Mikeg Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 im looking at buying a new amp as my little marshal has recently died. im going to do it properly and buy a mid range amp. ive played through the TC electronic classic 450 and i loved it, but unless i can get it second hand it's a tad expensive. i havnt tried ashdown abm's or trace elliots. Any opinions on these? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voxpop Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hi there, Can you give us a few clues as to what bass and style of music you play and what cab you use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a 2x10 im not playing massive gig's so the power doesnt need to be massive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_5 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 The Hartke Hydrive 410 is great for both slap and metal, as they're REALLY punchy, a little bit warmer / bottomy than the all aluminium drivers. I run mine with a LH1000, and have always got the tone I need to hand, not the most versatile of heads though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 How much are you looking to spend? MarkBass & Genz Benz amps can be had for @ £350 & would do you proud. Lightweight & loud. If you're looking for a 2x10 combo, Monkonthehill is (or maybe was) selling his Markbass 2x10 combo (same as mine) & they'll cope with anything you throw at it. I play rock, folk & bass heavy electro stuff & it sounds the nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
