Default Bass amp help.
Hello, I'm a guitarist playing bass in a band at the mo and I'll be needing to buy a bass amp soon. Only problem is i know nothing bout bass amps at all. Anyone recommend anything for like £500 - £600. I thought the fender ones look pretty cool but i dunno.
Cheers.

T'is true - you don't need to spend £600! I've got a Torque 200W combo that cost me half that (although Torque have gone bust now) and it does me a treat. You can also take it on the bus which is a good feature!

I think by the time the guy has £500-£600 to spend on a bass amp... he wants something that he won't have to upgrade in a year or so cos it ain't what he wants.

ive used it for a show in moshulu, and it was fine for that. 650 person venue and all that. . . onstage volume was fine also. so i cant see your problems.
since im full blown skint it seemed like a decent amp to buy.

but in response to the topic, you may also fancy lookin at ashdown or ampeg. generally more expensive tho

Ever wondered what that silver box you plugged in to was?
