Piece of crap.The only thing it beats is not having an amp at all.Better off with something used
Sound Quality:
Crap,and not very loud crap at that.It starts distorting horribly the moment you try and get some volume out of it.
This is a very good PRACTICE AMP. As far as 15 watt practice amps go, this is a nice one. Don't expect to play it next to a drummer or a gymnasium. I moved up to a much, much larger amp, but I still have my Squier to diddle around with.

This little amp has a low, mid and high gain knobs. A Headphone jack and a "line-out" plug to power another amp is located on the front panel.
For a 15 watt practice amp, it does the trick. If you want your bass to rattle the windows and shake the floor, forget it. That's not what this amp is for. It's made to practice in your bedroom with. It does a fine job on all types of playing styles.
Very easy to use. Plug it in and go. It's capable of producing a range of tones, so play with it a little to find what you like.
Very durable. Very SOLID practice amp.
Overall Rating:
Don't pick this up unless you buy one of those stupid bass kits from fender. It's nothing special and you barley get what you pay for. Like I said before this is nothing more than a bedroom pratice amp.

This amp has 3EQ controls, 1 volume, headphone jack, and an ext. speaker jack. It's solid state with 15amps going to a 8" speaker. It has decent power for it's size but it's nothing more a bedroom practice amp.
Sound Quality:
I don't think this amp was quite right when i got it. It's always had a much louder hiss than normal and it can only go about 6/10 on the volume before it sounds very distorted like the speaker will blow out. The 3EQ controls are hard to fine tune and keep consistant. I like to play realy bouncy punk and if you can keep it quiet the distortion isn't too bad. But don't expect big sound from this.
Other than the EQ it is easy to use. But really the only bells and whistles it comes with is the EQ so that doesn't say too much.
It is pretty solid. It gets kicked over pretty often when I get a bit wild, and their was an incident when it got droped down the stairs but it's held pretty strong.
Overall Rating:
If this is your first amp, move on asap. Don't consider it as a second unless it's more powerful than your current one.

Features:
It has volume, bass, treble, and mid controls. It also has a headphone jack, another amp hookup, and imputs. It's not too powerful, as it's a personal practice amp.
Sound Quality:
I hate the sound in it because it's horribly hard to fine tune.
Ease of Use:
It is HARD TO GET TO SOUND LIKE ANYTHING OTHER THAN CRAP
I chose this amp because it came with a starter package i bought, but i think i would buy it again if it got lost or stolen. I like it alot because of its durability and size so i can leave it at home for practicing.

-has volume, low, mid, and high knobs, the power switch, the input, and a place for headphones or another speaker. I like this amp as a stay-at-home practice amp.
I've used squier and ibanez basses with it. I play metal music and this amp seems to do pretty well with it and many other styles. The sound is sort of lacking compared to other, bigger amps ive used. it is sort of noisy because there's a short in the speaker and it makes lotsa noise when i face it or stand to close to it and it gets sort of a buzzy sound at high levels. It may be small but its very powerful.
This amp is not programmable but it is easy to get the sound you like, unlike some amps ive used.
I think it is steady enough for live playing because it is built very well and very heavy duty. I've never had it repaired.
