Linus27 Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I might need a 4x10 cab and loudish amp, maybe 500 watts for an audition soon and I really don't fancy buying it unless I get the gig. Does anyone know anywhere that hires out bass amps and cabs? I am based in Surrey/Hampshire but don't mind travelling further afield to collect if I need to. Thanks.

Linus27 Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 Thank you, thats great and really helps me out. Once I know if I have the audition I'll be in touch. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbass Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I've used MattSnowball many times, both for bass gear and PA bits, and can wholeheartedly endorse them. Phil is great to deal with (nice surprise to find you on here Phil!) In fact if you look closely at my avatar pic you'll see an Ampeg 1x18 that I hired to beef up my 4x10HLF and SVT4 rig a couple of years back.
