    Ugh. I was looking something up and ended up at sweetwater. There I saw a link to their "bass amp buying guide." Intrigued, I clicked. And was pretty horrified by what I found.

    First, they seem to give a lot more love to combo amps than TB (a community of actual players) do. Then they reinforce the 410 atop a 15 idea.

    I guess this was written by their marketing department, as it is a public-facing web page. But, seriously? Could they not have tried a little harder to be legit?

    See for yourself:
