I compared it with another similar amp with Fender. The extra power for its price made me decide to buy it. Definitely I will buy again this amp and possible upgrade to the next wattage of this series. My favorite aspect of this amp is its versatility. I can even use it as a sound system in a medium sized party. For its price and features for me this is the best.
Features:
I find this to be a very versatile amp both for bass and acoustic guitars. Ideal for church use both for practice and actual performance in church. Its power is just enough to provide a complete sound with other musical instuments. the extra auxillary inputs is best used for my cd or tape recorder. This enables me to practice allong with my practice sources.
Sound Quality:
I use Korg chorus and Yamaha Zoom VAM 200. Not expensive but gives a decent sound quality. Versatility is the word. I can just adjust it to sound the way I like it. As fars as noise is concerned it is just a matter of balancing the tone configurations.
Ease of Use:
Very easy and straight forward to use.
Durability:
I have no complaint with its durability. It is very sturdy.

Bought amp as it seemed to be a good value in comparison to other amps. If I had it to do over again, I would probably have bought smaller, cheaper practice amp and saved the rest for a higher wattage amp for performing.
Price: $135.00 (new)
Where Obtained: Bill's Music House
Features:
35 watt dedicated bass amplifier Tilt-back design 10" coaxial speaker for wider frequency response Active 4-band EQ Limiter with LED indicator Variable input with 10dB gain Master volume control CD inputs Headphone out Line out Effects send and return Closed-back cabinet
Sound Quality:
-Use with Yamaha RBX270J Bass as Practice Amp -Currently Learning How to Play with Intent of Joining Praise Band and playing some Jazz -I expect to eventually buy a higher watt amp for performances -No noticable noise or distortion -Seems to have a lot of Punch for a Practice Amp
Ease of Use:
Can't Make Comparison, but relatively easy to use. It has a lot of features that I have not yet tried. The amp was sold without a manual. My only complaint is that it is not easy to download a manual from the Ibanez Website
Durability:
Solid Construction

I chose this one because I had more features than the others in this price/wattage range. Crate sounded just as good, but didn't offer the "Knobs" like this one. This really is a perfect "at-home" practice amp and I can't imagine how it could be improved upon and still remain at that price.
Model Year: 2002
Where Obtained: B&G Music in Belleville, Illinois
Features:
Gain, Bass, Mid, Treble, Presence, Volume Knobs. Has FX loop send/return jacks; Speaker output jack; headphone jack. This amp is obviously only good for a practice amp or a stage monitor. However, in these two purposes, it is an excellent amp. It has the tilt-back feature and it is sturdy.
Sound Quality:
I use it only for a practice amp. I play my 4 string LTD C-10 (By ESP) and my 5 string by Stellar.
Ease of Use:
This small amp has more features to fiddle with than most other amps of comparable size/price. Very easy to figure out. What I like about is that - if you don't know much about amps, it has enough on it to get educated on the "real amps" that you eventually will deal with as you progress.
Durability:
This is a very dependable and sturdy amp. Heavy-duty hardend rubber/reinforced corners with strong nylon mesh to protect the speaker.
