Hey bass troops, Has anyone got their hands on one of these? My local music store website says they're coming around January, which is now. It does look interesting. Ashdown say it won't rip my head off but it will be good enough for small gigs. A 30 watt bass amp? Is this an overestimation I wonder? It does pack in 4 valves which my ears do prick up at. Anyone who does have one I'd be interested in what the verdict is... Josh

I was looking along the lines of Orange Bass Tiny Terror and one of their cabs. Definately portable enough but it is pushing onto a £1k [quote name='yorick' post='683697' date='Dec 14 2009, 09:09 AM']dpending on your budget, have a look at the new Orange bass Terror head and one of their SP210 cabs. Compact and more versatile than a combo.[/quote]

Boss TU-2. Gigged for about 5 years. Its scratched, its battered and it still works spot on.

It looks like vomit from a rainbow.

I do remember my fellow 6 stringed guitarist saying the looper was a bit difficult to nail.

Yo Josh. First of all - great name My guitarist has an MM w/ Hazari. He had to buy one when his delxue broke and sent it off to the legend John Chambers in nottingham to get it fixed. It's a great pedal for a guitarist, not sure what it would be like for a bassist. There was a slight drop in signal quality tbf but it's pretty good. You can get some many different types of delays, reverbs and a loop facility as well. The great thing is you can save all your presets, which is great if you use different types of delays/reverbs for diff songs. The Memory Boy - thats new on the scene so Im not sure about that. It's pretty cheap and specs look pretty good! I'd be pretty interested in hearing what this sounds like.

So anybody got any views, just any info would be great! Cheers, Josh[/quote]

Actually - just read some of those reviews on harmony central. Yup - I wont be buying an ampeg combo anytime soon then! Im actually getting quite tempted at an Orange bass Tiny Terror and either 115 cab or a 210. It's not a combo, but seems not bad for the buck! With it having a digital power section, is that a bad thing or a good thing I wonder? [quote name='Joshbasscana' post='663042' date='Nov 23 2009, 07:07 PM']I saw the review for the Ampeg BA600 210 in some bass mag recently. It said it was pretty good - but you gotta dig the ampeg tone or it aint for you. Not sure about the 115.[/quote]

[quote name='chris_b' post='663027' date='Nov 23 2009, 06:50 PM']I don't think the Ampeg BA600 with either the 210 or 115 has had very good reviews.[/quote]

I think I would sell my Warwick head and put to it...so maybe £600/£700? Not sure yet. [quote name='sk8' post='662943' date='Nov 23 2009, 05:31 PM']Shuttle 6.0-210T Combo? whats your budget?[/quote]

Hey troops, I'm in the market for a bass combo for some gigs with my band. Im currently lugging around a Warwick 5.1 Tubepath Head and 410 Cab. Ive been thinking about downscaling recently to maybe a 2x10 Bass combo i.e. Ampeg Ba600, Ashdown Klystron C210 We've been writing stuff recently which is crying out for a bit more grit, so that's something Im looking for. The warwick is a brilliant clean amp, but I need something a bit naughtier - without breaking the law of course. And something slightly more portable. Is there a combo amp out there which really does deliver on volume, superb tone and, to an extent, portablility? Would appreciate your input and advice. Cheers guys, Josh

[quote name='The Funk' post='603317' date='Sep 20 2009, 06:00 AM']No, it's not. I have one and even though I do like it, it doesn't give me the Ampeg sound that [i]I'm[/i] after. For that, I think an Ampeg SVP-CL or SVP-Pro preamp would be ideal. The DI has only one valve and no kind of overdrive. It gives a nice, round, warm, clean sound - not the cranked Ampeg sound.[/quote] Thanks for your input chaps. I think I will get one eventually, hopefully grab 1 second hand at a good price!

Hey, Just looking at people's opinions of the Ampeg SVT-DI. Interested to know if it can truly re-create the classic full rounded ampeg tone. I'm generally quite interested to know how ampeg make the tone like they do. Is it because of the amount of preamp valves and power amp valves? Circuitry? It's a shame it's discontinued - I would be interested in getting one in the nearby future! Saw one on ebay go recently at £170. Not bad! Anyway, let me your thoughts. Cheers! Josh
