Surprisingly lightweight
Got this bass combo for rehearsals and I was totally taken away by how lightweight this unit is - makes you wonder if it is empty inside! Sound is great and provides loads of variations. Only downside is that, although this is a 100W amp, it was maxed out in the bigger rehearsal rooms and still didn't feel very loud. (And our band is not very loud)

Light ,nice sounding amp!
I mostly bought this amp for the weight (only 10kg!) .Super light and not expensive!
It sounds ok ,well I mean very good and very tweakable but it's not very loud.
The overdrive is nice but I'd love a foot-switch bundled. I personally like the vintage switch, nice mid-low harmonics a bit compressed but it's matter of taste!
If you are facing into a loud-beast drummer this amp certainly will not follow up.
With right placement and some high-mid eq boosting it might keep up but will not rumble the floor!Also when playing really loud the amp "farts" so be prepared to cut some low frequencies...
Worth mentioning that the amp is also usable for guitar and since it plays nice from low volumes I love it!
Maybe I am unlucky ,but mine had some flaws such as the power cable socket was "buzzing" and the master volume control was "scratching".
I don't worry much ,since I am on 3 years warranty but even made in China it's a Fender and I expect descent quality.
To summarize:
If you want a loud bass amp check the 200W model. Else for the money,sound and being so portable buy it!

I bought this amp mainly because I needed a light amp for practice and small gigs. Since then this amp has excelled. Not only it sounds really good, it is super easy to carry and it also looks really cool.
The drive is a nice to have, and with a footswitch, it becomes an extra effect for my solo gigs.
Speaking of solo gigs, it also has an effect loop, ideal for when I need to bring my pedalboard.
On the downside, it's not very loud and will sound crunchy when pushed, so do not expect it to perform 100% on you punk rock gig.
All in all, a very nice amp for the price.

very versatile amp
I'm really liking this amp, its a transistor amp so you can get a decent sound even at a manageable low volume. I haven't tried going very loud since it gets plenty loud if you have neighbours.
it takes pedals like a champ, the direct out is a winner for going direct with the line out to the mixing board or even recording at home.
If you dial back the bass eq a bit you can even play guitar though it. I recorded even some with the line out and added a cab sim in my daw, and guess what it sounds phat but still clear.
All in all this thing is a real jack of all trades, go for it!

Not strong enough
It's strong enough for home practice. Definitely not strong enough for even a small venue if you are in a rock band. You'll need to drive it through same further amplification for that. The sound quality is really great though. It's also very light and easy to carry.

Great small gig and practise amp
While not loud enough for a proper gig with loud guitars and heavy hitting drummers, its defo good enough for small gigs (cafes, intimate concerts) and practise as well as studio work. It sounds stellar and provides great sound and you can dial it in as you please. It does have that fender sound, and is impressive and with adequate headroom!

Great amp for the money
As I looked for something that is good for practicing, but can also work for band practice and small gigs, I can say I got what I wanted and expected. Light, functional, good sounding amp for the money.

It sounds great and has a lot of tonal options to shape the sound I want. Loud enough to shake the windows even at low master volume but haven't tested nowhere near full volume yet. With FX loop and XLR out (+ ground lift) it has all the core features I need and is really very lightweight.
The only issue I had with my combo, is that the four legs are not well leveled and thus it doesn't sit sturdily on the floor. Probably a QC thing on mine that doesn't affect the rest of the amp of course.
Overal I am happy with this.
