Im using a sound gear bass with active pickups. For the most part I have to have the amp clipping and distorting to even hear it over my guitarist's Randall all tube 112 combo. Not much tone but lots of bark.

This amp is definetly a workhorse. I have been crankin it fully clipped out for about a year and a half now. It has only crapped out once or twice since I've had it. Its not like I wasnt expecting it to :)

I was givin this amp. It was fine for jammin in the basement. I also used it for a few gigs. Its a good beginner amp. An evolving bass player would want more clearer and refined tone. But this is great for developing a feel for bass.

Bass combo amp, 150 Watts into 4 Ohms, single 15" speaker, input gain, parametric EQ, four band tone adjust., effects loop, balanced line out. Good practical feature set. My amp was made in '91.

This combo amp sounds very nice. It has a fair range of tone possibilities, although it lacks some highs (as you'd expect without a midrange or tweeter). The amp is very quiet. Can provide a fair amount of volume: easily heard over a wailing drummer.

Have had no problems. Very sturdy construction. Quite heavy - not real transportable.

Fantastic. I contacted the factory for questions on the amp before I bought it and they readily provided answers. Even though I bought it used, they sent me manuals and some replacement knobs for free.

I recommend this amp for someone with a limited budget. It's a strong, work horse bass amp that sounds great. Very good value for the money.
