I've currently got a line 6 ld15 amp and I'm looking to upgrade.

 

I've got a budget of £230 and want the best bang for my buck. I will be using it for spare room practice, studio jamming and small venue gigging.

 

Let's hear some recommendations please

Classifieds.

 

You are looking for an old combo with a bit of poke. Trace Elliot,  Ashdown, Peavey. 150w and 15" speaker.

 

If your practice amp is in good condition you might not take too bad of a bath px'ing at a shop.

Crikey there are some deals about.

 

As an example;

 


or old cab…

… plus one of those discounted brand new TC heads people posted about the other day; 

 

Barely scratching the surface!

A combo amp would be preferable 

 

Ah sorry, I missed that. In which case you could also treat yourself to a powered PA speaker - you'll get a lot bang for your buck. Sometimes also referred to as 'FRFR' speakers. There's a massive thread on it somewhere and plenty of BC fans of that approach.

Pea Turgh's suggestion above of that 100w Rumble is sound. It's collection only from Bradford, which is a schlepp from where you are, but that's a very good price for one of those.

It's a bit to big unfortunately as I've not much room in my flat 

Sell your coffee table Polythene plus black tablecloth. Odd looking coffee table that makes bass noises.

Reason this didn't rate a mention until now is that is.indeed a crazy low price.

Many thanks for the replies I will continue to keep an eye on local listings for a deal.

 

I've been very tempted about asking my brother in law if he's up for a trip to Bradford to pick up a Fender Rumble (He originates from Hull so could make a weekend of it) 😂😂

 

Out of interest if you were to recommend something brand new at the same price point what would it be?

 

Many thanks again

No chance for anything new for £230 that can keep up with drums.

 

If there was a gunfight on you are the guy planning to show up with a knife, and not one any good for sticking in anyone.

 

You really ought to jump on that Trace combo just down the road from you. It's not too big when your budget is so small.

 

Someone is going to "or best offer" more than the opening gambit of that ebay Rumble and turn it into a private auction.

 

You have to move air to make bass. Moving air takes decent speakers and amp power. If you want something you can carry in one hand you want to treble your budget. Get your head in the game.

Either of these would be my pick, some great deals around and that Eden cab is crazy cheap.
