    Great review and chops! I’ve been looking for something I can take busking with our band and found an RX today which I bought after seeing your review.
    Thanks for the rundown👍🏼🇦🇺

    i'm a well seasoned bassist and bought one of these because i no longer am a stage visitor and need to play in tight quarters (neighbors, eh) ~~this "little" thing is a MONSTER~~one thing you did not mention (unless i missed it) is that the amp also runs on 9 AA batts and comes with a shoulder strap (for all us street players)~~good for 8 +- hrs cord-free @ #8 vol level~~thx for the vid man~~thump on, eh!!

    That's a solid bit of kit and that was the best review I have seen for it. Nice one.
    I bought mine back in about 2009 and it is still going strong. The technology is amazing, and that's from someone who used to play old Vox and Marshal valve amps

    Thanks for going through all of the rhythm sounds in detail--that looks surprisingly useful for practice. I like jazz and Bossa, and good rhythms for those are right there. I found a used one at Guitar Center today and it's on its way.
    I currently use a Phil Jones Briefcase for my weekly church gig, but will be playing occasionally in an even smaller venue (classroom), so I hope that this light little amp will do the trick.

    Man, that was one great review, both this - and a recommendation by a friend out of NYC have me completely sold, and I hope to be purchasing one for myself an a few hours from now.
    I also really like that mute set up you have up by the nut, as I've been playing my 5 string and 6 string basses in what is called reciprocal fifths [Chapman Stick tuning...] and I've been trying to figure out a good mute set up, seems like you solved that for me as well.
    Again, great video... cheers !!

    Heyy should I purchase this Roland RX for bass busking? I have the Roland Mobile Cube at the moment and it has a great sound and good volume but it starts clipping on Bass at 1/4 of Max Volume. Does this amp have clean bass at higher volumes? Is it good for outside battery-powered/acoustic busking? Also does it get even louder when plugged to the mains than when running on batteries?

  • @ericbgordon1575
    @ericbgordon1575 4 роки тому +3

    If this piece were on the market back in Feb 1996 when I bought my first electric bass, it would have been my amp of choice. The way you have demoed it, it kicks!
    Out of sheer, trivial curiosity, what's the wattage?

    • @analogaudiorules1724

      I helps muffle the strings so they dont ring out when u aren't playing them. Example let's say God smiles on me and I get a bass solo. It gives more freedom to my hands to play faster and not worry about the open sings making noise
