dan670844 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 www.bugera-amps.com/EN/products/BVV3000.aspx Anyone seen one of these? noticed it on the web the other day, looks like an Ampeg copy/clone, but using el cheapo components no doubt. Anyone brave enough? ha ha ha, but it will probably be more reliable than current Ampeg stuff, it makes me cry... Ashdown are at it with their B15 a like (looks nice though) Interesting though, seeing all the new stuff everyone is bringing out check out Ashdown website for example, Markbass, Ebs they are all at. I would hazard to suggest the timing is a little out, with recession etc and people loosing their jobs. I would of thought buying a new bass amp is the last on everybodys agenda! especially one costing the thick end of a grand + Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if not, I would give it a thought although I know that Bugera is a bit of a 'hit or mis'. And there is also the Fame BVH-300: [url="http://www.musicstore.com/en_EN/EUR/Fame-BVH-300L-Head-/art-BAS0002651-000"]http://www.musicstore.com/en_EN/EUR/Fame-B...-BAS0002651-000[/url] That is 630 euros for 300 tubey watts!
