Hello all, I've been trolling through the forums for some time now, reading various reviews, points, avoids etc. & feel like I have a better knowledge due to this. However, the Mrs has agreed to me "Upgrading" the gear & now I'm having a proper panic up with all the choices out there If anyone has any advice for this, help much appreciated. I usually play with the Yamaha BB bass through an old Peavey Black Widow combo, which has been fine for rehearsals, but a bit more room for movement is needed now, with the odd Pub gig thrown in as well. Typical style of Rock & Blues. Been looking at the TC Electronic BH500 with a BC 2x12 & 2x10 (had 20 mins on them at local). Might even step to a RH450 instead of the BH500 ?? Now I know there are loads of different rigs to choose from, but can really only line up half a dozen to test out. Million dollar question - What ones to arrange for sound tests at local store ?? I only mentioned the TC, as they seemed pretty good sound to me and very good "Bang for Buck". Open to anything really, just don't want to commit £1000 to £1400 on the gear & then have an "Oh Bollox" moment Any advice on this is really going to help. Thanks..
