[quote name='Grant' timestamp='1334168402' post='1611993'] Hi Bri, You're right, the GK MB210 doesn't have a detatchable head, but do you need it to be removable? It's an advantage if you're doing sessions or whatever, so you can keep "your sound", but the MB210 only weighs 16kg in total, which, believe me, is an incredible advantage when it comes to getting your gear in and out of venues. My bass goes over my shoulder (straps, y'see..) case for accessories in one hand, amp in the other! Simples! Gear moved in one hit - definitely good when it's raining... I haven't tried the Promethean, the MarkBass is out of my price range and the Harley Benton is a little[i] too[/i] cheap (I'm such a snob...) so I can't really comment on those amps, but the GK does what I want it to. I use a passive jazz bass, played fingerstyle it is incredibly warm sounding, played with a pick, it sounds hard, with plenty of attack. The bottom end is tremendous for a 2 x 10, so much so that I intend to buy a stand for it as a lot of the low end goes through the floor. So, to recap - 16kg, 300w, £480. You pay yer money, you makes yer choice. I love it. [/quote] cheers Grant its definately in the shortlist. im playing a sandberg active bass fingerstyle through a peavey tnt thats about 20yrs old now and was playing up a few weeks ago. its fixed now but ive decided its just too damn heavy. im playing pubs and clubs from small to medium and want the best of both worlds like everyone. small size big sound loads of headroom. another sugestion in the forum thread 'promethean clone' clone was a redbox very similar to the promethean but i could get a 2 x 10 cab to go with it as well for only a little more than the GK set up. decisions decisions......... shame about the Ampeg though but it just didnt cut the mustard in rehearsals Bri

nice one Eude thanks for the suggestions and links so the promethean (or similar) with an extension would comfortably do a packed pub gig? just wanna be heard without having to max the lot out cheers Bri

hello looking to replace my combo amp and am looking for something portable but loud enough for medium sized pubs just got an ampeg ba115hp but it just didnt seem to cut it at rehearsal against a loud drummer and 2 guitars and so is gonna go back to the shop. would the promethean cut it or am i going to left looking for aditional cabs etc? also wondering if its worth the extra money against the similar red sub or the Harley benton, if it is id pay it but also been considering the GK 2x10 lightweight combo although that doesnt have the detachable amp head. Mark bass 2 x 10 looks the buisness but at £950 new its out of my range. need to move quick so advice and help gratefully recieved cheers Bri

forgot to mention i need to move fast so help and advice please!

[quote name='JayPH' timestamp='1333143521' post='1598206'] Am very tempted. I hate GAS. I don't really need another bass but everyone else has more than one ... [/quote] not me anymore I sold my two stingrays and am just getting to grips with my Basic 4. if I get on with it like im hoping i will upgrade to a ken taylor or a Cali nce slim necks and well built but more importantly they sound great!
