If it's run through decent cone area then 250 watts will be more than enough for the majority of situations. Perhaps a bit bland sounding, but I think that's just a markbass thing. [/quote] Is it 250 watts at 8 or 4 ohm?

I used to use a LM2, and was extremely happy with it, but obviously want a reasonable cab to go with it, and if I got a LM2 for £250, that doesn't leave much change for a cab :/

Not fussed about weight (still the sunnie4 side of 30!). Seen the fender TV combos - they look and sound nice!

I've played a couple of ashdown rigs (mag and abm rigs) and couldn't get on with them :/ what else you got?

Right guys need some ideas... My band went on hiatus back in December as both me and the drummer needed a break (me as I had a young family and drummer had a new business). Since then I had to sell my entire rig to fund a new clutch and gearbox for my Vdub Van (which I have since swapped for a Audi). I have since replaced my Lakland with a Squier VM P 5 (which is nicer than I thought for the money!). I am now on the lookout for a reasonable gig rig for the cheap (£300-£400 max). At present got a couple of gigs booked for back end of summer, so needs to be able to compete with my old rig (markbass LM2 & 104hf). I know I can't get as good a rig as before but seeing at tech is getting better and better by the day, I need some ideas! The band is a 4 piece (2 guitars/ 1 & keys) so need to be able to sit nicely at the bottom but cut through when solo kicks in! Cheers! Joe

Bought a VM Precision V from Andy, awesome quality, quick delivery - top bloke!

If the bass plays and feels nice, its always worth upgrading the electronics, whether its a £100 bass or a £5000 bass....just my 2 cents
