CrapBassist

Yet another return-to-bass here. I played in a rock covers band (haven't we all...?) a few years back but had to flog everything after I pupped the Mrs. The only thing I kept hold of was my Warwick Corvette 4 string, and that was only because I could put it in the loft out of sight of 'er indoors. After a few too many beers and a blues brothers-esque epiphany, we decided to put the band back together, so now I'm on the hunt for a cheap and cheerful combo to get me through a few gigs to get some coin to buy a proper set up again. All those years of just being told to "just play root notes, will ya?" have taken their toll and I'm now getting a bit more adventurous and melodic rather than just thudding my way through songs. Having thought about it, for the first few years I could probably have coped with just the E and A strings... cheers! Iain.

Yeah, my MK3 was same era, bought from a guy who had it from new. I had the single 15 too, but never used it. No longer mine, unfortunately! I think I'll go for the 300. The weight doesn't really bother me, we don't gig too much. Cheers for the reply, fella.

I have the choice of these two amps, and I'm after any opinions people have as to what is best. I play in a rock covers band, and I have previously used Peavey gear (a MK3 head with 4x10) and really liked the sound. I was just wondering about performance, reliability etc. the prices are too close to be of consideration. I'm swaying towards the combo, purely because it has the extra headroom. Is there any big difference in sound/tone? Big thanks, and hello! this is my first post! Iain
