Looking for a new amp

[Lord Sausage]

I currently have a Marshall head, Peavey speakers Bass rig. However, just joined a covers band doing pub circuit. Don't need anything that loud or cumbersome to lug about. So i'm in the market for a combo that will have enough power to sound strong in that setting. I have about £300 to spend. Anyone know of anything decent new or second hand. Cheers!

i'd highly recommend a trace elliot combo. Every one that i've played through seemed to produce a wall of sound with tone to boot.
They're not exactly light... but a 1x15 combo aint exactly massive.

What he said. For £300 you can get a really reasonable Trace combo.

Or, if you can stretch the extra £50, this will set you in really good stead - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=93810"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=93810[/url]

As you currently have a Marshall head, if yr happy with their gear, the MB4210 combo is a very good amp, in my opinion.
2 channels, 280 watts on its own - 450 with an extension speaker, modern channel has a compressor, classic channel has boostable gain by footswitch. Plus, both channels can be blended. I used one in a heavy rock band, and was plenty powerful enough.

And its definately worth checking out Hartke - versatile, powerful, and not usually too heavy.

+ 1 for the Hartke suggestion.

And check the 'amp for sale' section, there was a nicely priced Trace V-type combo
