Joshbasscana Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 Hey troops, I'm in the market for a bass combo for some gigs with my band. Im currently lugging around a Warwick 5.1 Tubepath Head and 410 Cab. Ive been thinking about downscaling recently to maybe a 2x10 Bass combo i.e. Ampeg Ba600, Ashdown Klystron C210 We've been writing stuff recently which is crying out for a bit more grit, so that's something Im looking for. The warwick is a brilliant clean amp, but I need something a bit naughtier - without breaking the law of course. And something slightly more portable. Is there a combo amp out there which really does deliver on volume, superb tone and, to an extent, portablility? Would appreciate your input and advice. Cheers guys, Josh Quote

Joshbasscana Posted November 23, 2009 Author Posted November 23, 2009 I think I would sell my Warwick head and put to it...so maybe £600/£700? Not sure yet. [quote name='sk8' post='662943' date='Nov 23 2009, 05:31 PM']Shuttle 6.0-210T Combo? whats your budget?[/quote] Quote
chris_b Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 I don't think the Ampeg BA600 with either the 210 or 115 has had very good reviews. Quote
Joshbasscana Posted November 23, 2009 Author Posted November 23, 2009 I saw the review for the Ampeg BA600 210 in some bass mag recently. It said it was pretty good - but you gotta dig the ampeg tone or it aint for you. Not sure about the 115.

Joshbasscana Posted November 24, 2009 Author Posted November 24, 2009 Actually - just read some of those reviews on harmony central. Yup - I wont be buying an ampeg combo anytime soon then! Im actually getting quite tempted at an Orange bass Tiny Terror and either 115 cab or a 210. It's not a combo, but seems not bad for the buck! With it having a digital power section, is that a bad thing or a good thing I wonder?
