This is the smallest bass amplifier available under the Harley Benton brand. The current price is around 68€, but I have had this amp now for around 8 years, as it was part of a pack that came with my first bass (HBB400TBK).
The amp is a small 20W combo, with an 8" speaker and 4 band EQ. It has 2 inputs, which work simultaneously, I have used the to jam at very low levels with a guitar and bass, and also to plug in an external source (although the quality is not great).
We can't expect much from a 20W combo, but it served as my practice amp for years, it ended up retiring into storage when I purchased a GK MB112 combo, which is obviously in another league.
The sound, as long the combo is not pushed too much, is pretty clean, and the 4 band EQ lets you tweek until you find a sound you like. In my experience, cutting some lows and boosting the low and hi mids helped keep a clean tone with more volume.
I wouldn't recommend this as an amp for someone who wants to jam along with others, but as a bedroom practice amp it will serve its purpose for not a lot of money. I am thinking of getting it out of storage and running it on battery power to use with my acoustic basses (for campfire and beach jams etc.)
