Warwick BC10 (very small combos)

[Che]

Ordered this Warwick BC10 which should arrive next week. Wonder what you folks have to say about it. Did any of you use it and if you think it’s a good choice for a low volume practice? 
 

I did look at the Hartke HD15, Rumble 15 and Ampeg RB108 but opted for Warwick as it seems noise free and is small. 
 

As I’m dad at home I need it to be small to move it fast if my youngest son is misbehaving  

 

Please do tell anything you know about this Warwick amp and also if you think I could have chosen a better amp within the similar price range. (Must be small).

I don't know anything about the combo but I watched the demo video. It sounded great I must admit. My Streamer is the best sounding bass I own so I have a fondness for Warwick equipment.

 

It's currently strung B E A D.

 

That said I get a smile a mile wide when I play through my practice amp an Ampeg B15NF.

Ah your amp is an Ampeg from another universe entirely  Has nothing to do with those Ampeg Rocket combos! 
 

Im my case it just has to sound really good on low volume. It will be on the table facing me. Rich deep tone with nice note separation is my desire. A bit of limiting is a plus. 

Looking forward to receiving this Warwick amp testing it. Im

no bass player but will give my opinion once I plug into it.

Just received this Warwick amp! Test drive … (my bass is not shielded and likely not grounded properly)

I've got one of these and it really delivers way beyond what you'd expect.
Loads of bass and volume for such a tiny box.

Enjoy!

It sure has lots of bass! I naively turned up the bass knob just to cut it big time  I actually cranked the Treble knob full on, almost cut off all the mids and bass is at 11 o’clock.

Very surprised by this tiny combo I am! The more I crank it the better it sounds! So not my experience with SS amps. 
 

Very rich low end when fully cranked amp volume. And the tone is pleasant to the ears which is great. 
 

I tried my Behringer BDI-21 pedal for extra drive but was not pleased with it. Then tried the TC Zeus (Klon) with Fat switch engaged and the smile was on me face    Noice!

Jonas Hellborg was involved in designing the wider range of these amps, and by all accounts even these little cheapies have a preamp and power stage with his finger prints on it. That explains the amount of clean, pure power, despite its size!
