Carvin PB100 15 amp

Found a guy on craigslist that lives close to me selling this for $100. Ive been looking for something that has a decent amount of power and is light for when i go to my friends house to **** around with some music. This would seem to meet my needs, but before i waste my time and gas to go look at it. I wanted to see if anyone has heard/played/owned one of these.
Thanks
 
Ive read user reviews on harmony central. it seems to have some good reviews, better than my current Peavey tko75. Just wanted to see if anyone had personally used it. 100 bucks for a light 100watt amp is pretty good, especially if i talk him down to $75. :ninja:
 
Had one and sold it. It is fine for practice and goofing around, way too under powered for gigging. Carvin watts ain't real watts, for some reason. And I'm no Carvin hater, I have two of their basses. Still for a hundred bucks, if it works, what have you got to lose?

Mine is a PB200, total 160 W bridged into the 15, also has a tweet with an attenuator knob. It has plenty of power for a rehearsal with an un-mic'd rock drummer. Can't really comment on the oomph level of the PB100... but the mid-shift is a nice feature to have. For $100 I'd say that's a nice deal.
