Help! trying to find small but giggable combo?

[mwnci]

Hello,
im looking to get a small but giggable combo, ive an Ashdown 2/10 which is brilliant, but is a bit of a lump to fit in the car, and for smaller gigs, pubs etc, i don't really need the volume, anyone got any ideas, id be willing to spend up to 500£

[sk8]

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

Size really, im not to bothered by the weight, it has to fit in a ford fiesta!

Laney RB7 *cough cough* Save money to spend on something nice, look in the for sale section *cough cough*

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!

Please don't be put off by my mention of cosmetic issues. 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.

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!

Thank you all, i quite like the look of the cmd, that laney is too big, any smaller Ampeg's worth looking at?
