Pinball Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hi I play both lead and bass and Its a big ask but I am hoping to find a small combo that I can use for both. It has to be light and portable but I'm still hoping for something that will give 20-50w. I tried an little ampeg with 8' speaker. It didn't really float my boat with bass but sounded OK with a telecaster through it. Suggestions? Roland cube 20? Ashdown? small rumble? Whats the best bet?

[/quote] Thanks, a good suggestion-from what I have heard the Markbass stuff give a great "true" sound but It's out of my budget. Also the ac101 id designed for acoustic instruments isn't it? I'm all electric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will do. I'm a crap guitarist, so let me know what's 'good' and what's 'bad' to you. Will be early next week before I'm back in Glasgow where the guitar and amp are.

Japhet Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Line 6 LD15. Good little combo and surprisingly loud. Designed for bass, but guitarist in my band uses one to work stuff out at home (and loves it). Has all sorts of effects and gizmos on it too.

Pinball Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share Posted February 17, 2013 Thanks for the advice, I'm sorted now. I picked up an Orange Crush 35B off Gumtree locally. Nice bass tones and acceptable lead tones-not as nice as my Bandit but a lot lighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
