Crate Review: MXB50

Crate Bass Guitar Amplifiers

History:

Purchase: i needed a new amp because i was playing on a practice amp... so i went to guitar center and got this amp for my birthday, it cost 180.

What I Like About This Crate MXB50: i like the unit overall. It is heavy and big but its also durable. it has dual inputs, gain, shape, 4 band eq, master volume, and headphone and speaker jacks. i think that the sound i wanted is portrayed by this amp perfectly. it has a warmth to it which is from the shape function, and the eq really makes the difference. and its loud... trust me 50 watts gets you far here. (on volume 5 basement was shaking) it has a side handle for carrying easier. if you are undecided whether to buy this amp or not, id say go for it. its really an awesome amp.

What I Do NOT Like About The Crate MXB50: nothing.... it really is a great amp..... or nothing so far anyway

Crate MXB50 Quality Rating: built like a tank, this think has to be able to take hits and act like it was nothing. the tolex is a great finish and keeps it protected.

Review Summary: awesome amp... go for it its really worth it . i trust crate and this is an example of that. i would buy this amp over a thousdand times.

Rating of this Crate product: 5

Crate VC3112 - This amp is a very versatile amp that can be a main amp for gigging and rehearsing. It takes a little tweaking to get the right sounds out of it but once you get set up you'll like what you hear. I can't believe Crate made this amp but they did and d...

Crate MX-65R - Well, if i was to buy an amp again, it wouldn't be this one. This amp is a medium amp making unrealistic claims of being soft and trying to play with the big boys with loudness. it does neither one of those. but, i guess it's just not what i need; ma...

Crate BT100 - A good amp for someone on a budget, still trying to do no more than play in the bedroom....
