Adam Easy Wishes Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'm looking to purchase a new amp that will meet practice room requirements, be good/big enough to tour with if need be and most importantly, be portable. I understand that by their nature, bass amps are heavy and large but I wondered if anyone had experience playing with something smaller and still getting a decent, warm tone. Any advice?

neepheid Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Cheers for the info! What are the model numbers of the RedSub/Harley Benton clones do you know? The RedSub is this one: http://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/RedSub-BT5110-500W-Bass-Amp/C61 Although they're still listing it on the site I think the delivery date of end of October (which has slipped - was end of September last I looked) is code for "we can't get it any more". The Harley Benton is/was this one: http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_ba5110c.htm As you can see it's been pulled from their product list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Oh, I should also say that the replacement Ibanez Promethean for the P5110 combo (the P3110 and the 1x15 P3115) is something of a backward step - 300W@4 ohms, head is no longer removable from the combo, less tone shaping options. I have no idea why they have committed commercial and functional suicide with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Fuck, Neepheid's redsub is the shit. I had always planned to get my hands on one, gutted to hear they're disappearing. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
