IT has amazing sound, it makes my bass sound much better than the old crate i was using. Everyone was like wow in the room when i fired it up to play. It has great use for the music i play, such as Rock, sometimes funk solos, it is perfect.

No accessories included, but what is there really helps, if u adjust the gain to master volume properly, it helps it sound extremely well.

Just picking it up i said, wow this is awesome. It looks really cool too, the tolex is just sweet. I don't need a back up with this, it would sit around and collect dust forever

It is perfectly priced for what features you get. it is wonderful, and i am sure that i will not have anyproblems with it.

i haven't had to talk with them, the unit works perfect, no problems ever.

From the time i pluged in, i was hooked, there was no way i was going home without this amp.

It sounds great! I'm a grungy/garage rock type bassist, and it caters to my style. Even at full volume, you won't have to worry about crackling or anything odd.

This does exactly what you want it to do, nothing less, and (not really a bad thing) nothing more. It's got all the familiar options that you would find on any other amp.

I didn't have any problems trying to use the amp. That's saying something, considering I got it without a manual. As long as you know what you're doing and what does what, you'll get the sound you want.

Overall, the amp is pretty well made. On mine, there's a little wear and tear on the handle and cover, but that's partially because of mishandling. It's the kind of amp I could sit there and beat on repeatedly seeing how many hours it would take to break. As other people said, it's built like a tank.

You get what you pay for, that's all I really have to say.

I haven't dealt with the company, so I scored it in the middle.

When I first got the amp, it wasn't really into the build of it, but it's grown on me over time.

The sound is fantastic; vintage all the way. Tube sound with solid state components is amazing.

More the enough for small to medium venues.

Plug and play...what's not to like?

Built like a nuclear fallout shelter.

Not in the starter amp area but you get what you pay for. You cannot but a price on quality anyway.

Haven't used them yet; and don't expect to. But I've heard good things from others.

Brilliant in every way.

This little guy is basically a tank wrapped in a shark-skin suit that can bellow out with the best of them,whether it be indoors or out.No frills on this amp !! just pure power and sound if you play jazz rock blues country or funk the settings on this amp can set up very easily to your liking.It has that"Ampeg sound" to it and for those of you that play bass thru an ampeg?. you know what I mean.Exellent lows...nice mids and funky highs..be sure you play with it until you get your sound and make certain the gainlight is in its green color.You'll be very happy.

It has all the "features" one could need....(altho a compressor might be nice sometimes in recording situations.)it has all the bells and whistles(or lack of) that I need to perform.

very very simple........just make certain that you play with it first...test it see which settings you like with the 3 presets and the 3 settings.The manual on this amp is LESS THAN 1 PAGE LONG !! and pretty much tells you what you need to know in plain english.

Like I said its an Ampeg. built tough,rugged....mean like a junk-yard dog....mine was used and had a few "battle scars" but nevertheless kept true to its personality and performed exellent when ever called upon.

its a bit pricey but overall darn well worth it....you certainly get what you pay for..

Appearantly,Ampeg has sold its parts area to Loud Tecnologies out of Washington state.I needed a "stove knob" for the gain and I simplycalled Loud placed the order(cost me .64) and it arrived,late but it did arrive.

Ah yes the blue/green tolex covereing retro thing...... looks very...I mean very very cool!....like its name the Rocket bass its a tough mother......but dressed to kill..looks good under harsh lighting too!

I would rate the sound equal to the SVT and other bass heads ampeg makes. Great sound

The feature I love is the versatility of the tonal controls and the bass,mid and high boost make it great no matter what your style is. Plus I use the line out for my tuner.

Give anyone a few minutes with the amp and they will have the sound they want. It is very well designed amp for just practicing to gigging out and I would recommend that you have wheels on it to make it a little easier moving around.

This product reminds me of the same quality ampeg developed in the past. I could easily see this lasting as long as you want to play.

That is a big YES.

I have dealt with Ampeg in the past with nothing but high praise to the company standing strong behind the products they develop

The main appeal to me is knowing the quality of everything Ampeg I have played on since the 70s

Started on guitar at a young age then switched to bass mid 70s

Rock and roll as well as other styles over the years.

Sound much like early B15's Easy to vary tone from one style of music to another. If you need more power go to a stack. Amp is made for small to medium club scene.

The only features are three presets and line out. No extra fluff. No XLR out... just four tone controls with gain and master volume.

Amp is so easy to use it is rediculous...If you know what you want to hear. Presets are good easy to vary tone to suit situation.

Thing is built like a tank...I invested in a Tuki cover for it and after 2 years it still looks new. Did have clumsy roady drop it off stage and bent caster but that was not amps fault...that is total breakage for over two years worth of almost nightly use (15-20 shows a month average)

It is a little pricey for a 100 watt amp but you get what you pay for.

Have not needed support...so far

Amp is sexy..period....everyone who sees it falls in love with the little sucker
