Bought this amp just a month ago, in the Netherlands.
This amp is made in Italy, and it's brand new (serial number 22).
It's a no nonsense one-channel straight forward design.
I like the esay tone control setup, just 4 controls bass, mid-bass, mid treble and treble.
The amp can be switched silence for tuning by means of a jack in front where a switch can be connected. Wish it had a mute-switch on the front panel.
The light weight is also a nice feature!

This is where this amp shines!
A big wonderfull sound! I use it with a standard 4x10" Markbass cabinet. I have a Spector Euro bass and I play in a rock coverband.
For this kind of music this amp setup is just great! There's a preamp tube in the first stage and this can give a very good tuby sound.
There's plenty of headroom! Power enough. No noise at all.

I've been playing bass guitar for almost 7 years now. I play mainly rock covers.
If this amp would be lost I would buy it again!
I compared to EBS (too expensive and sounds less), Eden (sounds good but also much more expensive), Ashdown, Peavey, Ampeg (too expensive).
This amp just has everything I need for playing bass.
Just try this amp!!!!
