Its basically a 15 Watt (@ 8 ohms) amp with a 8" speaker.
Build in China in 2007, company is Dutch.
Very versatile and sounds big for its size.
I play metal, some funk and bass solo's. I can say its handels them all well.

15W @ 8 ohm trough 8" speaker.

I rehears on this at home. 15W does the job. It is even 20w but the it produces 15w and the speaker is oversized which is a good thing.
Con!:
Missing gain...It has only one channel and no pre gain.
Sound Quality

My bass is a old custom build Westone. Its got a P and J pickup.
Both sound nice trough it, sometimes P-pup sounds muddy. But that can be helped with its EQ.
Basically no noise even on my room with no ground loop. My guitar amp sounds really noisy even clean, so thats a big plus.
It can be funky and deep as well. I play Cliff Burton to Stu Hamm to Flea. It sounds nice but not great. It hasn't got real bottom end because of the small speaker. But then agian its quite nice considering it only cost 90 euro. When slapping, the limiter handles much before clipping.

It handels extremely well.
Sturdy built, egdes have metal guard strips. It has a big handle and it has a internal overheat prevention. Because one time it got so hot it just turned itself off, after 15 min or so I could turn it back on and use it again.

Overall Rating

I've been playing for some years now.
If played hundreds of amps, guitars and basses.
If it were stolen I would buy it again sure.
I as thinking of a line6 lowdown 110 but that just made my bass sound bad, plus it has this synth mode that makes your bass sound like a nintendo, so I figured keep it clean.
Well I'm just missing the gain and maybe a cooling fan.
