Lord Sausage Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Is it me or are there never any decent combos for sale on here! Just Rigs and cabs. I've got a rig. What i need is a decent combo for playing pubs with just backline and vocal PA. Can't be arsed carting my rig about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 You'd probably struggle to find a combo loud enough for pubs with no PA support. The only thing I could think of that would be capable would be a 4x10" combo or similar. There is a fantastic combo on here at the moment - a Trace V-type 15" with valve preamp. Fantastic combo but even it needed an extension cab to play pubs. When I had my Trace 7210H 2x10" combo, I still had to use a 1048H 4x10" for pub gigs.

I used my m6 carbine combo at an open air gig with no pa support. It is 600 watts on it's own and sounds awesome. Cheers Thebassman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 (edited) I have a TC BG500 up at the mo and that will fill most venues without PA support it's a monster! There have been a number of Tecamp combo's in the same boat recently as well as a few high powered Trace combo's.

charic Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 My line6 300pro manages it fine. May well be going up for sale once I get my insurance money through (car accident and had to outlay £350 excess ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought that a pub gig without PA support is one of the most demanding jobs that backline amplification is asked to perform; surely for bigger gigs, you'd have a proper PA, so backline would be just for stage monitoring. Or am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like a combo that would do that job. Done it in the past, worked fine. I was also saying you never see them on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markstuk Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I have scattered around various places the following.. Ashdown MAG300/15 Line 6 LD300 Ashdown EB180/15 But I think a combo is more of a hassle than a small head and a 1x15 or 4x10 or whatever because you've got the worst of both worlds in terms of size and weight.. There are plenty of chunky combos out there.. Carvin 600, Ashdown 575/4x10 - there even was an Ashdown 8x10 combo.... Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantherairsoft Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 You just need to look harder… [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=103862"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=103862[/url] or [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=85022"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=85022[/url] They will do the job perfect. There are also a hell of a lot of 300w combo's up at the mo (Trace & Ashdown) and in most cases I honestly beleive thats enough power to fill move venues unless you are playing big 2000 capacity clubs.

I can carry it with one hand, it's never not been loud enough and it solved several problems I've had with other amps, for instance, it sounds just as good at low volume as it does loud.

Slipperydick Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) I got a Hartke 3500 4X10 combo. Loud and clean enough for just about anywhere, and fits easy in the boot of a Vectra.
