On the lookout for a back up amp head!

Recommended Posts

After all the advice on here and other sites I have just purchased the following:
Schroeder BMF 1212 40hm Cab
Markbass Little Mark 11

Now that I have this lovely light rig, I want a back up head rather than take along my cumbersome combo.
Needs to be mono so no bridging is involved for my single 4ohm cab.
Any suggestions?
Please remember it is for back up and having shelled out nearly £1,500 this past week on gear, I need something dirt cheap.

Ex-display Ashdown LG1000, puts out 500w from each 4ohm output, £219. Will fit in most gigbag pockets too!

+1- I have the exact same rig as you plus a 1515 - The LG 1000 is very impressive for £249 new- if you get another Schroeder or any other cab you can use jsut the LG or both amps for a killer rig!!

Not that you need any more than you have got

Thanks but looking for one dirt cheap as a back up around the £100. Probably won't get it on here; maybe local ads or ebay.
Cheers

If you can find one, a s/h Yamaha BBT-500H. All-digital, so it's not much bigger & heavier than a big lap-top but runs 500W into 2 ohm, decent EQ, compression, amp modelling (does hi-fi modern or Ampeg grit very well indeed), usual DI etc - mines been 100% reliable in 5 yrs and carries around in my leads box.

How about a Hartke 200W Head, the Hartke 2000 model?
Dual Jack 8 ohm outs (no speakon) but fully serviced and mint!
