dave_bass5 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 (edited) Seeing as im selling my LMII ill not have a back up rig. I was thinking of getting another small head next year as i will need it for another band but i also wondered if just getting a small, digital power amp and running it from my BDDI might also work, and be cheaper. The main thing is it must be small enough to fit in a suit bag ro gig bag, so no full sized rack gear. I've looked around and there are a few but these are about £400+, i might as well get a second hand head of some sort for that price or a Ashdown LG1000 I know there are some amps designed to go in cars but im not sure how well these work. Any thoughts? Edited December 3, 2010 by dave_bass5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Hmm....personally if you want uber light and pretty powerful, the Shuttle 9.0 can be had for the Nov price drop price of £615 ish....if you ask nicely. That way you have the power of that amp, or the full amp itself, plus its super light. Or, SWR 400W power amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 Cheers Gareth. I cant decide what i want to do. Im selling the LMII as i dont use it at the moment and could do with the money. I will need a small head at some point next year though. If i go that route then i dont want to spend much as it might only be used 3 or 4 times. The other option is to spend more but get rid of my SA450 as well. If i do that then something like the Shuttle would be perfect as ill use it every week and can also carry it around. Im also interested in Clarky's TC classic but i need to look in to that and see what the pro's and cons are, and aslo how it will differ tone wise from the MB heads.....and find the money of course.

If you fancy a change, the Shuttle 9.0 would be different, as would the TC amps. If you sold the SA450, the 9.0 and Classic would make a nice, but different sounding, pair of amps. Of course, thats if you still want two amps, and if you want to sell the SA450! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run it almost flat anyway so im sure any other head would work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
