Phwoah, this crops up right as I'm thinking about getting a 5 string... it's a sign!

I've got the older 500W version. Can solidly vouch for this - tonnes of power, gorgeous clean tone and incredibly light. Quite possibly the perfect combo (If there were such a thing).

Just bought a Markbass AC 121 Lite off Bas.

Great guy, really enjoyed trying out all his guitars - and he was kind enough to drop me off at the tube station afterwards!

Mainstream?

Ah damn, hoped I could sneak it in cos Les Claypool seemed to be well known round these parts

How about some Primus?

Would you be willing to travel at all?

I would buy one (BB800) new and look for a used Barefaced cab like a Super Compact, BB2 or even one of the older 15" Compacts which seem to have dropped below £300 now. 

I'll lurk the forums until one comes up...

The Quilter Bass Block has similar controls

What cab did you use with it? I could probably stretch up to £1000 for some serious gear

A Markbass 802 is within your budget and has a switchable speaker output. Light too. 

Lack of EQ on it though... Would a decent EQ pedal make up for that?

Or maybe one of the Richard Bona signature combos - does anyone have experience with those?

But basic questions - what are your transport options? Will you have to carry up stairs? Does the one rig have to cover all your gigs? Do you usually DI into PA or use backline?

A small/medium car, so smaller really would be better. My home is up stairs so definitely!

At the moment, having just one rig would be easiest I think.

If there is a PA I do, however a lot of the stuff we do doesn't warrant one.

Hi guys,

I'm looking to upgrade my bass rig. At the moment, my amp is an old Roland KC-350, but I don't need all the stereo ins and outs, and frankly could do with something a bit more tailored towards bass. 

I've been looking at the Roland Cube 120XL, and the Laney SLS 112 for combos, and should I go down the halfstack route, a Warwick LWA 500 (probably with a 208 or 210)

My budget is around £600, I mainly play jazz and jazz funk but also have a psychedelic rock group simmering away.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Uh, bit of a long shot. Is it still for sale?

Whereabouts are you located?

If he buys the extension cab I'd be very interested in just the combo...

Although twice the sales is twice the hassle!
