Great little amp for pub sessions/small rooms
I got this for quite a niche use – playing acoustic bass in an unamplified folk band (squeezeboxes, whistles, violins etc), in pub function rooms and small halls.
I don’t need super clarity and massive power, just something with enough oomph to make the bass audible among all the other instruments. This amp is perfect. Great build quality, nice tone, fits in a backpack and runs off a power bank.

Good for what it is, but has it's limits
I'm a guitar tech and I thought I would try this in my atelier for testing basses I'm working on.
Although the sound that comes out of it is impressive for it's miniscule size I found that the little 5" speaker definitely has it limits.
It sounded great with a simple, 4string, passive bass at low volume levels, but as soon as I tried it with a 5-string and/or active bass the passive radiator in the back started rattling and the bass disappeared.
Great, cheap peace of kit (basically the same as the Phil Jones nano at 1/5th of the price!) for people who want something to practice with at a very low volume and like the extra options like bluetooth, usb out, etc.
If you play active basses, 5string or are looking for more volume and low-end than what a small bluetooth speaker can give you I would look at other options like a Fender Rumble f.e.
