Joyo MA-10B Portable Bass Amp Reviews

Cheap and works well

I have played bass for several years professionally, but have never owned an amp. It's so good to play at home without headphones, even if the speaker is small, it still feels more natural.

The overdrive is meh for me, but it works. The sound overall is nice, plenty enough at home. Haven't tried the batteries yet.

I play a six string bass and a bass ukulele through it, both are handled nicely.

Aesthetically it looks great and feels solid.

Amazing little amp

Cons:

The distortion is quite bad.

Pros:

Everything else.

If you were getting this amp for the distortion, forget about it, it's not good, it's very muddy and maybe only usable in doom metal. On the other side, the tones you can get from this are quite good, deffinitely enough to practise in your bedroom, I've even giged with it, playing jazz with an acoustic guitar and singer and it was able to keep up in volume without distorting.

I think that, as far as small portable amps go, this is the best one in the market.

Nice little combo for bedroom slapping

This Portable Bass Amp is compact and lightweight. I think it looks bigger than it weighs.

It has a decent punch, the sound is surprisingly loud and clear.

I can fit it into my backpack, jump on the bike and be ready to have a cozy little jam session at my buddy's place.

Included AC adapter is an epic win.

Also, it's really cool to be able to practice after midnight thanks to headphones and AUX inputs. I really found myself still playing at 3 am.

Overall, the Joyo MA-10B Portable Bass Amp is a great option for bass players who need a compact, portable amp for practicing or jamming. Sure thing it is not powerful enough for larger gigs or performances, but no one states this. Just a cute practice combo.

I would give it 6 stars if i could

Excellent mini bass amp, i have bought two already. Great sound for a low low price. Packge arrived quickly.

Cheap, cheerful and plastic

I picked this up with a few other things as it was basically free. I cannot pretend that it sounds particularly special, but it takes batteries, weighs next to nothing and has a carry strap; it's therefore great for taking places you wouldn't take a proper amp. Massively plasticky. Slightly fun.

Lots for a low cost

This small bassamp can even play the lowest string on a 5-string Ibanez. Amazing!

sound alright, works with AAA batteries.

I have tried some portable bass amps for the street performance, and this amp is not really to perform with other instrument, but it can function alright as a practice amp.

The price is amazing, first of all.

With a bass connected to it, even though I only tested with a passive bass, just like any small bass amp, the sound gets distorted. pretty normal.

This amp is extremely light. feels almost like it can be kicked away veeeeeery far if someone walks into it. There wasn't any feeling of the amp getting rattled because of the weight during playing bass.

Great for the price.

50's retro looks, lovely colour, good sound quality but just for practice.

Perfect for home

Not so loud. Good for practice

Excellent value, everything exactly as promised - the perfect mini bass amp for practice at home or jamming with acoustic guitars.

Great Amp for the Size

Great value! This Joyo bass amp is easy to use and sounds great for the size.

I had to get an adapter to plug it in to a wall outlet here in the United States, but it also runs on batteries so I can use it anywhere.

Its small size makes this amp convenient to bring for jamming anywhere, and it has plenty of volume for practicing, even with other instruments. Plus the settings knobs provide all the sounds I need.

Great portable speaker!

I use this amp for practicing guitar not bass.

Annd because it has a little more bass the guitar clean tones sings perfectly

Yet to get my delivery

I watch some positive views about this portable combo and I decided to buy it.. Hoping everything works fine

Très bon petit ampli d'exercice

J'ai acheté cet ampli pour faire mes exercices facilement, même en déplacement. Pour le prix et cet usage, il est vraiment très bien. Le son est tout à fait plaisant, les réglages limités, mais suffisants dans mon cas. Le système de vis sur le côté permettant d'attacher une sangle est une très bonne idée mais il aurait été sympa de fournir la sangle avec. J'en ai pris deux exemplaires. Le 2e est pour mon fils, pour jouer de son instrument tranquillement dans sa chambre. Un seul gros défaut, la qualité de l'alimentation : gros "humm" de 50Hz dès qu'elle est branché. Du coup, je ne l'utilise que sur pile ce qui est dommage... Mais pour le prix, cela reste un petit ampli d'appoint très sympa.

Excellent little amp for its money

It's obviously not a bass amp that will blow you away, but it is a nice little amp that does the work when you want to practice without disturbing the neighbors. It worked well with a bass uke, a bass guitar and an electric guitar. It does the job and it is much better than other products in the same price range that I have tested in the past.

Amazing amplifier for rehearsing at low volume

For my need (only practise some bass lines; I'm not a bassis) is enough. I can really play some bass lines without need a huge and expensive amplifier.

Handles low frequencies surprisingly well

So, I was pleasantly surprised. At medium volume, this thing can handle my Low 0.160 bass string, which starts from A0, then goes down to E0 (with a Hipshot). I mean…this is a practice amp, and you don’t have to crank it, right?

Also — it’s a very acceptable speaker, for that little money.

And the off-white looks classy. I do recommend it, because of all the above.

Very good product

Good tone, good plastic quality, good range of possible tones, you can carry it around shoulder, even has a built-in drive! I use it with tone splitter to have a little battery amp while I play and sing through it, and it is very good addition for simple street playing, without any additional equipment. It is very loud (for practice amp, it can compete with 10w guitar amp!), but little distorted after passing 8 on master. It is very lightweight. This is not a toy, you Must have it!

Perfect but on VERY low volume

I bought this for low volume practice in a quiet apartment.

it works great but only up to 1/4 of the volume (9 o'clock),

immediately after that, every low note farts out, even on 4-string basses,

which means that if a truck goes by and the amp isn't 1m away from your ears, you won't hear what you're playing.

On the upside, the aux in rarely farts out, the overdrive is a parallel one, so you don't lose clarity and I was surprised about how low the amp's self-noise is (especially for 40€)

That being said, I would recommend it only for late night, very low volume use and definitely not with deep sounding basses.

Very satisfied

Unbelievably light and tiny, super easy to transport, yet it delivers a surprising amount of volume with a tone that's not completely horrible.

This thing will not make your bass sound better, but it will allow you to jam with an electric guitar (at reasonable volumes), and to enjoy your practice time. I would not change anything, outstanding product.
