I want to be buried with it! I have a bigger amp for small venues. I would replace it in a heartbeat. I would not change a thing on it!
Sound
This little amp is very versatile and loads of fun to play with. I got this amp to practice and hone my chops as well as home recording. I use a Fender Precision and an Ibanez SR300F with it and particularly love the 59 Bassman sounds as I am an old geezer of 62!
Features
It comes with the software(download), a basic instruction manual and a USB cord. You need to buy a footswitch if you are so inclined. The build quality seems very good.
Ease of Use
For all you young whippersnappers this amp should be easy to use. I started out on a 57 P Bass and a Fender Bandmaster many years ago and I got the hang of it fairly quickly.
Quality
Fit and finish are nice and it has serious balls for a little amp!I am impressed.Take decent care of it and you should get a lifetime of use. I will get a cover as I like my gear to retain good looks as well as musical capability.
Value
Hell yes! What a great little amp for 250 clams!
Manufacturer Support
Fender has always been A-OK with me!
The Wow Factor
It's cute, sounds great, and is flexible. Just remember you metalheads, it's a practice and recording amp-not a thermo nuclear warhead!

Great sounding amp! Practice and recording will do fine. Good for a small coffee shop gigs too! Modeling qualities are excellent. You gotta realize it's a 40 watt amp, it's not gonna do a stadium! The XLR can get you to a PA easy tho. LOL!

The sale person was great he helped me with just what I needed. The Bass amp I bought is great and even take it to smaller gig to play. Its not heavy and can blow out some great sound. zZounds is nothing but great. If it's not to your liking send it back end of story. I all so like the pay and play as you go plan that helps out a lot. Hey next year my plans is a new set of skins.. Not sure yet if it will be a Lud Wig or another brand. But you can't go wrong with this amp its power full and great sound and any bass player will love it.

Of all the presets only one or 2 I could find that was a clean tone..after 2 days of mid volume playing with and with. out the compressor the woofer failed..seems like this amp doesent work well with a live eq. equiped bass..as in ibanes sr series .

Bought this for the fender name even with the countless presets only found one that I liked..hard to dial this amp in..the compressor does not work well..I didn't crank it up past 7 on the volume after much searching among the dials and presets the woofer blew out ..my opinion don't use it with eq epuipt. basses like ibanez sr series this amp lasted about 2 days!
