[quote name='lemmywinks' post='1209548' date='Apr 23 2011, 08:40 PM']The LMIIs are around £350 2nd hand on here - a total no brainer for that sort of money. There's one here in a custom made case for that amount: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=133151"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=133151[/url] I actually quite like my Superfly, however they were plagued with problems and faults like you said. Mine is still going strong and gets used every day so i reckon i've got a survivor, they'll be rare and valuable one day because so many let out the magic smoke!. They work best with 2 sensitive cabs but i get practice volume out of mine with a little 8ohm EA cab as shown in the first post. Also the volume pot needs cranking as it's linear, not like a lot of amps which are at full volume on 2 or 3! As they usually go for around £100 on here and the last few i've seen on eBay have gone for £10-£20 more than that they are still a good option IMO, you just need to be aware of what they can and can't do and what cabs they work with. One thing i wanted to try was wiring an 8ohm Ashdown 4x8 cab up to 2 Speakons, utilising the full output of the Superfly with a very compact cab, i reckon that would be enough volume.[/quote] i had the Superfly matching 2x8 & 1x15 and it was still not powerfull enough. I'm in several live situations at the moment, and it probably would have been ok for the jazz stuff, but definatly not loud enough for the blues outfit. Still to much to carry about for the jazz venues. Love a small powerful combo that would do it all!!

hey everyone - interesting thread! I'm on a quest myself for a mini rig. something small and portable and really reaLLY LOUD!!! something that wont break the bank too - if that's at all possible. I had an Ashdown Superfly which boasted 500 watts (2x250 into 4ohms) small - noisy - and far from the volume expected from 500 watts. Never loud enough for a proper gig. My present rig is a Peavey 2x10 rated at 300 watts with a Peavey 250watt MKIII amp I bought new back in the 80's. its f'cking loud and beautiful, and I've yet to find anything old or modern that has the same rating that can match the quality of sound or volume. Having said that, the amp is almost as big as the cab, and as heavy....hahaha!....shame that!! reviews tell me the the little giant range, like the Superfly don't really cut it, and from what I can tell, the Markbass needs a mortgage to be able to buy one. Are they that good?? what else is out there?? I have to know!! Anyone got a list of recommended mini stuff? After the Ashdown Superfly experience I'm gonna be very cynical . (BTW, Peavey's are not popular, as, for instance the old Trace gear, but it blows it out of the water - I recommend the USA made Peavey stuff if weight isn't an issue - they are insanely cheap on the S/H market. Had mine serviced only once during its 30 years, and its still blasting it out - wish I could find a mini version of it!!)

slick or not,there's something special about an expensive sounding note when it didn't cost an arm & a leg! its a poke in the eye to the big boys 'mark up'!
