Bought from Bass Direct when I joined a band that busked. But plans did not work out, so the big advantage of running on AA batteries as well as mains was irrelevant. Apologies, it needs six batteries not four…but at least I got the size right! It’s a fabulous little amp with potential for acoustic sessions, open mics or rehearsals, not to mention outdoors. I bought it straight after seeing someone play a bass Uke through his, backing a dance team. It really put the power out there. Comes complete with a Roqsolid bag (bought separately) that makes transport a doddle. Specs/Roland blurb: Stereo power amplifiers and four newly developed 4-inch (10cm) speakers Eight COSM amps, six digital effects, and chromatic tuner built in Rhythm Guide function for practical rhythm training Stereo AUX input for CD/MP3 player, Phones/Recording out Battery driven (6 x AA, up to 11-hour continuous use), AC adaptor included Compact body with carrying strap The MICRO CUBE BASS RX’s line input lets you plug in a guitar, bass, or microphone. In addition, the stereo AUX input accepts input from an iPod®, a CD player, or musical instrument so you can blend its signal with your own. With two specially made power amps and four speakers contained in each, the RX amp produces an immersive, stereo sound that must be heard to be believed. The true stereo engine also allows bass tones that defy the size of the cabinet.

All the songs you wish Johnnie Walker would play but he never does! New and unplayed. (I have the download). Perfect Xmas present! Probably the best Seventies box set ever…Comes with illustrated book style notes.

I have an Elf as well. This is 500w if used with two 8 ohm/ one 4 ohm cabs, Elf is 200w. So it has more headroom. Feature wise theres no comparison. This is Jaguar, the Elf is Mini Cooper. The Elf has its own sound, astounding for its size; the MiniMAX can give you many variations as well. The TT boost, punch, midshift and bright buttons are all toneshaping options. Here’s an informative thread:
