15 watts,3 band EQ (low,mid,high) and master volume,headphone jack and on/off switch.Use it now and again with a Boss D-1 distortion pedal and it yields fairly good results. Mostly play punk and metal. Play in a band and this amp is able to compete with (and sometimes drown out) another 15 watt roland amp and a set of pearl drums.Seeing as its simple enough though i'll give it a 4 for feaatures

Using an Encore p-bass rip off with split coil pick ups.It works fairly well for the high tone sorta Mike Dirnt style.Mostly use it in my room and in a garage sorta place.At high volume and pretty much high every other setting it has a light kind of distortion kinda cool actually. I would give the sound a 5 seeing as its nothing brilliant at all really

Well i would use it at a gig without a backup because id have no other choice. Seems fairly reliable, its been kicked over, dropped,stood on, been subjected to temperatures i wouldnt put my worst enemy in and stills sounds as good as the day i got it. There only a couple of scratchs and the handle is a bit loose. So based on that id give it an 8.

I have been playing for a very short time about 8 months but in that time i have gotten to know my equipment very well.I own an Encore p-bass.If this were lost or stolen id mourn it for a while as my first and a half decent amp but id get a bigger and better one. For me its just a starter amp and thats all. I bought in a starter package because (you guessed it) it was cheap (big mistake).It would be brilliant if it had some built in effects but im not complaining. Overall its a good amp that ill probably use for the next couple of years and so earns a 6 outta 10

THis has a three band EQ, master volume, headphone jack and thats about it. Its like 15 watts, good for a beginner.

I play an Ibanez GSR 200 with a Boss ODB-3. I will be good for any beginner. It does have a tendency to skip out if you pump it up all the way.

ITs okay for practicing by yourself, but not for gigging or even practicing with the band. Just not loud enough. Still okay for just sitting in your room and messing around

Ive been playing for a little over 2 years and have since upgraded to an Ampeg BA115. THis is a good amp to start out with or just to keep in your room so you can play at night.
