I have had the amp for about 14 years now I think, got it in the early 90's Just cleaned the pots for volume and the master and sounding sweet again. I have always like the sound of the thing.

A good amp just to bash around, a good solid amp. Yeah, would try and get another one if something happened to it.

This Amp was made in 1998. I play everything from Blues to Heavy Rock.I use a Kawai Albatross which is a basic bass axe.It has 2 Channels High and Low output and is a solid state practice Amp.This amp has a 10 inch speaker It has a line out and a head phone jack. Also has a speaker ext. socket. othe channels share the EQ High Med. and Low adjustments. Volume is controlled by a Vol. gain pot and a Master. Im not concerned that its basic in features as it is a great little and lite weight practise amp for me. Could easily be used for small sittings and jamming.

This Amp is all I expected in a good solid practice Amp. There is no effects loop or foot switching so limited in sounds but what it does do is the basics very well. There is no speaker distortion when cranked and has enough volume to wake the neighbours. Not very gain orientated and gain is more a volume than anything else. For a good clean practice sound its a good option.

SM-25B(BASS AMP)- 80W practice combo, one 10in speaker. Controls for Volume, Master Volume, Bass, Mid, Treble. Headphone jack, Line out. 2 imputs.I've had this amp for a while, It was my first bass amp. It is a practice amp, but I think it's actually loud enough to use for soft bands, or in a coffee house type venue. If you have a drummer, and he/she uses a full kit, this won't be heard over that though. But it's more then adequate to use for practice, or for a first amp.

It's a practice bass amp. Nothing fancy, it has a decent sound. It more or less takes the sound of your bass and amplifies it. I give it a pretty high rating because it loud for it's size, and sounds great for a cheap amp from a no-name company.

Had it for almost 8 years, and I have beat the s**t out of this thing. It's constructed pretty well. Nice and solid, i've had no problems whatsoever...except for one of the imput jacks getting loose, I didn't fix it so it went out. But other then that It's a nice solid practice amp.

I like it. A nice cheap practice amp that's pretty loud for it's size and well constructed for the money. I don't remember what I payed for it, but it was definitely well worth it. It's lasted me over 7 years of torment and being slammed around with almost no problem. It's a real buy it, play it and don't worry about it amp. It gets an 8 for being a great value, reliable, and decent sounding for practice, but loud enough for playing quiet "coffee house" situations.
