sk8 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 is that small and light or just small dimensionally? I've got a GB Shuttle 3.0-10T which is great but a bit over your price range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 (edited) Markbass CMD121P combos can be found second hand for £500, and there's a 121H for sale (slightly taller but better sounding) in the classifieds right now for £500. It's basically the much raved about Markbass LMII head in an amazingly light and loud combo. Highly recommended, although much less dirty and coloured sound than what you're used to getting from the Ashdown I imagine. But you can always dirty up a clean amp with a pedal like the VT Bass!

They really are only minor which I mentioned to be as honest as possible. Oh, it fits in my Yaris with space for all my other gear (2x basses in hard cases, 1x12 extension cab, pedalboard, couple of 4U rack cases, stands etc.) no problem.

Jamesk86 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Check out the Ampeg BA series, they come with an SVT tube engine and are fantastic in the tone department! I've just bought the BA300-210 and its a monster! I couldn't ask for anything better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwnci Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Thank you all, i quite like the look of the cmd, that laney is too big, any smaller Ampeg's worth looking at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
