Default Advice on Bass Amp? - 01-05-2008, 18:12
Yo,

I'm after a new amp i think. Currently using an Ashdown mag combo, but i think i want somethin a little bigger...and preferably in a head/cab version rather than combo.

Was considering taking out a loan over a few years for something.

I play mainly rock kinda stuff, RATM, Rush, QOTSA etc.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

It will be used with a Sansamp programmable driver, and either my 4 string stingray or my 5 string warwick corvette.

What be any ideas?

Dave

You seem to be worrying more about how heavy it's going to be. I would worry more about the tone.
