Marcus Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Guys, I'm considering my comeback amp !! I'm unlikely to gig again in the near future but want a good sounding/compact set-up for home practice / messing about ! My question to one and all is....... What is the best sounding small compact Bass amp ? I used to have a PJB Suitcase/4b set up which was excellent for home use, but did fart out a little to early !! A pair of aggie 112's take some beating with a decent amp I've hear great things about the bergantino IP cabs too..... I'd love opinions on the IP112 If a great tone is the main criteria in a compact set-up (money almost no objection) what is my best solution ? I know i'll need to try myself...... but All opinions welcome ! Thanks Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) I absolutely love my Ampeg B50R Rocketbass. It's a bit OTT for a practice amp but it sounds great 50W into an Ampeg 'vintage' 12". And so pretty the woman of the house allows it to live in the living room. It's the only amp that's ever been allowed to do that. Edited December 15, 2009 by bigjohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 1x Aguilar DB112, plus amp of your choice. I like MB LM 3 or TC RH450. All in combo? Gotta be Mesa Walkabout 112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Personally, I'd go with a Walkabout... but if you like a neutral tone... it's not for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Another Walkabout fan here. Fantastic for rock with the tube preamp and very compact. You also have the option of removing the head should you start gigging again and want to put it through, say, a separate 4x10 cab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
