badboy1984 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I've bought second hand practice combo today but when i plug it in it distorts ....... even at low volume and cut all the bass. Is a Warwick Blue Cab 15 Possible the speaker is damage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboy1984 Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 I've tried all my basses and it distorts on both passive and active. I've also plug a acoustic guitar in and the sound is fine ...... i guess my bass is too hot for the practice amp ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBus Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I once tried a Trace Elliot 30 watt bass amp, in a shop I might add, and it distorted straight away. I don't think low watt amps are that great for bass. Just in my experience. There will now be plenty who say they are great. I'd go for something around 60 to 70 watts.

badboy1984 Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 My Ashdown perfect 10 mini stack 60watt with 2x10 is probably the best low watt amp i play. This warwick blue cab 15 just put me off from buying any low watt amps now ...... The kick back style is good but the sound is way too distort for my taste even at low volume. It sounded perfect when using headphone. Must be the speaker can't handle the low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomBass Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 That's a real shame. Any chance of getting your money back? If you are still looking for a small but decent practice amp, I'd recommend looking around for a used Roland Cube 30 Bass. I've had one for a few years and it is phenomenal in terms of build, sound and volume. It also has several amp models, some effects and a compressor. You can run an MP3 through it, and use headphones too. Highly recommended, although proably a bit pricier than the Warwick.
