Inkster Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 I've been looking for a while at bass amps because I'm considering buying one as I only have a 15w just now and need something more substantial as I'm just bein drowned out by my fellow band mates. I've always wanted a head and cab rather than a combo but would consider it.Any suggestions would be greatful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acey Trixx Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 i had a laney rbg400 combo for ages (which is actually for sale 165watts pm me) which did me fine was good in band practices and is suprisgingly nice toned for a laney in my opinion. a month or so ago though because i was working full time and knew i was goingto college and would never have a decent amount of cash together again so i bought a behringer 300bxt head anda laney 410 cab but am now discovering the downside of head+cabs...they arent overly transportable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Rocker Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Unless you've got a van or big car, I'd go with a combo. I used to use a mahooosive Fender stack, but it is simply too big. My main stage rig is now a Trace Elliot 1x15 valve combo. And for the most part, your bass amp is just a stage monitor at gigs..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imprinted Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 but i think they're meaning more for practices and needing to be heard at said practice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Rocker Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 You still don't need a huge stack for practises. Rehearse at a sensible volume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rehearse at a sensible volume hehe yeah - but try getting the guitarist to turn the volume down!!and incidentally - can drummers ever do "subtle" drumming?

Acey Trixx Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 mine fits in a car in the back seats because its just a head and a cab (second cab being added when cash becomes avilable..so in about 3 years time when im done being a student lol) but for rehersals and all that jazz id just say a combo is what ya need. not that ive gigged yet but i have a few more projects in the line for my move to aberdeen so hopefully it wont be too long!
