Anyone on here know if the fans in these are on all the time or just when the head gets hot & has any owners on here had any issues with this combo? I maybe getting a later one so it not Italian made. 
Cheers!

We were playing at about 90 decibels. If the fan was on, I wouldn't have heard it

But it sounded excellent and it would be a bargain at £229.

Ok mate! Cheers for the info 👍🏻

The 500 watt one through an Eden 410.

Was the fan very noisy? The 226 doesn’t have a fan apparently. 
Cheers!

I tried one of those Edens, in a local rehearsal room, last year and it sounded great.

Up until then I'd never played through one.

The 226 or 501? 
Cheers!

Yeah I’ve seen this advert. Cheers!

I got the 226 - I've been on a fanless quest for a while, so it ticked my boxes very well.

I run it through an SWR 2x12.

 

Cheers for the info. Should I pull the trigger I’ll update the thread. Thanks!

I’m the same - one of those in the corner would make my “music room*” look much bigger than it is.

At the risk of hijacking the thread, I wonder if they do “that” sound as a proper Ampeg should?

 

*okay, the conservatory

The ampeg VR Mini rig looks awesome. But it’s about £600 plus!

I got one of these a week or so ago and I'm very impressed.

The EQ is nice-sounding, and very flexible with the 2-band tweakable mids, it's also very quiet (no fan and very low background noise).

Only house use so far, but it's a nice little unit.

The only downside, as Mr. Bass-Lessons says, is that the buttons on the the front feel a bit cheap, but it makes up for that with the lovely sound.

I’m tempted by the 500 watt head for the sake of an extra 60 quid. Did you get the 226 or 501 head? Also what cab do you run with it? 
Cheers! 

Also found the 500 watt version for £229! 

Just been looking around & seen one of these. 
Any thoughts? They were around £400 when they came out so £177 delivered & new appears to be a good deal.

If you want it to look impressive, then the Ampeg Micro VR or CL would be great (the mini stacks, the VR is the 200w version, the CL is the 100w version).

One of the Fender Rumble amps could be a good investment?

Maybe an Ashdown would be a good choice? CTM30?

Maybe even the Hotone Thunder Bass micro head (5w) and a cab?

Cheers for the recommendations! 

I do like the look of the ampeg VR 200, not so fussed about a fender to be honest. Ashdown maybe a good option (CTM 15) would probably do it with a 110 or 112 cab. 
I was looking at another Basschaters post regarding the thunder bass when he said he compared them with two much more high end & higher powered amps & he preferred the Hotone  🤷🏻

I think I'd be quite tempted by that mini SVT stack. Not sure what's it's called but it's the smaller head and 2x10 cab.

Probably a good sound for indoors and a bit quirky too. I've quite fancied one just for the look.;

Yeah there’s two of them. The 100 watt head & the 200 watt VR head. Both have 210 cabs, the 100 watt is black & the 200 has silver cloth. 

Just now, Steve Browning said:

What do you want it for? Another house amp or for rehearsing/gigging?

That might inform recommendations.

Mainly the House Steve. Sorry should of said! 

GAS is getting the better of me & I’ve been trying to resist during lockdown. FAIL! 
 

I have an Ampeg B15 (House use only) BUT, fancy another toy! 
Any recommendations at all, preferably lightweight combo or cab/head set up. I did put a wanted ad up on a local forum to me but nothing really caught my eye. 
Wattage isn’t that important but maybe it would be better to have a few more than not so many. 
I was looking at the TC 208 but the TC 112 combo appears to be better regarding its a full volume combo. The TC 208 would need another cab thus hiking the price up. 
My budget really depends on what’s available. 
Cheers in advance!!! 

That looks like an absolute beauty! Is it an ash body?

Jimi’s my middle name but I’ll let you off mate. And it’s James on a Sunday 😉 

Just bought Andy’s Ampeg Scrambler pedal. 
Item was sent the next day & well packed. 
I’d have no hesitation in dealing with Andy in the future. 
 

Cheers - Anth

Ooh lovely! 

Bang Tidy that mate! 😍 
 

Withdrawn, I’ve been playing this a bit more lately  & decided to keep it for now. 

Fender Precision 1977/78 according to the serial number. Has some playing wear but it’s a good’n. Ash body, maple neck. 

Guitar Info

Your guitar was made at the 
Fullerton Plant (Fender - CBS Era), USA

Trades wise I might be tempted by a musicman.  

I’m in North Shields, Tyne & Wear. I’d prefer pickup but may meet half way or post if I really have to. 

I’ve sold 4 basses recently so check my feedback. I decided to get down to two precision’s so that’s why this one is up for sale. 

DEPOSIT TAKEN - SOLD PENDING THE USUAL 

Bargain that mate! I’ve had a few of them in the past. Good solid amps & for not much money either!
