I've been searching for a good practice amp for a while since my Hotone Bass Thunder mini head started malfunctioning.
Recently, I discovered the Joyo MA-10B amp and it seemed to have all the stuff that I needed: simple, portable, small, with headphone out and auxiliar in, the ability to run on batteries and pretty cheap.
So I ordered one and it has finally arrived. And let me say that it sounds pretty good for such a cheap and small amp.
Not the loudest of the amps but my purpose was simply to have a nice practice amp that I could set on my desk and play along. It has a limited tone control but it's pretty transparent to the bass tone which I particularly like.
And the best part is that I can take it with me anywhere if I want to just to go out and play.
I'm really glad I got this little thing.

I've been eyeing this Amp as well. I've been on the hunt for something similar for a few months. There is a Eden Micro Tour for sale locally that I've been considering, but I think this Joyo will be a bit better. Just not a lot of info out there yet. I really don't think there is anything quality that fits this category. I have a Roland Mirco RX, but its still too large for the portability that I want. I think it would be really cool if you could get a JBL bluetooth speaker to work somehow. That would be ideal. I look forward to hearing your thoughts after you put some miles on the Joyo.

I bought this and returned it immediately. There are much better options out there. Even in a closed small room with my buddy playing acoustic, I could not hear myself with the speaker a few feet away maxed out. And for the same price, if I wanted to practice silent I would just get a used Korg Pandora that also has a drum machine, effects, etc.

Might I suggest this?

Alesis TransActive Wireless | Reverb

$60. Rechargeable instead of buying batteries. Instrument input. 8 inch speaker that can be heard over acoustic guitar. Bluetooth, etc...Sooooo much better. I know because I've owned both. I'd return it.

I understand what you say but since I was simply looking for an amp to practice and this one is simple, cheap and small, it really checked all my boxes.
That Alesis seems to be a nice amp but it costs over 200 euros new and its really bigger than I was looking for.
