This amp has it all. Active and Passive imputs, cd imputs, head phone out, line out and a range of Eq controls on the front pannel. These sit above a 12 inch speaker in a tough carpet covered box roughly the size of a camping fridge(20-16-13 inches or 514-393-330 mm). It also has a handy stand so you can lean if up at 45 degrees for practising by yourself.
At 21 Kg it is not light, but is ok to carry for short distances and fits in the back of my Ford KA (the smalest Ford you can buy).

I am admittedly a complete beginer at bass, but this blows away every other small amp I have heard by miles. I use it with a Mex Fender Jazz and a Ibanez SRX 400 (limited editon Green colour) and it rocks. I used to have noise problems from my neighbours, but once they heard this baby thumping away they became a lot more considerate.
You could certainly use this in small pub gigs or church when playing with accoustic instruments.

No problems yet. However I have not been carting this around to gigs so cannot say how this would stand up. It is clearly well built though and has a strong metal grill protecting the speaker emblazend with a cool white 'W'.

One year warrenty. Never had to get it repaired.
Overall Rating

If you hunt around the net you can get this as low as #145 which makes it a bargin of mega proportions. I have listened to a lot of small amps and this beats them on all counts. I strongly recomend checking this amp out before buying any other small amp.
I also own a Fender Rumble 15 which is posibly the best of the rest. This broke down within two weeks and lacks the punch of the Warwick.
