New Roland combo.

New Roland Cube 100 bass:



100watt 1x12
37 pounds

The new Cube-100 Bass is packed with a 12" 2-way high-performance speaker, a 100W amplifier, eight COSM® amp models, a 4-band EQ, Shape switch, five digital effects, and a Balanced Out jack (Pre/Post).

Nice!

 

Why so shocked? An Ampeg BA115 is $449 and the B100R is $499, an SWR WM12 new is $499. So what's the problem? If the Cube 30 is any indication, the Cube 100 will be a loud, light little amp with good built-in amp modeling, compressor, octaver, wah, and a crap-load of other good features that the above-mentioned amps can't touch.

I have a Cube 30 gu*tar combo and it is three or four times the Fender combo that I would have paid a hundred bucks less for. Simply put, the Rolands are worth the coin.

 

Yeah, as a class I find them all to be kind of pricey. For me, I need something light enough to chuck around at airports and versatile enough for practice and jamming with acoustics. At 10 lbs lighter than my SWR WM12 with all those features, it should work well for most of my needs. 'Horses for courses.'

 

I wonder if it goes to 160watt at 4 ohm with extension. Do you think Roland will come out with an extension cab?
