Best sub £200 Bass Combo??

[Arctic_Mikey]

Hi,

It's my birthday coming up soon and I figure what better way to spend any Birthday dosh then on a new practice amp.

Currently i'm playing in a covers band, playing stuff like The Who, Stereophonics, Foo Fighters, etc and i'm getting fed up of lugging my 100watt Carlsbro Viper amp around (it's one old, havy beast).

So ideally i'm looking for a decent practice amp I can use for home but also for rehersals with the band as well. It's ideally got to be sub £200.

I've been thinking about either: a Orange Crush Pix 50BXT (£169) OR a HiWatt MaxWatt B60 (£158)

Though i've also flirted with the idea of a Marshall MB60 but at £280 it's quite pricey.

Any thoughts people? Any amps I really should consider other then above?

I'd recommend anything by Ashdown personally, their Electric blue combos are pretty decent for the money. Should be loads of stuff for under £200 in the amps for sale section of this site too

No contest in my experience. Buying new it'd have to be the Line6 Studio 110. There are quite a few on here who will agree.

If you need bigger/louder think about buying used where your money will go MUCH further.

I know I could definitley get more for my money buying second-hand but I figure pretty much all my stuff is second-hand already. I would ideally like to buy something new for once

Totally over looked Line 6 stuff! That 110 looks pretty awesome to be honest.
