I bought one of these this morning and am watching the reviews after my purchase. I have a Joyo Bantamp for guitar already. Very pleased with it. And the Bluetooth sounds great through a big speaker.
It is almost as if I would not believe my own eyes and ears, that such a small amplifier (a loaf of bread is larger) has such a powerful and deep sound.
Ik hab gerade erst den Joyo Ma-108 Bass amp gekauft, für nur 40€ - und das kleine Ding macht richtig Ballett im Wohnzimmer. Für so ein kleines Ding, kommt echt was raus. Klar es fehlt der Bums von fetten speakers aber für das Wohnzimmer echt nur zu empfehlen.
I really enjoy your Channel. I was wondering if you could show the joyo matching cabinet. BantCab for Bass, B110, 1 x 10" speaker, 3" tweeter, speaker cabinet, 100 watts/4ohms Thanks Adam
Gregor. Thank you so much for your great reviews. Very clear, concise & interesting. Could you please tell me the brand & model of the blue bass that Frank played in the intro. Thank you in advance & keep up the good work.
Completely agree on the effects loop. I would much rather have a DI. But also, who has 4ohm cabinets? The vast majority of bass cabs are 8ohm which means you only get 25w out of this thing. Nearly a year after they released these, I cannot figure out who they're for.
I'm fairly new and I'm just trying to learn to play the bass, I'm not aiming for any band or to get on a stage it's just fun for me at home, I have on of HB's dirt cheap combos but I don' like the sound of it, so I've been using my computer, though an M2 moto and out through a couple of Adam audio 5", but I want to be able to practice without sitting in front of the computer, so I'm looking for decent bass amp and I kinda like the sound of this one, but my big nook question is, what would you pair it with?? just any cheapo 12" cab or??
The big thing that makes me not consider picking it up is that you can’t record direct off of the amp. No DI out. You might be able to use the “send” into your interface though, as long as it’s post all processing but I’m not sure
Not having a recording output is the deal breaker for me. I'm looking for a small bass amp that can go directly into an interface. Something preferably, that does not require a load box.Something with quality IRs in it. The search continues...
you can switch them off, it's just one click at the bottom of the screen (or on the top if you're watching on a phone). You might not need them, but believe me, many non-native english speakers appreciate the effort.
The "send" from the back could be sent into a di box and then into an interface. That's not too useful though, I would recommend another amp if you're after that.
Love the size the output is on the lower side. 50w is fine but at 4ohms it is going to take some work finding a compact 4ohm cab or having one custom built. would actually be cheaper to get a more powerfull head and you can use any 8ohm cab you have laying around. you can get avatar speakers to make you a cab with emenence speakers 2x10 or 1x12 for around 500 shipped to your door Looks like hartke has a 1x12 that is SWITCHABLE between 4 and 8 ohms for around $400. I would actually be interested in seeing a review in a cab like this. Looks like the largest hurdle to inexpensive compact bass rigs is finding 4ohm cabinets so you can get the full output of your head in a small package! some are out there but they are crazy expensive. Modern bass amps can handle 2ohm loads you would think 4ohm cabs would start to become the standard!
Each time you double the wattage you only gain 3db of SPL. So while the search for a 4ohm cab will indeed allow the head to output 50w, you'll gain much more volume by looking for a cabinet which is more efficient (higher sensitity rating on the drivers, more speakers with larger cone size and more Xmax.)
@@Khaospenguiny 3db of SPL is double the volume. Decibels are a logarithmic scale so every time you increase 3db you double the volume. no doubt a shitty 8 ohm cab will be better than a crap 4 ohm cab but all things being equal the 4 ohm cab would be better. Your much more likely to find a crappy 8ohm cab than a 4, 4ohm cabs are usually custom and/or high end wich was my original complaint. I don't think sensitivity is going to be a factor because the 4 ohm cab will get twice the power. you are likely not going to find a 4ohm cab that is less than a few percentage points less efficient than the 8ohm cab. My original complaint is a common complain with MOST bass amps they will advertise the maximum power but in order to get that you have to run 4ohms or sometimes even 2ohms depending on the brand. The problem with trying to run a compact rig on bass is the lack of affordable options for 4ohm cabinets. What is the point of having a lunchbox sized amp if you still need to lug around two cabs to get max output.
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET A VOICE FOR SOME OF MY IDEAS. FOR EXAMPLE I FOUND YOUR PICK HAS A LOT TO DO WITH SOUND. I USE A SLIDE AS A PICK ON GUITAR. ON BASS I HOLD MY INDEX FINGER LIKE A PICK BETWEEN THUMB AND MIDDLE FINGER. I CAN POSITION THE STRIKE TO GET SEVERAL SOUNDS.
If the Bluetooth went out, then it could be routed into P.A. and recording devices, but it’s only Bluetooth in, I’m not even sure what you would want with that? Maybe play along to songs in your phone? But I could easily live without it and would much prefer a direct out. Plus, it’s quarter inch speaker terminals only? I thought everyone had switched to Speak On by now?
i love how much STANK is involved when Frank is testing out gear.
Yes, absolutely!
Frank is nasty!
Best bassface on the market
Yasssss! It’s called Stank, you’re 100%!
Stanking Right
Just got one of these. Definitely better than I expected. I hooked it up to a Revsound 1x8" cab and it sounds very good.
Let's face it...most of us aren't here to see the gear. We're here for the inspiring Frank. Making bass playing look fun, effortless, enjoyable!
I'm fine with that :)
Love this little thing....great to see my good friend Frank "keeping it real" and respecting the pocket ! Danke Gregor...gruss aus Kalifornien :)
I bought one of these this morning and am watching the reviews after my purchase. I have a Joyo Bantamp for guitar already. Very pleased with it. And the Bluetooth sounds great through a big speaker.
Sounds amazing! So clear and groovy...awesome
Thanks, I was looking for an amp like that and have come across this one online. Was nice to actually hear
Me encantó ese mini amplificador! Lo necesito! 🤩🤩🤩
Ha, on the Stingray clip, the clanky tone sounded like Yes's 'Roundabout' - originally played on a Rickenbacker played by Chris Squire (R.I.P.).
Finally i'd saw some bassface. Frank so cool. Loved the mini amp.
I love these videos. Thank you!
It is almost as if I would not believe my own eyes and ears, that such a small amplifier (a loaf of bread is larger) has such a powerful and deep sound.
I see Frank in a video thumbnail, I click. That dude has big groove.
Thank you! your channel is awesome!
Cool little amp. Frank jams! Thanks for video :D
Thanks. Nice review.
Thanks for the video! A good look at something quite useful
That bass face tho!! Stankieee!!
That’s stingray is beautiful 😍
Good stuff! Love the T-shirt!
I love these lunch boxes!
Sounds great
Take it apart and place it on a rack. It takes the space of 3 units so you can use it as a preamp. I do that with my Joyo Zombie amp. Works a treat.
Haha Love Frank Itt! One of my favorite BTW members! Awesome riffs!

Like this channel! Please mention the cab you are using. It´s the speakers that make all the difference when it comes to the sound.
Nice vid, I like that little amp....! Thank you.......
That's a straight Purchase ! Thanks for the review :)
didn't know the bassist, but bro !!! I'll be back to listen to his grooves and feeling. He rules.
Onboard compressor! I LOVE IT! They need to make a 1000 watt version of this head!
HB already do with the Bass Block 800. Not 1000W but the difference is an inaudible 0.9dB.
Frank has the best bass face!!
Yall should have seen him in the 80's with his band THE TOUCH.
Thank you for spreading joy, dear host.
You're welcome, dear viewer 🙂
I enjoy you my brother keep up the good work. 🙏🏿

Great review I wanted to grab one of these. What's the make of that tiny bass? I wanna get one for my twin 5 yr olds. Rock on Frank!
Nice one!
Wow! I like it...
Cool video! What is that little bass in the beginning of video? Where can I get one? Thx!
Gregor. Thank you so much for your great reviews. Very clear, concise & interesting. Could you please tell me the brand & model of the blue bass that Frank played in the intro. Thank you in advance & keep up the good work.
Herr you go: ruclips.net/video/5hjNzRAP9vQ/видео.htmlsi=IZFeI4GjyRxu52l8
I wonder how 5-strg low B note wld fair on that tiny amp speaker..?
Any test on that?
cool amp. Frank seems to like it.
Hasta la vista great review, i’ll be back 👍
Came for the gear, stayed for Frank
Hi, is possible test the Hiwatt Bulldog 77 bass amp? Best regards .Hugo from Chile
Frankie, just keep pullin those car crash facials. Im all in. Keep on keeping on guy. Love your work!
😁

Awesome review. Love it !! Just curious what your favorite bass amp is ?
Glockenklang BassArt Classic
Does it have an Internal Speaker? or are you playing it through an outboard cabinet?
I'm fairly new and I'm just trying to learn to play the bass, I'm not aiming for any band or to get on a stage it's just fun for me at home, I have on of HB's dirt cheap combos but I don' like the sound of it, so I've been using my computer, though an M2 moto and out through a couple of Adam audio 5",
but I want to be able to practice without sitting in front of the computer, so I'm looking for decent bass amp and I kinda like the sound of this one, but my big nook question is, what would you pair it with?? just any cheapo 12" cab or??
can you please do a video showing the setup? like how did you record this video, did you use the bluetooth and record on your phone?
I think we used the headphones out
What's the name of the first bass in the video (blue 5 string with 2 humbuckers)?
I use a little Joyo amp to pratice on. its loud enough for me to hear it but no one else lol
Is this an amp by itself or is this a preamp that works only combined with a bass amp?
Did you use a cab for this video, if so which one?
Hi, which LS box did you use?
Can this be used well without an amp, by itself?
SO FUNKY
Best Bass Face on RUclips
Good review...you can always just mic the mini Joyo amp for recording.
What cabinet/speaker is used?
Frank needs his own T shirts with various bass faces on them???
Awesome Frank ha ha
Thanks for sharing guys
Paul 14.12 gmt Uk cheers
Working on it!
Maybe I want a green one like yours
Tell us about the upgrades on Frank's Yamaha BBG5S. It sounds great. What pickups? Preamp?
Watch this: ruclips.net/video/5hjNzRAP9vQ/видео.html
I checked it out. That's great, thanks. Those Basstec pickups are good. Frank would probably sound great even with the stock pickups.
How about the small bass guitar, how can I buy it? and how much?
it's better of roland micro cube rx?
😂 That’s cute, I don’t have a cab..can I plug that straight into acab simulation pedal?
Sounded really good. So you recorded that amp direct or from its speakers? Tx
we mic'ed a Glockenklang cab
The big thing that makes me not consider picking it up is that you can’t record direct off of the amp. No DI out. You might be able to use the “send” into your interface though, as long as it’s post all processing but I’m not sure
It is not available via Aliexpress?
Wow,it is a mean one.
Is this only a bass head or does it have a integrated speaker?
Full disclosure was provided for free?
Sounds like an Ampeg SVT on stilts!
Is it a battery powered amp?
mantab joyo buatan indonesia.
Does anyone know what kind of fretless Frank is playing? I can't see the kogo clearly.
Here’s a demo ruclips.net/video/rCgi4bycX04/видео.html

ART Passive DI box. You can put it in line with the speaker cables (just use the parallel out to the cab). I used to do that with an SVT4.
Frank!!!
what is the small bass you showed twice but did not play?
Here you go: ruclips.net/video/UVet5iQB2EI/видео.html
Nice T-Shirt.
:) basstheworldcom.creator-spring.com/listing/new-4-string-to-rule-them-all?product=389
we don't need the subtitles Gregor, your english is very good
you can switch them off, it's just one click at the bottom of the screen (or on the top if you're watching on a phone). You might not need them, but believe me, many non-native english speakers appreciate the effort.
What speaker cabinet would you recommend for this if just looking to use this as a livingroom/bedroom practice setup?
what's the smallest cabinet (with a good sound of course) that can go with it? any idea someone?
PJB C2?
love PJB stuff, too. The 4B is amazing!
Wait... U can use the send to a DI to plug into a PA?!
Of course, that’s what DI outs are for
What's the mini bass you showed as a joke?
Has anyone tried to play one of these with a drummer?
Mim segue de volta
Can this be used without a speaker?
The "send" from the back could be sent into a di box and then into an interface. That's not too useful though, I would recommend another amp if you're after that.
yes, as a headphone amp

you never mentioned what speakers you used
My Glockenklang 15“ cab
That dirty channel on that thing sounds sick!
FRANK ITT FRANK ITT FRANK ITT!!!
I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET A VOICE FOR SOME OF MY IDEAS.
FOR EXAMPLE I FOUND YOUR PICK HAS A LOT TO DO WITH SOUND.
I USE A SLIDE AS A PICK ON GUITAR.
ON BASS I HOLD MY INDEX FINGER LIKE A PICK BETWEEN THUMB AND MIDDLE FINGER.
I CAN POSITION THE STRIKE TO GET SEVERAL SOUNDS.
Serious bass face.
I would have sacrificed the Bluetooth for an XLR.
If the Bluetooth went out, then it could be routed into P.A. and recording devices, but it’s only Bluetooth in, I’m not even sure what you would want with that? Maybe play along to songs in your phone? But I could easily live without it and would much prefer a direct out. Plus, it’s quarter inch speaker terminals only?

He didn't tell whether or not that little amp had speakers with it or not.
Frank > hero
Is that an actual Rick in the back ground, or a clone..?
That’s an old Rick, a real one
I bought one, 10 watt JOYO, installed batteries, and it didn’t even work 🥴
