Yes, the little XD is a tube unit (15 watts, I think), with a digital effects mechanism. It's GREAT for my little dining room jobs with a jazz guitar.

The JazzKats are really nice, but not for group work....sounds too clean, even with a tube pre-amp.

When I needed to replace the old 64 Jazz Bass I played for years (thought I'd ruin the value), I looked high and low, and bought...you guesed it, ANOTHER Jazz bass.

Sometimes, you don't mess with what works.

I'd get another Fender and just keep on ROCKIN!
