Stagg 20BA 20W RMS Bass Guitar Amplifier

Advantages: Wide Tonal Range, Quality Construction, Price
Disadvantages: No Reverb

...to purchase a Laney Bass Head for this application. This could prove to be very useful if you would like the extra power of a cabinet but you do not have the money to buy a bass head, this would be an excellent temporary substitute. Although no use to me, a nice feature none the less! :o) Sound ---------- I’ve found that the sound quality of the HCM15B to be excellent for a practice amp of this price. Although reverb would have been excellent, this amp has mastered every feature it includes and I have been greatly impressed with this. The range of tones which this amplifier produces with ease is fantastic from extremely low B notes (this amp is perfect for 5-String players like myself) to high G notes any beyond.

Advantages: Very easy to use, very accurate.
Disadvantages: Quite small, loud noises can interfere with tuning with built in mic.

...This is a must for any musician on the move, or simply someone who needs to tune guitars often.

It corrected the tuning perfectly and now my guitar doesn't sound in pain every time I play it. This tuner can be used on acoustic guitars, as well as electric ones, also for bass guitars, but I do not own a bass so I don't know how it performs in that area. Electric guitars can be plugged into the side of the tuner for more precise tuning. It does have a built-in microphone, so connecting it to your guitar isn't completely necessary. Due to the microphone, this allows acoustic guitars to be tuned as well. It has a very simple interface, and as a beginner to the world of guitars, I found it extremely easy to operate. It has a digital display (two AAA batteries... Read review
