I'm no expert but a 4ohm retro 210 from barefaced will get you a lot from 350w if I had the cash that's what I'd buy and u reckon that's what Alex will say. If I had a spare £500 that's what I'd buy.

Redimar 250 on ebay at the mo. Any thoughts?

Hmmm thanks for the input guys very helpful. If I find a LM250 2nd hand I'd go for it, not much luck so far so brand new is £240/250 which is why I'm considering the TH350 as at £300 (albeit used) it's not far off. Anyway the EBS reidmar or the LH500 haven't been on the radar. More research needed! Thanks again fellas 👍

Okay so an Aguilar Tone Hammer 350 just popped up in the classified section, for a good price Any opinions on how this fits in with the other heads mentioned?

Thanks for the input fellas, much appreciated ;-)

Hi @mrn1989 [quote name='mrn1989' timestamp='1494433549' post='3295971'] I own a LM250 Blackline and its a great cheap head, with the addition of the VLE and VPF filters you can fine tune any sound you want, roll the VPF and the VLE up and it will give you the warm rounded tone you mention, then roll off the VLE to bring the brightness back. .........plus I think its the only one out of the bunch that has a DI volume, which can be very useful. I use mine mainly for recording but Ive gigged with x2 EBS 1x12 cabs outdoors and it did fine without any PA support for a 4 piece blues gig. Hope that helps @sweeneythbass. Would be a great choice but interested to see what other people think of it [/quote] thanks for your input, I'm already leaning towards the Mark bass head! Anyone else with experience of the other heads?

I play in what has been described as a folk-funk band playing my 51p reissue. So I'm looking in the most part for some nice warm mellow lows to drive the outfit but enough clarity and punch for some funk fingerstyle too. Now my Hartke HA2000 has given up the ghost (on sale here!) I'm looking for a replacement on a tight budget, I dont need huge power as I usually DI on most gigs and my cabs ( 1x12, 1x15) are 200w rated (so max 400w @ 4ohms). With the Hartke HA2000 I got the sound i was after but only after much EQ'ing and addition of the 115. One option is a replacement Hartke. Pros: I do like the tube pre-amp, compression and the versatility of the EQ., I know what I'm getting here. Cons; weight vs small modern heads. I've never tried any of the lighweight heads so need opinions ! The few options i've so far considered: LM250 Black line (Brand new £239) Fender Rumble 350 (used, Ebay £100 bid at the mo, with bag, no longer made?) TC BH250 (£240 Brand New) Hartke 3500/2500 (New £380/180)
