I want a practice amp I can turn up for a jam but still use for home practice.

I don't want any sound FX just a soft warm tone.

Nothing too big and heavy.

These are some I've looked at:

1 Behringer BXL 1800 £156
2 Behringer BXL 1800A £179
3 Behringer BXL 3000 £188
4 Behringer BXL 3000A £194
5 Behringer BXL 900 £114
6 Behringer BXL 900A £132
7 Behringer BXL 450 £92
8 Behringer BXL 450A £104
9 Fender Rumble 60 £176
10 Gallien-Krueger Backline 110 £195
11 Gallien-Krueger Backline 112 £199
12 Hartke A100 £279
13 Hartke A35 £139
14 Hartke A70 £209
15 Hartke Kickback 12 £275
16 Hughes & Kettner BK 100 £259
17 Laney RB-3 £138
18 Laney RB-4 £194
19 Laney RB-5 £192
20 Laney RB-6 £228
21 Line 6 Lowdown LD150 £261
22 Line 6 Lowdown Studio 110 £168
23 Marshall B30 £169
24 Peavey MAX 112 Combo £115
25 Peavey MAX 115 Combo £149
26 Roland CB 100 £245
27 Warwick Blue Cab 60 £125
28 Warwick Take 12 £215

I dont really want to spend more than £175 but if you guys think it's worth spending a bit more the so be it.

Many thanks in advance

This would actually be my choice

[url="http://www.andertons.co.uk/acatalog/info_N12S.html"]Eden Silver Series N12S 175W 1x12 Bass Combo[/url]

Same power handling as the 15, but a bit smaller and lighter and I prefer the sound of 12s. Only £25 over your budget and you might be able to persuade the shop to either meet halfway for cash or chuck something else in. Add a second cabinet for the extra 55Watts and more speaker cone surface area.

....and one more vote for the Line 6 Studio 110.

I've used mine successfully (ie, able to hear myself OK) at a few band rehearsals. It's a great little amp (though I might have to sell mine in the near future due to having given in to the temptation of Christmas G.A.S. and ordered myself an Ashdown Superfly mini-rig).

Dont see why you cant just use your big rig and make liberal counter-clockwise modifications to the volume knob.

Some of the amps on your list are HUGE and heavy, certainly not portable. What is your big rig anyway? And what do you really want this new amp to do that your current amps dont?

My big rig is a David Eden WT500 with David Eden cabs 1X12 & 4X10

I'm using an Ashdown MAG C210 Combo for practice. It's sounds great, nice bottom end but it's just a bit too heavy to keep on dragging it out from the shed when I wanna play. With the handles on the side I can't carry it with one hand.

I guess you may suggest that I just use the Eden head and the 1X12 cab. The head is in a flight case with other bits & bobs in it so that is a bit of a pain to carry.

well I'm glad you didn't get a Laney RB6... nice combo, but HEAVY... two man lift territory...

I can't complain too much about mine though, I got it almost new for half list price...

I'm currently looking in the 30 watt region... as my Peavey 126 is too small and my Laney RB6 is too big for my current playing in church... looking at getting a Marshall MB B30 or a Peavey Max 112
