Which practice amp to buy ??

[BMBR]

I'm looking for a practice combo - must be small and portable (natch !) but ideally with mp3/Ipod input, headphone output and a built in tuner. Anyone know if such a thing exists - it's the built in tuner seems to be escaping me as I search the interwebuliser for inspiration . . . yet they are available in some guitar practice combos I've seen on the market . . .Cheers !

If it was me I would go for any of the Ampeg BA series no tuner but cracking amps or a TC BH combo series they have a built in tuner but are about 250W but I would not worry about a built in tuner I don't think they are all that great but that is just my personal view

Roland microcube bass RX. All of the required features, plus it can be battery operated and it has a simple drum machine to practice your timing and phrases.

Thanks for the replies .....I will investigate further

The only inbuilt tuner I know of is Orange but I find them harsh. I'd go for one of the new fender rumble combos or a new ashdown combo ... Both companies have brought out new really good ranges :-)

Line6 Lowdown LD150 ticks all the boxes. Even has a few built in effects to pay around with. 150w might be more than you need for a home practice amp but but at that power should be okay for band rehearsals too!

There's a great little Ashdown Boxer 65 in the for sale section, it might not have all the bells & whistles but they're a bloody good practice amp for just a few quid

Is a Trace Elliot by the way lol.

My personal recommendation would be one of the new Fender Rumbles. I have 40 and it's brilliant, plenty loud and LIGHTER than the old Rumble 15 that I traded in. No tuner built in but you could always pick up a pedal for £15-£30.

Orange CR50BXT. Has everything you want, including the tuner, and sounds great.
