Hello!

I'm in the midst of researching practice combos as I need to pick one up for home use (currently ampless!) and I've boiled my search down to the Ampeg BA range.

Herein lies the dilemma - I'm unsure as to whether the 8" model would be sufficient for fart-free practice at home (bearing in mind I'm running an active bass with pretty hot pickups) or whether trading up to the 10" model would be worthwhile.

Budget is not too great a concern (as long as I stay sub-£150) but space is, hence the 8" model is still a consideration.

I would greatly appreciate your advice and input whether it be more generally around speaker performance or specifically around the Ampeg BA range so that I can feel as though I'm making a more informed purchase decision!

Cheers,

Dave

I lust after high end gear, but when it comes down to it, I gig my CV weekly and it does evrrything I need. Its all in the set up for me.

This!

I was on Denmark St with my guitarist friend (we all have one, right?) and we were both blown away by the CV Precision I tried. To echo a few other posts as much as I would love an £xk bass, there's as much joy to be found in discovering a 'diamond in the rough'!

Thought I should pop in and say hi!

I'm Dave, 24, live and work in London, have been a member of the fraternity of Bass for nearly a decade, but have spent the last three years neglecting my instrument(s) whilst focussing on my career in The Big Smoke.

I am pleased to say that I've seen the error of my ways, cleaned up my bass and picked up with some walking lines to get the fingers moving again.

Outside of playing music I enjoy a bit of casual gaming, expanding my vinyl collection, consuming more than my fair share of caffeine and keeping abreast with all the latest developments in the world of mobile tech.

So, that's me!
