Old Gold Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I really dig the look of this, but I don't know if it would be much use for anything other than looking rad in the living room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Cocker Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Ashdown make some magic amps. Big range, braw, not too dear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I got a bass that I am in love with.Now I am considering a bass amp, as I guess playing through my guitar rig is not ideal. Small/medium bass amp recommendations please? And as an aside question, are small amps any use for gigging, if required?What did you get?What's the amp budget?Neepheid has one of these and it's awesome. Great wee practise amp, but it'll also hold it's own in the practise room or you can slip the head our (HURR HURR) and plug it into a house 4x10 and use it live, too. And it sounds BRAW.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame there isn't the same trend for vintage stylings on cheaper bass amps as there is with guitar equivalents. I'm mad for that shit.I'm fairly awful with budgets. For example, I ended up scrapping my bass budget and getting a very cool Mex Standard Jazz:I fear I'll end up having the electricity cut off or something if I'm as frivolous with a bass amp though.

Adam Easy Wishes Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I really dig the look of this, but I don't know if it would be much use for anything other than looking rad in the living room.I've played through one a couple of times and both times was pleasantly surprised as to just how full the tone actually was. Thinking of getting this to replace my current set up from a packing-into-a-car point of view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm mad for that shit.It's a bit "industrial" looking, I'll grant you that, but I've never been bothered about how amps/cabs look. I only care about how they sound, with a side consideration of how (physically) heavy they are - hey, I'm not getting any younger If I was bothered about looks I might have got this:Instead of its regular, carpet covered predecessor:Same inside, different outside. Got the old, boring looking one for a great price. I don't care that it's boring looking, it's light and it's loud. And those open handles are pure genius, don't know why they stopped using those - same grip regardless of whether it's upright, or on its back when loading into the car.

Old Gold Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I have similar open handles on my guitar head. They make it a dream to lug about.Giving serious consideration to the 500 watt Orange Bass Terror. Another bank breaker, but sounds like they've got pretty good Orangey Matampy tone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Oh fuck man I want one of those so hard. Same pre section as an AD200 but a quarter of the price since it has a solid state power section. Total bargain. Get one second hand for around £300 if you shop around on Basschat.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Country Thang Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I bought a Vintage V4MTB and couldn't be happier with it. http://www.kennysmusic.co.uk/vintage-v4mtb-tony-butler-signature-bass.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
