P-bassman Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Hi guys, I am a noob here and would dearly love some advice. I’m after a new bass amp or even a combo...now, I have a MAXIMUM of £500 to spend BUT, I’d like to get an fx pedal or two with that.. I have contacted my local guitarguitar pffft and they say they have contacted their suppliers of TC Electronics but don’t know if or WHEN they’ll get any little 115/112’s in. I previously had a Trace Elliot 7215 which was glorious but weighed the size of a small moon..and done me back in with it and ended up selling it so now I want to get back out there with my trusty 79 Precision . ANY advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Any moment now, someone will recommend the Fender Rumbles. They're decent for the money and nice and light, but really, you need to go and try some kit. Find a well stocked shop (Bass Direct or similar), spend some time comparing and make an informed decision based on your preference, not anyone else's. Don't buy on recommendation. That's a major reason so much nearly new stuff appears in the marketplace on here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 If looking at lighter weight items then the Fender Rumble & Ashdown RM ranges used will be a good bet, as will Markbass. All of these pair really nicely with a Precision in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Krow Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 The TC BG 250 112 or 210 are a lot of kit for the money. Add a Zoom B4(X) and you have a 'pedalboard to go' on top and change from £350. What are you going to spend the remaining £150 on? 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
