Made in 95 by Marshall. A single channel 15 watt bass practise combo WITH A 10" SPEAKER, makes this a better sounding bass practice amp than the other small, cheap practice amps that are avaliable which only have rediculous 8" speakers, so no bottom end!!! A very basic amp, just Volume, Bass, Middle, Treble, Master, Headphone Out and On/Off switch. Celestion 10" speaker. Closed back. Sturdy cabinet, a bit heavier than a Marshall MG 15 DFX practice amp, but still quite light. Suprisingly loud for 15 watts, and has a good bottom end, not what you would expect from a 15 watt Marshall or Fender bass practice amp. Hight = 16", width = 15 ", depth 8". Suprisingly good for a practise amp. To get a BETTER low wattage lightweight PRACTICE amp you will have to buy a little Ashdown - for how much?

I play a Fender Jazz longscale through this amp. This is a handy practise amp that sounds like a bass amp should, not a farty little 8" speaker quacking like a distressed duck at louder volumes, but a smooth, deep bass. What more could you want or expect from a small, cheap 15 watt practise amp?

This Korean made bass amp has very few features. It has two inputs and a headphone jack and a 8 or 10 inch speaker. Around the house as a practice amp this has all the features and controls I need but when it competes with drums and a couple of guitars it's lack of sufficient power really shows.

Whatever the settings, this amp tends to sound dull, though when it was new the sound quite crisp. There isn't as much variety of sound as I would like. It distorts really badly at the higher volumes when playing low notes. However it is loud enough to play with a couple of others in a smallish room.

This amp is really durable and strongly built and has survived several knocks over. It has never needed to be taken in. However, I wouldn't depend on it outside a practice situation.

I purchased this amp as a practice amp and as an amp to learn on. It has done everything I have needed it to do reliably and that is why I would give it an 8 out of 10. For a beginner it makes a good and well priced bass amp to learn on, but after that you'll definitely need to upgrade to something more powerful.
