Roland Cube

[antnee]

Hey guys,

I've been looking for a reasonably priced practice amp recently and have found is gem on eBay.

It's not weird or wonderful in all honesty. Just wanted some opinions on the amp and a sensible price!

Any advise is always appriciated!

If you can get that for sensible money, it's a belter. It's not particularly hi fi, or even bassy but a good solid tone and would cope with smaller gigs too!

What ^ he said!

More than capable of gigging at the dog and duck open mic.

Decent little combo

I used to use one of these back in the 80's.

Great little combo but nothing super special by todays standards.

This one has been painted, they originally shipped with orange leatherette (if you look at the pics carefully you can see a little bit of it showing where the paint has been scraped off).

The new ones have a lot more features and go for about £350, sensible price, given it's age and assuming it's all working and the driver is intact, certainly less than £100 I'd say.

With Overdrive and Reverb, is that not a guitar amp?

oh I used to love these, but can't be bothered to search them on ebay anymore cos of all the new ones clogging up the search results. I would like this, but too far away for me.
Good luck.

I think it is. A Cube, not a "Bass Cube".

thanks, and now I want it even more.....

I don't think the guy really knows what it is or what to do to fix it up.

If you get it, be prepared for having to actually replace the pots. If they really could be sorted with a "WD40" spray he'd have done it.
That said, use switch-cleaner not WD-40, but you know that already.

I've got a 100W Bass Cube. It's a bit "bright" for my liking, but it does the job and it's solid.
