This little amp is awesome!!

by Chuck Snider from Roxboro, NC USA
May 5, 2008
Music Background: Hobbyist
I had been using a GK Micro amp for my bass, as I only use it to jam with some friends, and wanted something a little lighter and a little more versatile. The Roland Micro Cube Bass RX filled the bill... read more [+] plus more!!! It is nearly half the weight at around 15 pounds, and provides way more in the area of versatility with all the amp modeling and effects. It does not have nearly the kick as my GK amp, but then again I am not playing out with it. It works just fine as a practice amp for jamming with friends. However, I have to believe you could play out and use the line out or just mic the little guy into a PA system. For what it has to offer it is well worth the money!! Well worth the long wait to get one of my own! Hopefully Roland will make more of them faster so other folks won't need to wait too long for them. I'm not usually one to get the first version of anything, in this case I was excited when I read about them and even more excited once I got my own and was able to use it. So far, I can't come up with anything about it that I don't like. For a practice amp, or one you can use in a home or backstage surrounding, I can't think someone would be disappointed with anything it offers. close [-]

Mico Cube Bass RX, The freedom amp

by Donald S. King from Denver, CO USA
July 7, 2008
Music Background: Hobbyist
I normally don't right any reviews for anything I purchase. However this is the exception to the rule. I’ve been playing bass for approximately six years now and strictly for fun. The one draw back... read more [+] for me has been whenever someone would ask to get together and jam, if they couldn’t come to my house; I would often decline the invitation, just because of the hassle of moving my amplifier (just to much effort on my part). Now that I own the Mico Cube Bass RX going somewhere else to play is not an issue.

The Mico Cube is a very good practice amp, well constructed with decent volume and tonal range, the built in tuner, bass effects and drum machine are great features. I also enjoy the ability to connect a CD or mp3 player to the amp, making it easy to play along with the songs I practice along with at home.

It’s hard to believe so much sound can come from such a small package powered by 6 AA batteries, but it does. My girl and I went on a small outing in Colorado Spring CO, we setup by small creek in a park and several people walking by were amazed at the sound and wondered how I was powering the amp in the middle of nowhere.

My only real complaint is with the drum machine and I realize this is Roland’s first pass at this, but it would be nice if the beat variations could be dialed in, instead of the tap method being employed; it’s kind of hard to obtain the beat you want and then to repeat it after the setting have been changed.

Can this amp compete with the larger AC powered amps? No. None the less this is a lightweight, sound packed wonder. We bass players have a freedom we have never enjoyed before. I suggest anyone looking for freedom to play anywhere, buy one and fly away. close [-]

Not as small as I thought it would be.

I bought this to bring a Kala U-bass up to a normal acoustic level. Perfect combo. The sound is better than you think. Good valume level; higher than you'd expect from the wattage. Although it is ... read more [+]compact, it wasn't quiet as small as I thought it would be. close [-]

Surprise, Surprise

It's here now. A bass amp that runs on batteries and AC. I was in New Orleans
I ran across of friend of mine playing. Forget that I had not seen him in a few years. You know what he said? "... read more [+] Hey Mannn! Where ya been? Look at what I got." Forget all the other crap like recession, Hurricanes and other stuff. He was talking about his Roland battery operated amp. He went on and on about the battery life and how he could charge two sets of batteries and play for 3.5 to 4 days with no problem. He demonstrated the rhythms and played a song with it. I asked him if they had a bass amp like and he did'ntknow, So, I went to the music store expecting to told that it would cost about $500-750, instead it was $210.00. I bought it immediately. Update. I now go down to New Orleans and play with some of my friends and others on the street, when they are not making any money. We play together and let the one in most need keep, say the first 50.00, and then we split up again. It really helps them.
Oh yeah back to the amp. The Roland Micro Cube Bass RX. Get one and you will not regret it. You have to learn how to make sure the effects are off when you want them off. It has several.(Wah , flange, reverb, etc.)and a tuner.
You won't regret buying one. I did'nt mention all the features so you'll be that much more surprised when you get one. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Carson McClain
Technology is our friend and this amp proves it. I am just wondering if there is anything this can not do! The amp models sound great as do the FX, you can plug in an MP3 player to jam with, and you can even use the internal beats to practice your playing speed. A great amp for the apartment, or for the beginner.

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
