Grrr which amp??

[BenK]

sorry if you hear this alot but...

I need a amp and i'm not sure what to buy?? I would like it to be gigable at small to medium venues and I have a budget of £200 with the credit crunch n'all,but , I have to buy it new.i have a deal with my local music shop and there order what i want in.

so any ideas ??

Thanks,

[wateroftyne]

You're going to struggle to get something useabale for £200 new.

Are you talking just an amp, or amp & cab?

[danbowskill]

if its just the amp?the hartke 2500 head is great value and sound for the cash(around £190 mark on ebay)if its a combo you wont get anything good new!!shop around for a secondhand one be miles better,alot of bargains out there :-)a little bit extra £270 and you could get a peavey tnt 15" combo(very loud clean bit o kit)

[BenK]

it would be amp and cab or a combo

hmm very tight budget for new mate :-( look around hard and a laney 300w 210 combo might come up as can be found cheap(also a cracking amp!)but from a shop for £200 wont be very good for giging,but if just for home you would be fine

[BenK]

ok £230-240 is the max i can go,thanks for the suggestions

[Geddys nose]

I'd go for used you are really doubling your money if you do, One of them Peavey rigs on Amps For Sale would last and last- really solid stuff.

Hi - rather than start a new thread, I find myself in a similar situation.

Recently returned to bass after 20 years or so, to help out a band -I was previously guitarist - rhythm and lead


I am happy to go up to £300 for a used combo

Stuff I play is Rock covers - eagles through to Red hot chilli peppers and metallica

I use an Ibanez active SX590 bass

Will be the bass player in a 6 piece band - 2 guitars, 2 girlie singers and a loud drummer..

Pub gigs - medium to large

Reasonable Bose PA

Currently using a Peavey - TNT 100 basic but loud but also limited - and way too heavy for an old man like me to lug around.... I put the bass through my Boss ME 50 guitar fx so I can get some chorus, tuning, reverb and wah..... not ideal I know ;-)


I am tracking the following on gumtree and ebay etc:

Trace 715 or 7215 or 7210 - 300w - each about 10 + years old or more
Trace GP11 and 15" Cab - very aged
Line 6 LD300 Pro - 3 years old - been warned away from these but others seem to love them??
Roland CB 100 - new. Maybe too lightweight

or something better that I haven't considered??

Please save me - I'm going snowblind!!!!

Many thanks

Kol

Kol[/quote]go for the trace 7215 or 7210.i had the 7215 and it was loud enough for medium sized gigs with loads to spare.great combos imo.

[skankdelvar]

Secondhand (or 'previously cherished' if you prefer the distinction). Buy from BC marketplace and you'll get something nice for your budget.

Theres absolutely nothing wrong with the line6 believe me

Hi - thanks very much - a couple of those i am already tracking

Much appreciated

What's the general view on Line 6 ld 300?

[The Funk]

[quote name='charic' post='591500' date='Sep 6 2009, 04:48 PM']Theres absolutely nothing wrong with the line6 believe me [/quote]

I don't have one but I heard the bassist for a friend of mine gig the small 10" combo at the Notting Hill Arts Club a few years ago and thought it sounded fantastic!

[charic]

ive got the 10" combo too. Thats not going anywhere. The replacement for the 300 is gonna xost a LOT more than that did!

I have one of these, they are fantastic. ! I pissed myself laughing when I first saw it, but when I heard it, it certainly shut me up !!
I think "Out to play Jazz" has one as well, if you want a second opinion.....
