uk_lefty Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 There's loads in your price range. I'd nearly always go second hand on amps and cabs because the value is there as opposed to new. Trace Elliot, Hartke, Gallien Krueger backline series, Fender Rumble, Ashdown, Peavey... There's loads about and if you are prepared to drive to the bum end of nowhere then you can get some great deals because people don't want to post them and they're the only bassist in their village. Just make sure you can test first if buying from eBay, Gumtree, Facebook (check for hums, rattling speakers, no clean tone available... But a lot of amp issues are quite simple for a tech to solve). If you're playing covers and need something versatile all of those brands (and more) would help, don't forget you can get good effects tools for not much money second hand that can give you amp emulators etc of there is a really specific sound you need... You're on a slippery slope now in to trading through gear in search of a sound you may never find 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friskydingo Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 I've done a lot of trading and buying when I was a guitarist so I'm indeed a GAS victim! Definitely getting second hand Don't mind travelling if I know I love the sound of the amp, just not to test it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
