A buddy presented me with a little gift the other day(what a guy). He handed me a box with a brand new little 5 watt Roland bass amp in it.
This thing is really a gas
It has 4 4" speakers and it runs on AC power or 6 AA batteries, all the electronics that all their big amps have including B-15, SVT ,Bassman , Acoustic 360 and a few other sounds. It has a gain , 3 band EQ, flanger, Twah, reverb and a drum machine /metronome with about a million settings.
Most of this stuff I'll never use, but it sure is neat.
The big thing is the sound, It is suprisingly strong for a 5 watt amp and the tone is absolutely great. I never had a little baby amp like this and I'm really getting a kick out of it
. I love it with my Olympia ABG. Plenty of juice to cut through a half dozen unplugged acoustic guitars , harmonica and a percussion toy or two. It makes for a nice practice amp with my P basses too, but it is a really sweet acomplice for an electric/acoustic bass.
I played around with the line out, using the Roland pre amp and running through a 400 watt amp and then I tried it through the PA too. Very Nice.
Anyone in the market for a micro sized amp should give one of these things a good look
