Need opinions on what Bass Combo to get!!

[minimanowen]

Hello,
I'm looking to buy a new bass combo for myself for crimbo.
[b]I'v got around 150 to spend, and i need something i can jam with my drummer with and get some quality tone from.[/b]

[b]Yes i know thats a lot to ask for the money, but any advice would be helpfull...[/b]
I havn't had a amp for a year and a half now, and practice sucks without one. (Duh)
So thease are the choices i'v made so far, [b]but if you'v got a suggestion, let me know please![/b]

Warwick Blue Cab 60
Lanley RB3
Behringer BXL 900 (and the Behringer BXL 900A)
Behringer BXL 800 (and again the BXL 800A)
Peavy MAX 112
Hiwatt Maxwatt B60

I'v looked at a couple of reveiws on most of thease, so far the Warwick is standing out the most, but the Lanley is cheaper.... hmmmm thats why i need help, just can't make my mind up!!!!!!

Like i said, if you got advice....
[b]I NEEED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [/b]

P.S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I own an active Maverick 4 string bass, so i'd be playing that through it.
I play lots of slap and rock[b][/b]
Anyways, Help welcome!!

If I were you I'd be looking to buy second hand. I don't know were you're based, but there's a nice deal on an Ashdown Electric Blue in the for sale section - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=67505"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=67505[/url]

For the money you've got to spend you can pick up Peavey TNT's or Ashdown Mag's fairly easily, both of which would be an improvement on the combos you're looking at.

Id recomend the Peavey tnt good little combo, I used one 4 about 3 yrs.

I would replace the speaker with a second hand black widow when your funds allow. Then if volume is becoming an issue just add the peavey 2x10 tvx. Fits very nicly on top indeed.

Your budget should just get you something decent second hand to meet your requirements.
You should find something on here, and you can buy with confidence too.
Good luck!

If you do want to go new then an Ashdown Five Fifteen falls within budget at £148, 100 watts into a 15" driver should do ya, they sound nice too

secondhand is definitely the way to go, you can get a lot of small gig-able combos for £150.
