Excellent for beginners
Daphne__ 23.01.2022
I bought this Amplifier with a combo of Electric bass, strap and standing equipment for the bass. Without being a professional bass player, I would say this excellent for beginners regarding the quality of sound, volume and the rest of effects. It is quite cheap and works perfectly fine in small places such as your private room or even bigger ones. I used it in a
experimental performance in a quite big space and I wasn't disappointed, neither the audience. I totally recommended this as a starter pack.

*The only negative part is that Aux input stopped working after a while and the headphones output didn't work from the beginning.

I would say that this is a valid option if bought as part of bass-bundle or something like that. Price is low, but so as the sound quality coming out of the speaker. It's usable as a bedroom amp, but the size of it, and especially the depth is not that great (which is expected for this speaker size and cabinet).
Aux input and speaker out I find most usable, as the sound there is decent, and it's great for practice. Overall considering the price, this is a usable peace of equipment for practicing through headphones, and if you want to let some sound out just for fun, but don't expect much more from it (if on a budget or in doubt if you will stick to the instrument, this is a decent buy...was my case...otherwise look for something with a bigger speaker and more expensive, I think it will make a significant difference in usability and overall experience).

Pros:
- Lightweight, AUX in, Headphones OUT, decent build quality

Cons:
- Small speaker, lacking depth, speaker not great tone, and burping on higher volume

Great practice amp
BenFlitz 23.07.2018
This bass amp is perfect for home use and recording, easy to use and has all the bassic bass tones you could want. The aux input is a great feature, allowing you to play along to a phone or mp3 player, very handy for learning songs. It is surprisingly loud for 20watts and sounds well, plenty of bass and not at all tinny like some small amps. It is well made with no rattles when playing and is very neat inside. If you are thinking about getting it then just do it! It's honestly great

It's OK
SickSixtySix 15.03.2024
Well, I've got to be honest, this is not the best bass amplifier. There's a noticeable lack of bass and I think that's due to the small speaker size (correct me if I'm wrong). Of course, you don't necessarily need to have a lot of bass depending on what kind of music you're willing to play but bear in mind that this issue limits the number of applications.

On the other hand, I did like the built-in compressor. Man, this thing tightens up the sound. If you're on a budget as I was at the time, certainly give it a try, considering that the compression feature could incline you towards liking this amplifier.

You'll be upgrading at some point
LargeBakedPotato 18.12.2021
It's a perfectly fine amp, but it suffers from your typical 25 W and lower issue. The low end is much weaker than the mids and highs, but for the price you can't complain. It's fairly lightweight, has the 3 band EQ and gain setting, and the tiny integrated compressor is quite handy if you don't have a dedicated compressor pedal yet.

Perfect sound
Nickolasgr 09.12.2021
After three months of daily use I can say this Amplifier has the perfect sound I wanted to practice in my room. With the tone on 1/3 to not reach it's limits, I can enjoy my practicing! Maybe somebody wants loud sound, personally I think this amplifier is ideal for quiet, isolating room practice!

Best amp for the price
blackrobin 21.01.2024
It is a 20W amp at a great price. Tone is good. It is thin, so you can easily carry and place it anywhere. Built-in compressor is a big plus. I also love details: it has AUX input and headphones output, both in 3.5mm! So, you can use your equipment (mobile phone, ordinary headphones) easily without an adaptor. This is a really important factor for me when looking for a home-use amp.

OP
A very good amplifier for the price
Olga P 13.10.2020
I bought this amplifier for home practicing for my first bass guitar. It produces very good sound and paired with a good cable I get a very clean and pleasant sound. If you're just starting it is ideal for you, it's the most vfm amplifier at 20w, as all other ones at this price point are 10w or lower. The only con I can think of is its weight (7 kg) which is not that much of a problem since i don't move it around that much.

blown away
COMPTON 05.01.2023
For the price I was n't expecting much. However this amp has exeeded all expectations. It's a great bit of kit with so many options to dial in the sound that I require.

Many thanks

Loud but clips
L0uise 27.06.2022
Amp is really good and can go really loud. It does clip when it's above a certain volume.

Doesn't work well with the B string on a 5string or detuned bass.

Best to not use the compressor button or things just don't sound very good.
