The moment I saw this amp I wanted it!!! I got it with my bass so I got it I think $40 cheaper!! If it were stolen I would look to find a new one. It would be better if it had built in overdrive or distortion but I don't mind it doesn't have it because it is my first amp. I also would like more watts. My favorite aspect of the amp is the effects loop. My least favorite aspect is the lack of wattage. OVERALL RATING 93/100
Model Year: 1999
Price: $170.00 (new)
Where Obtained: Guitar Center
Features:
The amp has 4 knobs a high, medium, low, and of course a volume. It has an effects loop. It is NOT powerful enough for a gig but I have several band practices with it. I think it is a great bass for home practicing.
Sound Quality:
I use an Ibanez GSR200 bass and a Zoom50611 with it. The music I play is rock and country. Anywhere from AC/DC to Green Day to Shania Twain. I have never played anything else.
Ease of Use:
Easiest amp ever to use!!!
Durability:
I think it should be a good HOME PRACTICING amp.

I think I would buy this amp again if it got stolen. I'd be pretty mad, too. It's only a 25w amp, so there's not much power you can get out of it. It be nice if there was a place you could stash the power cord when the gig's over.
Model Year: 2000
Where Obtained: Birthday Present
Features:
Two inputs for both active and passive. It's got the Lo,Mid, and Hi EQ, and it has to plug-ins for a CD player or tape deck so you can jam with your favorite CD. When using that feature, the power given to the sound of the CD is lowered so that you can hear yourself playing. It's got an effects loop area so you can plug in whatever effect system you have. It has a head-phone jack, but you need a special adaptor for that.
Sound Quality:
This is the only amp that I've ever owned and it has pretty good sound compared to others that I've heard. It should really only be used for practice though, because it tends to get drowned out by other amps. There's only so far that you can turn it up before it starts distorting the sound from your bass.
Ease of Use:
This isn't a programmable amp. It's pretty much your basic practice amp. The only thing you have to do is plug in and play.
Durability:
This is the only amp I've owned and I've been using it for all the gigs that my band plays. It carries the tones very well, and has never given me any problems before. I played it once for 7 hours straight and no problems. Pretty solid construction too. I know I've banged it around a lot, especially in the trunk of my car out in the middle of winter. It still sounds great though.

A great 25W practice amp.
Where Obtained: Borrowed
Features:
Lo, Mid, and Hi EQ, active and passive inputs, headphone jack, RCA input jacks, 10-inch speaker, 25W
Sound Quality:
Sounds good, and can pump some bass for a little practice amp. I only increase the Hi EQ setting a little. Headphone sound reproduction is great. You can crank this amp pretty good before you get distortion. This is a borrowed amp, and has been around for a while. Everything on it works perfectly.
Ease of Use:
Just plug stuff into it.
Durability:
I have a hard time believing anyone has giged this amp, but everything works fine. I have played it for hours cranked up to 7 or 8.
