Runcie Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 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.

Bass Cadet Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 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!

Jeid Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamScrooge Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Oops! Seems like you made a spelling mistake, I think you meant to say:they also have a 120w behringer amp for like 150. i have that' date=' and its perfect for propping doors open if you dont have a door wedge handy[/quote'] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodyRATM Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runcie Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Yeah I did look at the behringer stuff but it all seemed emm well, a bit shit. I was looking for a trace elliot like the one in drummonds with the 4x10s but i couldn't see them anywhere. I'm thinking bout going for a 4x10 Hartke combo for 449. Anyone played any of these? Also whats gallien-krueger stuff like. Theres a 2x10 combo for 645 on GAK and it looks pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonie Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 get in about it and try it yourself. you'll only get a real feel for the quality and the sound if you do it yourself. my personal preference is to avoid behringer and laney but the next amp i buy will most likely be an ampeg. /x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam 45 Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Sorry Woody but when we used that bass amp in Moshulu it sounded gash.I recommend Ashdown or Ampeg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
