Roland Review: Bass Cube 30

History:

Purchase: Bought via internet in England for £165 delivered next day. Bought because my souped-up Trace Elliot 300watt 15" combo weighs 80lbs and my back was beginning to hurt carrying it to every practice.

What I Like About This Roland Bass Cube 30: This unit is very good indeed for the price paid. It will fill a small venue with quality sounds, and is excellent for rehearsals.

What I Do NOT Like About The Roland Bass Cube 30: Would prefer it not to go silent when the line out (headphone)is used. If it worked with a line out it would make a great little stage amp for the jazzy blues type gigs I do with the line out into the PA

Roland Bass Cube 30 Quality Rating: The onboard effects, although limited in variability give a genuine extra dimension to the useful amp modelling options. The coaxial tweeter improves the top end and enhances the chorus/flanging options. Solidly made and comes with 3 year guarantee if registered. Although very compact it still weighs 28lbs!

Review Summary: I love it to death and if Roland ever reply to my enquiry about the line out problem with a favourable solution I would love it even more.

Rating of this Roland product: 5
