Pros:	Nice sound, compressor is a brilliant addition!
Cons:	Not many, but can be bass-heavy at times

My old 35W combo was getting a bit tired, so I bought this from my old bass teacher. I\'ve been using it on-and-off for the past two years, which is why I wanted it!

It\'s a real shame about Gibson taking over the Trace production and scrapping the amps. The build quality on this beast is amazing.

Now onto the amp itself. The compress built into the 715 pre-amp is a real gem. I can really notice the difference.

The 7-band graphic EQ and pre/post-EQ Direct out switch make this amp a very good buy (if you can find one that is).
