Sound
This amp sounded good as long as it lasted. It developed a hum and smoked the amp after very little playing time.
Features
The eq was great.
Quality
Had the amp maybe 2 hours and even less time was spent actually using the amp when it smoked. I turned the gain down to shut the amp down when something popped and it smoked out the top. Too bad because it sounded great.
Value
I was wondering about the quality of drive amps. This amp answered my question. They are junk.

"Great for the $$"
Overall i am happy with my decision. This amp was/is well worth the price i payed for it. DRIVE is a GREATLY under-endorsed manufacturer. They make great stuff at a decent price.
Sound
For the Price $200>, i think this amp is awesome. I've owned mine for about 3 years now and have had no issues, i think the problems mentioned in a previous review are due to a freak defect. Mine still sounds awesome, and i have never had any trouble with hum/smoking. Great Sound piece of equipment.
Features
The amp isn't exactly loaded with features, but has every thing it should: EQ, Line Out, Head-Phone Jack, effects loop... Which is about all i need.
Ease of Use
Due to it's lack of extravagant features this amp is very easy to use.
Quality
Had it three years, and still running strong. No complaints here.
Value
For the price, this combo can't be beat

"A LOT OF TONE FOR THE BUCK"
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I played several bass combos in the 120 WATTS RMS power range that cost much more then the DRIVE B120, Yes "some" of them did sound a little better, yes "some" are a bit smaller & lighter easier to move around only because they have 1-15" speaker and not 2-12" speakers, but none of the others I tried were worth spending $200 or $300 more for any reason.
Sound
Plan and simple: For a $189 Bass Combo you can't ask for a better bass combo at more then 2x the price. It can handle a small to medium size club and just about kind of music as long as your band is not playing at extreme volume levels. If you are a JAZZ, R&B, or MOTOWN bass player this is a winner!.
Features
Has what you need to tune in a wide range of usable tones, handles my 5 string basses with no problem plus it includes a $40 set of removable wheels to transport it easly. If you want effects just buy them! none are included but, that's ok for me I don't use effects.
Quality
This is not a small light weight bass combo(weight is about 68lbs) and unless you are real strong because of to cabinet size you will need two people to carry it up & down stairs, it is very well made. The "Modern Look" version that I got reminds me of a MARSHALL or HI-WATT.
Value
great value
