I'm using a 2006 SX-SJB bass, all stock. I play jazz and blues, and it's used mainly as a practice amp at home. It has one channel, basic equalization with vintage and modern settings. I usually use the vintage setting for a more mellower tone. It has very simple, clean sound, and even though it's only 20 watts, it can pack a punch at higher volumes. I've never tried to jam with it, so I can't say how it would do when competing against other instruments. For that I have a Peavey Basic 112.

I've owned quite a few Peavey, and this is as bullit-proof as the others. Has not broken down at all.

I've been a guitar player for 43 years, played classical upright bass in orchestras for at least 10 years, and have been playing electric bass pretty solidly for the last three years. Half my playing time is focused on solo jazz guitar, the other half is jazz and blues bass. I play the bass in jam sessions at least six times per month. Other equipment I own; a Godin LG Signature, a Peavey Basic 112 bass amp, a Roland Microcube, a Behringer Reverb Pedal, and a Dunlop Wah.
I love this amp for two main reasons, first, it's light weight and very easy to carry around. Second, it turned out to be a great jazz guitar amp. Although it lacks built in effects, the addition of the reverb pedal does the trick. A wide array of tones can be dialed in for both bass and guitar. The Modern setting adds that upper end for guitars. I'll be jamming allot this summer at friends cottages, so it will be great to just have to bring one amp for both guitar and bass. The only thing I want to try is adding a distortion pedal for some blues playing to see how it does.
