discreet Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) A GK MB200 will do you nicely. Don't be fooled by the specs - it's loud.

badboy1984 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I think his budget is £250 for amp and speaker. Those 2 he was looking at is a combo amp. Are you planning to use the amp for home practice, jam with friend or gig purpose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwnci Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Hi, yes its more of a combo i was looking for, i might use it for a small gig and band practice, but its going to be mostly just for the house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badboy1984 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 If is for the house I think pretty much any decent small combo will do the job. Gig wise I don't think either one will work unless you play very quiet on stage. I have also heard the BG250 have less power then advertise, but someone can clarify this.

karlfer Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 If there is nothing on here close to you, try Facebook. Just do a search in the bar, top left hand corner. The beauty of local is you can go and try before you commit. Second hand, much more "bang for buck". For example, I know there are North West bass gear, South Wales Bassplayer, Bass market UK, Facebook groups. Good luck, Karl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
