As beginners, we are having a lot of fun with it. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Good question! It sounds great here in my room, at band practice, and at gigs. The sound at the very beginning of the episode is the sound of the amp in the room from a shotgun mic connected to the camera. I also mention at the beginning of the demo that at first it's just the sou d of the amp through that same mic about 6 feet away. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!

Thanks!

Thanks!

I'm not surprised. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks a lot for watching the video and commenting!

Thanks for watching and commenting! We have a lot of Ryobi tools in our shop!

I'm not actually sure what you are trying to say here. I couldn't find your comment in the video's past comments or relies. Perhaps if you were a bit more specific I could address your comment. Anyway, we do appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and leave a comment. Hopefully you were in some way entertained and informed.

Thanks!

Thanks for watching and commenting. Leave us a response here after you have had some time to play with it and let us know how it works out. I'm sure there are other viewers who would appreciate hearing about your experiences. Mine is still on my board.

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment! This little amp has turned out to be super handy. I even use the heaphone output sometimes. I suspect the kids are going to get some more use for when school starts up in a couple weeks.

Thanks for watching and commenting. We have 3 of these now. I use them for home practice, demos, and gigs

Check out a few EQ pedals for guitar. You may find one with the frequencies you want. Just because it doesn't have "Bass" in the name doesn't mean it won't work. Thanks for watching and commenting! EDIT - I decided to edit this comment in case I came accross as condesending in some way. I know that YOU know that a pedal doesn't need to say "Bass" on it. It was meant as a humorous aside, like the way I would say it if I was casually talking to a friend. Unfortunately, all of the tone of voice and body language is missing when we communicate in text. As far as I'm concerned, you took the time to watch my video and leave a comment, which puts you up in the top percentage of cool people in my small universe here on RUclips. I always assume the people I'm talking to are probably smarter than I am. That goes for you as well.

Sorry, there isn't much time in 1 minute. There's an audio demo as part of the full review. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to watch and comment!

That's a pretty good use for this amp. The 3.5mm input and the headphone amp can also be useful for silent practice, but I admit I prefer small headphone amps like the VOX Amplug for that. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!

I would say just find the best deal. If you can't find or don't want to pay someone to do your set ups, there are a lot of great videos on youtube that will show you how to do it. A screwdriver and the allen wrenches that come with the bass should be all you need to do a basic set up

Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Samuel recently found a left handed Squier CV 70s strat. It's a great guitar

Interesting, I'm playing with my volume at about 75% at practice and gigs, with a 4 piece drum kit in the room. You guys must be really loud. One of the viewers recently commented that he added a 4 x 10 , 8 ohm cab and it sounded great. You should be able to turn your volume all the way up, but a second speaker cab will allow you to get the full 200 watts

@@rockoutvideography91 I guess we are that loud. Just so you know I've emailed ampeg and they told the speaker is a laVoce and the rated power handling is 200 Watts. Which makes no sense to me since I need an extern cabinet to reach that power

Thanks for the info update on the speaker brand. Hopefully people will see your comment. I'm also confused by what Amped told you. Maybe someone who can explain it better will let us know.

Thanks for watching and contributing to the discussion. Several viewers have commented that it is a "Passive radiator", although one viewer has his doubts due to the small size of it. I had never heard of this and had to look it up. I "Think" it is a passive radiator, or at least it is meant to be one. Perhaps the size is big enough or it's still partially doing it's job and that is the size they had to work with? Your description seems to be one of the features a passive radiator would provide to bass frequencies.

@@rockoutvideography91 Quite right thanks for the update, I use a pretty big Cerwin Vega SUB with a matched powered monitor for Bass, the MA-10B looks okay for close range practice and it's cheap enough.👍

I just looked at my settings, the ones I had it set at for the gig we played a couple weeks ago. I had it set at Bass -1, Mid -2, High +2.5. Since I'm using an EQ pedal to cut at 50hz and boost at 120hz, these settings sound good in our practice space and the club we usually play at. I usually cut the low frequencies where the kick drum needs to sit. This usually gives us a good low end in our mix. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks for watching and taking the time to share your story. 2 gigs ago I played my Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass and it sounded great. No one, including other musicians at the gig had anything to say about it. I also used to mostly play my Squier CV 50s P Bass with the band and everyone thinks that one sounds great as well. (That bass has a damaged input jack and is getting completely un-necessary upgrades ) At my last gig a few weeks ago I played my "62 re-issue real Fender USA P Bass" Guess what? No one came up and asked what kind of bass it was or commented that I sounded any better than usual. The Affinity Bass is also getting a bunch of "Upgrades" soon. But honestly, these modification or "Upgrade" projects I have going on are just passion projects for fun. I really do not expect any drastic improvement in the way the instruments will sound.

Thanks for watching and commenting!

I wondered how long it would take someone to notice that... Thanks for watching and commenting.

I'm glad the video was helpful. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. I had made the assumption that they were cheaping out on materials but had not concidered the logistic and supply chain issues you raised. Since these Squier instruments are being made by different companies, in different countries, at different times, I wonder just who is making the "Fender" bridges. Does each factory make their own, or are they being sourced from sub-contractors who provide them? If I buy a bridge from a company like "Musicilly" is it the same product? Now I'm really curious. The person who would probably be able to answer this is Phill McKnight.

@@rockoutvideography91 I'm utterly certain that the bridges are made by a sub-contractor. A standard bridge (for example) has 21 components, 5 of which need to be machined (I count 25 drilling & 12 tapping operations) polished, and electro plated. In the case of the Himass bridge, the same 5 components are die castings - does anyone know of a guitar factory that has a foundry ? The investment in machinery & plant needed to produce bridges simply isn't worth it when there are plenty of engineering factories who already have the tooling & are capable of turning them out relatively cheaply, and while it's perfectly feasible to produce them separately in each country where the guitars are built, I'm sure that it would be simpler & cheaper to source them all from one supplier and ship them to the different factories as required. Phil McKnight may indeed be able to answer the question, though whether his factory tours have ever included the factories' component stores - nothing exciting to see there - is doubtful.

Dang, that was a really great response. Thanks!

Thanks for watching and commenting. I "assumed" it would work but found it curious that it was not mentioned in the manual, so I tested it. I like to test things.

My only comparison is my old SVT amp from the 1990s through a 8x10" cab. I don't think the comparison would be fair. They both sound good. As far as budget? I'm happy with my purchase. If you are looking for an amp for practice and gigs in this price range, this one is a good choice. I have been using it for over a year now.

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I had missed that difference between mutes and fret wraps. I appreciate when people share their knowledge here in the comment section. I am constantly learning new stuff from the viewers!

Both of my Behringer pedals are still going strong after a few year without any broken plastic parts. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

So far we have been using these same sheap power supplies on 3 different pedal boards and have not ahd any issues. Thanks for the comment!

I do not percieve any latency at all. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!

Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks for the comments, it's greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, my JOYO wireless has stopped working. I think I got about 2 years out of it.

Thanks for watching and commenting. This amp is good for a few limited uses, but can't replace a real amp for most situations. As I stated, it's biggest plus is the ability to run on batteries, and the low price. I just saw an ad for the new 5w Spark amp last night. They do a lot more, but are also $130.00.

That's an excellent point. My little 1/4/5 demo riff in A doesn't use the E string. In other reviews I remembered to play a few low notes, but forgot this time around. Thanks for leaving a comment and reminding me to include more of the strings and fret board in my demos.

Thanks for the comment. This is just a short clip from the full video. I demonstrate it there if you are interested in sounds.

Thanks for watching and commenting. I have learned from other comments that the gain to output volume ratios matter a lot with this amp. Sounds like you don't own it anymore, and if so, you can't experiment with the settings. For me it's doing what I want. I can plug it in and play along with RUclips videos on my TV / stereo system. The kids also use it when jamming with other small battery powered amps like the one we showed. Although it's cool to be able to run it on batteries, it is limited in it's use and I wouldn't recomend it as the only amp to have for most people.

I appreciate that! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Sorry for the late response.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thnaks for watching and commenting!

Thanks for watching and commenting. So far, several people have stated that they think it is a passive radiator, but no one has yet brought up how the size of the radiator would matter. Now I'm interested in learning more about passive radiators and how they work.

@@rockoutvideography91 I took a whole course in college on building speakers of all sorts of varieties, I can recommend some material but it’s mostly textbooks! Audio Engineering Society (AES) has a lot of great resources for this sort of thing and their publications are top notch

Thanks for the recommendations on resources!

They seem identical to me. Sophia has changed to a black one and we sometimes walk off with eachothers phones. I don't notice until I "See" the difference in the look, I don't notice any difference in "Feel" Thanks for watching and commenting!

Thanks for watching and sharing your experiences. This would help me if I ever decide to add another cab. So far, for the club size gigs we are playing, the amp is more than loud enough. I think I had the volume set at 6 2 weeks ago when we played? Either way, it was going through the front of house mixer and out through the mains and wedge monitors, so it should work for me at an even larger venue.

@@rockoutvideography91 No problem, I use mine in a Sepultura tribute band so it does get pushed pretty hard with an overdrive pedal with SGT also engaged but with grit down low.

​@rosssLOL, yeah, that would require some volume! cott5357

Every amp I have is different in power and size. Although my old Fender Rumble 30 doesn't appear to have a port (Just took a quick look) I don't think it's fair to compare that small amp to any of my large amps, they are going to sound very different due to so many factors. I think the only way to test this out would be to close the port and do an A/B test. However, there is still an issue with a test like this. I would assume that every bass amp and cab in a combo amp is designed to work together. Even testing diffetent cabs with a seperate amp head is still a test of different designs. I think ported cabs are designed with the correct dimensions to sound good with ports, and non ported cabs are designed with the correct dimensions to sound good without ports. Keep in mind, these are all assumptions I'm making. I have no evidence to support this theory. It would need to be tested.

Yes, which can be especially great for dirt pedal which requires next to no power.

Thanks for commenting! I intend to test this theory out soon.

Thanks! It does help the bass sit better in the mix when we are playign live and saves me time when mixing our live recordings for our videos.

Thanks, agreed!

Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment with your experiences. This will greatly help others thinking about buying this little amp.
