taunton-hobbit Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I've got Matamp(s) and Crown - if weight is a problem, go for a Crown class D............simple choice for me, the Crown is the Gig Machine, the Matamps are my 'show off' amps............

Lozz196 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Aguilar maybe - their cheapest range being the Tonehammers which still aren`t cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTUK Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 All the while, the Aguilar op remains in the U.S factory, then they qualify, IMO. But... watch this space..??? That is an opinion in that any global and popular maker may sell up and retire to the beach and the accountants will move to a low cost option whilst trading on the good name.

Japhet Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Glockenklang or Vanderklay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defo Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Aguilar I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouns Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 According to me gallien krueger makes very reliable amps, which for their price can compete with more expensive amps in terms of quality and sound. Otherwise aguilars are worth the price you pay for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsgbass Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I really don't pay attention to a lower based amp, in a brand, if it won't work as I need it to. It just worked out for me that the Super Bassman head has sound I wanted through the SVT-410HLF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Thunderfunk Vanderklay Alembic Warwick hellborg line come to mind, but I think once you go past a certain point its all just shades... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petergales Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 +1 for Matamp - absolute quality through and through. Try Weber amps as well. I've their MYWATT200 and it's brilliant gets loads of compliments - even from guitards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Companies tend to offer products at a variety of price points. Probably hope if you start with a budget item and like it, you'll upgrade to one of their belter offerings. Some make their own premium products and sub contract budget items (EBS). Instruments the same - G&L for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
