Comparing this to the big muff doesn't do it any justice. Sure, its based off the big muff and it can do the muff tone, but this beast is so versatile that it is more than just a muff knockoff/spinoff. Thanks to the 5 knobs on the front and the two inside the pedal, there are countless tones that can be achieved through this box! It is a guitar pedal (it sounds beautiful on guitar btw, every guitarist friend I've talked to who has had one of these has loved it) but it works really well on bass and I can't even count how many times I got recommended this pedal for bass before I went out and bought it! I feel like the two inner knobs could have been placed on the front, as that would make on-the-fly adjustments easier (although I will admit that the inner knobs are pretty forgettable once you find the sound you want, so if you're like me you'll set em and forget about em.) If you're an individual who doesn't like spending time adjusting the sound to make it perfect, this isn't for you. If you don't like really extreme distortion tones, this DEFINITELY isn't for you. However, if you're willing to try it and play with all its sounds, then you really won't be disappointed.

The actives on this bass plus the blend knob really gives this bass so many awesome tones! Honestly, if you're considering getting a jazz bass for versatility I would check this out first. It can give so many tones while still holding that unique thunderbird sound. Other than the totally versatility of tones, the neck on this bass is super slim and comfortable! The neck through body design gives this bass sustain for days. The weight is a bit heavier due to it being almost entirely mahogany, but the weight distribution is much better than the lower Epiphone models with bolt-on necks.

This bass truly does sound like a good ol' precision bass but with a low B. Once this baby is set up by a professional, it REALLY shines. Simple controls: Volume and Tone knob. Neck feels really nice and it isn't too big to my hands compared to other five strings. The maple fretboard is definitely nice. I like putting Ernie Ball Nickels on this bass (normal gauge). If you're looking for a really simple bass for a nice price, look no further!

Cabinet isn't very great sounding on its own. Deep bass tone, but no real versatility as far as tone goes. Low notes on the E and B strings get too muddy for my tastes with this cab by itself. Would not recommend as a standalone rig, but definitely pairs well with the 4x10 that Acoustic offers with it! Definitely more of a "supporter" cab to your rig. Also, the tolex peels off easy on this too similar to the 4x10. Comes with a horn that can turn on or off but can't be adjusted.

This bass cabinet is really awesome for the money! Great lows even down to the low B and super clear, punchy highs. Has a horn (which sadly isn't adjustable, but can be turned on or off). My biggest complaint is that the tolex tends to peel off very easily, although the cabinet seems to be able to take a pretty good beating. Definitely a good standalone cab or good paired with another 4x10 or 1x15.
