    Good Points: So small and portable and light weight.
    Great sound, so pure and colourless.
    So so versatile; have used it with double bass, electric bass, microphones, acoustic guitar, mandolin, keyboards, and each result sounds fantastic.
    Can add a matching extension cab - this increases volume output however i've not tried one.


    Bad Points: Wont cut it for electric bass rock type gigs.
    Also is rather expensive, however given its versatility and how good it is, it's worth the money.


    General comments: This tiny Acoustic Image Contra (series III) amp is primarily designed for double bass, but this amp can be used for any instrument as it has a full frequency range, from 30Hz to 20KHz.
    It is designed to be as pure as possible and not colour the sound at all, as with double bass you want your bass just to be louder, and not at all sound like you're using an amp.
    Has some good features: a duel input socket which can take either jack or XLR, phantom power, nice transparent EQ, low frq cut off/ notch filter, FX loop, switchable tweeter.
    The amp is tiny, about 1ft square, and only weighs 20lbs, but is 400W so plenty loud enough for a lot of situations. You may wonder how such a small amp can give such low frequencies; it has 3 speakers: a 1inch tweeter, 5 inch midrange, and a 10inch downward facing woofer.
