Ghost_Bass Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 From my recent experience i would say that a Pre+power setup beats a amp head. You have more of everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have more of everything [/quote] I was looking at separate pre and power amps - but power amps are a whole new ball game that I don't majorly understand and aren't discussed much on here. WOuld I have to start visiting lots of PA forums to understand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_Bass Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Na, just try a couple of them to find out. Crest Audio and Crown are amongst the best you can get at reasonable prices on the used market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawrenceH Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 The main thing to watch for when using a decent power amp is that your preamp is up to scratch in terms of output level - pro power amps are designed for pro output level, they usually state the input sensitivity as part of the spec. Strangely, lots of bass preamps don't seem designed to match these. If you get it right then a pre+power amp combination beats most dedicated bass amps IMO.
