This little guy is a great practice amp, equipped with all the right stuff. The Crate BT15 Bass Combo has 4-band EQ for dialing in the kind of tone you want, a limiter to protect the speaker and keep the lid on your volume. If you need to be silent, there's a headphone jack, and when you need a band to jam with, the Crate BT15 has RCA CD inputs. It also has an extension speaker jack for when you want to practice loud.
