If you're starting out and want a new amp, you can't really do much better than this for £60. However, after a while, you will discover that it crackles like a b*tch at anything past half volume, and if you have any EQ on, forget about playing it above half volume as well. I was desperate for an amp, so I bought this....the only consolation is that you can let your guitarist use it while you use a goods bass amp.
