Is the modelling any good? As in does it sound close to what it's pretending to be? And 2. Does including digital effects in a low price amp mean that they skimp on the other parts?

Ideally I'd like to be able to hold my bass case in one hand and the amp in the other.

Hi there, first real post outside of the marketplace. I'm going to London to go to Tech Music School this Autumn to I'm minimizing my kit down to one good bass (my CIJ 51 Precision) and a good practice amp so there aren't any logistical problems moving it 240 miles every holiday and hopefully making some money in the process (London is pricey!). What I'm after is a small (1x10") practice amp that has a more professional tone than most practice amps, i.e. not the kind of thing that comes in a box with a beginner bass if you get my drift. So far I've been recommended a Hartke A35 (£60 within budget) and an EBS Classic 60 (£40 out of budget) I've still got a while to decide as I'm not buying anything until I've sold my big Ashdown monster (currently in the Marketplace ) which I am selling for £200, hence the budget, so I'd like to collect as many opinions as possible by then. I would go to try them out but I've no transport and my local shop likes to taunt me with their loverly Markbass and TC Electronic stuff which couldn't be more out of budget! So, gentlemen, any recommendations? Jon

Hi guys! Been posting here for quite a while but almost exclusively in the Marketplace. My name is Jon. I'm almost 20. I have a fetish for Fender and Markbass (yet to own a Markbass, *sadface*.) I usually post on another forum, whose name shall not be mentioned, but, while I'm still fond of the regulars, I got rather tired of "Hi is this (picture of pointy bass) bass good? I play mainly metal" posted by someone with far to many Xs in their name, day in day out. I can be incredibly opinionated about things I have no understanding of. I cannot solder to save my life. Despite my love of funk and jazzhop bass lines, I constantly find myself part of metal bands, none of which get to the gigging stage. My first inspiration to play bass was Geezer Butler though my current idol is Tim Commerford, particularly his work in Audioslave. I am overly fond of using commas and parentheses. My current rig consists of a '51 CIJ Precision with TI Flats and (when it finally arrives) a SD Quarter Pounder, a Skylark Plexiglass 5 string with Hidef Pink Neon strings (bling-bling) and a load of amps and pedals that I am trying to unload in order to have a more manageable rig that will fit into the back of a car for when I start a diploma/degree at Tech Music School this October. So hello.

Quick delivery, 5* service!
