- I don't usually do many videos like this talking about a product for the entirety of a video, but this one has really shocked me on the size and how it has changed my life for the better.
The Spark Mini by Positive Grid really transformed my mind about how powerful small bass amps can be and still have a punch! The Spark Mini just released a couple of months ago so go check it out in the link below.

Look great.
Great tutorial vid bro!
Thanks for that!
Hey bro great to see you doing stuff and getting sponsorships. Miss playing with you.. Be blessed
Sam! Miss you man! Long time no see, hit me up on IG, would love to catch up.
What a cool little amp
I love the Mini for acoustic guitar, dobro, and lap steel guitar in a jam, even a large acoustic jam. I went online and set it up the way I wanted for acoustic and clean jazz. For those, I can play with the volume all the way up. For a Ubass, I can only turn it up half way with distorting the speaker, which makes it about 90 decibels, or a little more. About as loud as a loud banjo. Fine for a small acoustic jam. Maybe not for a big one, alas. I also have a Positive Grid Spark, and while that is louder, it still makes the speakers rumble over halfway up.
How is the bass response? Are able to actually feel it on your desk? :D Thanks for the review
One charge! Wow!
Are you related to Doyle? Thank you, for the review.
Get a Ukabass, that would be a fun review! 😎
Yes that would be dope!
Do they make a custom cover?
How is it studio wise
Travis, what does "cut up" mean? Thanks for your videos!
It's a southern thing. Instead of 'turn off' and 'turn on' they say 'cut off' and 'cut on' I've never heard it used like 'cut up' but he just means 'turn up'
I clicked on their link on your YT page, and after reading some reviews it seem as if some people are having problems getting their delivered to them. Positive Grid blamed it Worldwide supply chain issues, which could be true so I think I will wait on ordering one until said issues are resolved.
I ordered one on the day pre orders were available and I’m still waiting. Mine should be coming the first 10 days or so of June. But this happened last time with the Spark 40. I ordered in January and got it in July…. Pretty sure positive grid should have learned how to throttle sales vs production rate. But no this is the second time around and same old story, same old situation. Tis a shame
@@jacobbrinks3196 That's good to know JB . With that being said I think I will hold off buying one .
@@dreamshakejunya wow....thats too long to wait for me .
They blame their inability to meet their pre-orders on all kinds of things. If the spark (not mini) is any indication you should wait till they give you a firm shipping date at checkout if you're not ready to wait a few extra months for fulfillment.
I ordered one from them directly and got it today, just over a week later. However, on my account page, it’s showing that the order is still being processed so even though orders are being filled quickly, it seems their order department is still behind in other areas.
Can’t you put it through the PA with an aux cable for rehearsal, possibly?
Yes. In theory, you can! I haven’t tried it, but if you get a chance try it, let me know how it works out!
Can you make review on spark go?
Does it come with charging chord
Too bad they don't care about their customers when they have issues... They delete well earned criticism.. The hardware, I will never touch.... I have actual spent time reading the REAL issues in the forums... Any company that attacks and censors their customers speech about PG's failures, is a criminal organization..
Can you use the mini without a phone app . THX
Yes you can. You need your phone to set it up and then you can store up to 4 presets that you can use without your phone !
Can this amp be used for a Guitar?
Honestly, it’s more built for guitar than Bass. Most of the features of this amp is more directed for the guitar.
@@TravisDykes ok thank you for the information man
It’s for the guitar
Hey Travis - how does the Spark Mini handle the low B on a 5/6 string bass? Thinking of getting one of these as a slightly more portable alternative to my Phil Jones Double Four (which handles the low B magnificently!)
Low Bb dog 👌
It works well with my B string. I do get a little nervous, using the that low of B when the volume of the amp is loud, just because of how small the speaker is. But using it at normal volumes it works great! Hope that helps!

Is it battery powered?
Yes. Internal battery, usb c charging
I got a mini and I'm disappointed that the bass sounds don't really impress me and it's not loud enough to use when jamming with acoustic guitar players. I'll be looking for a better solution. (It's quite good for the guitar, but the bass... not so much.)
It's 10 watts with a tiny speaker I would never expect an amp this tiny to be loud enough to play with others. If it was loud enough to play with others there would be so many videos out talking about how there is so much sound from such a small speaker.
Just mic the bass mini amp if you really need more volume in a pinch...
That's a bit of a niche scenario, isn't it? Why would someone who needed more volume have a PA system and mic, but no DI?
@@robertp457 yep... agree
All cool, but please tell me that this is sponsored by product makers before you tell me how great it is (I have some trust issues right now)
He says it's sponsored by Positive Grid at the very beginning, 0.00. Maybe watch the entire video next time?
@@amkaplan say it in more passive aggressive way again, please - didn't quite catch your personality yet
Why didn't you play a bass through it?
🤨@3:06?
He did
A big price jump of $35 in a year!
It's disappointing that it built with lithium battery not with normal battery so the battery will die 4 or 5 years or maybe before if u using it much this id bullshit it's a amp not a computer or a phone this is a strategy of taking our money over and over i have a vox mini with normal battery since 8 years and still good of it's will be with lithium battery u know the end 😉👍🏻
you are talking iPhone so many times that it seems it doesn't support android devices lol,,,,, improve your knowledge depth
The android app works fine.
Bro can you tell me how gonna charge the spark mini and what kind of charger and where can I charge ??
USB-C. Like you'd charge most phones. Can also use any power bank
