of the cabinet, if it’s over powered, it’ll sound like crap. Taken from experience.

"If you're smart, you won't get this!"
If this broke, or anything, I'd prolly be angry cuz I wouldn't have anything to play through. But yeah, don't get this. Easy as that.
Sound
Okay, so I don't own it, but I'm pretty much permanantly borrowing it offa my friend. The sound of this is mediocre at best. I have the straight version and when you're standin up playin, you know, it doesn't sound bad. Mic it, and ouch. These speakers are horrible. The bottom end isn't terrible, I just crank the low on my amp. If you have a Peavey XXL, or are buying one, DO NOT get this cab, it's really not great at all. I'm savin up for a Peavey 5150 or a Carvin cab.
Features
It isn't heavy, and I move it around a lot for gigs and such, so the light-factor is good, but the handles broke...no biggie, I can still carry it by myself just fine. There aren't any casters, but not that you need any.
Quality
It's a tiny cab. Short, not too wide at all...the wood is like composite-pressed wood or somethin. Almost like particle board. The speakers really, really are horrible. If anyone says that they sound good, they put their standards LOW. I got this offa my friend because I had heard an XXL through a 5150, and, not thinking that the cab would have a lot to do with it, got this. Stupid me. The XXL is amazing, just not through this. Also, the handles broke off, one while i was carrying it, the other just kinda slowly went. Not meant to be moved/carried/transported.
Value
Ehhhh...like I said, mediocre at best. The sound really doesn't reproduce well. And by the way, If you want to hear an XXL through a good cab, go to purevolume.com/sixcolorpress. Their guitarist drew has one through a 5150 and it sounds GOOD.
The Wow Factor
It's a small lil' sucker. And women don't like small amps. Not that I do either, but hey...dangit why do they ask me the "sex appeal" of it!?

"Great for clubs."
It's good, especially if you plan to use it a lot.
Sound
It's a full sound. Whatever you give it, it produces. Let's you get loud, with clear bass and high's.
Features
Has casters... not so great pushing it through a parking lot, but it's light enough to pick up.
Ease of Use
It's a cabinet. Plug it in.
Quality
Crate makes some good amplifiers and cabinets. This is one of them.
Value
I got mine used, for only a couple hundred. Was a pretty good deal for me.
Manufacturer Support
Never had to call about anything for this.
The Wow Factor
It's all black, and has a black grill, instead of the fabric. I took the 'CRATE' logo off the front, though. Just a couple of screws.
