Advantages: Does everything, and then some
Disadvantages: A little pricey if all you want is a straight 30 Watt practise amp

This bass amp is tremendous fun if you simply want to play for sheer enjoyment, jamming with friends and trying out different effects, as well as being able to load midi files (backing tracks and so on) from the web and play / practise with them. It is not the cheapest 30 watt kick-back amp around, but it is packed with features and can "model" a host of different amp systems and styles, from valve amps to huge stacks, as well as add a wealth of ...

Advantages: Good sound
Disadvantages: Heavy!

...and use it with a Marshall 3520 integrated bass amp 200w MOSFET. Initially, I had problems. At mid-volumes the bottom end would fart and lose power. After seeking advice, I was told that the amp couldn't cope with the "low" impedance cab. The amp is rated at 200w at 4 ohms; I measured the cab and found it was 3.4 ohms, slightly less than the 4 ohms stated on the rear plate. I then rewired the cab - two 10" speakers in series, then paralelled with ...

I now plug straight into the retuen socket of the effects loop which by passes the amp's preamp. Very happy with it! ... Read review

...again. I love how they took that strong buzzing sound out of the bottom E, as it makes the guitar sound a lot cleaner and better when using distortion effects. A very big craze actaully in the nottingham area with them, but whos surprised at such a great guitar for so so cheap. ... Read review

Advantages: A nice little practice amp
Disadvantages: gets a bit fuzzy when you turn up the gain too much

Id say it weights about 20 lbs too. so if you measure it up, its pretty small. Its only a 20W amp, but dont let the size fool you, this baby can get pretty loud with the bass volume and amp gain at full, infact, ...
