[quote name='M4L666' post='927915' date='Aug 17 2010, 07:35 PM']Looking for a nice loud portable amp to either amplify an electric bass or give a bit of a boost to an upright in an mic'd acoustic situation. Looked at the Bass Cube, and it looks good but people say it isn't very loud? Another option is to get a more powerful combo and then get some kind of power solution, if anyone has any other ideas don't hesitate to suggest them.
Thanks guys [/quote]
Hi - I have a Roland Mirco cube. I really like this little amp - really solidly put together (far superior in build quality to other practice amps I've seen - cheap Hartke, Line 6 etc). It has al manner of different effects, a drum machine, inputs for cds, headphones and another aux in. It is loud enough to hear over a quite loudly played cd and I can play along with my pal who plays the flute. It gets a bit fuzzy once the dials go past 12 noon and would not complete with an amplified guitar, but could easily compete with an acoustic. Batteries go in the back, but I have always used the mains adapter.
I'm interested in selling - about 2 years old, perfect condition, never been gigged
