stoker Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Thinking about getting a new practice amp as my little HiWatt is starting to show it's age a bit. Tempted by the Vox Pathfinder but if anyone can suggest anything else I could look at it would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizznit Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) What's your budget? Do you just want to use it for home practice or have enough power on tap for a full band rehearsal? Edited May 8, 2013 by shizznit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 There's an EBS Session 60 going in the BC marketplace at the moment. I'd go for that :-) http://basschat.co.uk/topic/205971-for-sale-ebs-session-60-combo-as-new-l175/page__pid__2070297#entry2070297 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoker Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Just practice at home and a £50-£90 budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoker Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 I am quite tempted to see if I can track down a T-60 combo from the turn of the century. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Many on here seem to rate the Line 6 Lowdown 15 - and having herd these amps, I can see why. There`s one on evilbay at present for £100. Other than that, my faves are either the Ampeg BA108, or Fender Rumble 15. Both have a nice rich warm sound to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoker Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 I do like a rich warm sound. I'll have to have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omikin Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I picked up a 4 month old Fender Rumble 15 from eBay for £31 last month. I used to have an Orange Crush 35 and this is smaller, lighter, and with a much nicer tone. Definitely spot on for home practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Line6 Lowdown 110, should find one second without much issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimcroisdale Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I wish I'd had a small practice amp when I first started. I played unamplified and developed a hard-hitting style (just to hear myself) that took years to undo. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I still suffer from that, and that`s due to when i started playing in a loud band with an under-powered combo. I should have grown out of it by now, but it`s kind-of "me". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoker Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 Luckily amplification on the band front is not a problem. It's just for home noodling there is no point firing up the 300W Trace as we like a our neighbours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
