bassmachine2112 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Roland db700 will do the trick,great combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomBass Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Don't overlook any of the Trace 15" combos. Even the 130w GP7SM combos are very loud, and have great tone shaping. And they are built to last. Cheers Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Firefly Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 No, not a typo, TNT 150. Well, thats what it said on the face !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 My first proper bass amp was a Laney 2x10 combo, it was sufficient for most gigs and the tone was great. Boosted a little midrange at 1.3k and it really cut through with some tasty growl. Peavey are Peavey, great tone, loud and indestructible!

Diablo Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I've got a Laney RB7 which is a 2x10 combo. I don't think I've had it turned up over 6.... it shifts some serious air. Built like an MDF outhouse. Sounds a bit "twangy" at low volumes which I use for practice at home, but picks its skirt up and gets going when you start turning it up. It also has lots of buttons, most of which I leave alone! The only problem I've found with it is the rear bass ports. Now if you own a cat (or a cat owns you, as you please) and it likes ratting - you can guess what is coming. Now image ratty having a nice kip in his felt lined cat-proof house. All of a sudden someone opens the gates of hell in your bedroom :-) I did not know he was living in there, I hope his tinnitus has subsided. I had to take the cab to bits to get all the cats food out of the amp. The useless cat had allowed ratty to steal his biscuits and stack them in the amp which doubled as his bedroom.

JamesXP Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 +1 on the TE stuff... had a GP7 130 1x15 combo as my first amp. got it for around 100 quid ish and it never missed a beat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Today I noticed a Laney 300w 1x15 combo second hand in town for £120. It was heavier than I expected. The front grill was made of some tough seeming material, not just a cloth grill. It looked very much like this: http://www.musicworks.co.nz/bass-combos/rb8-laney-richter-300w-1x15-bass-combo/ But, the Laney logo on the front had something else written on it, e.g. "mad <something or other>". Does anyone know what model of amp it's likely that I've seen. It looked very much like the RB8, but I'm wondering if it's an earlier model. From looking around, it seems that there were some other models around before the series was named "RB", but I can't find a 1x15" model. Any help/advice/opinions would be appreciated. I think I'm likely to wait longer to buy something, but while this amp is available at what seems a reasonable price, I do want to check it out.

The rehearsal studio I used to use had one of these and I wasn't keen on it. It seemed to have no real lows or highs and needed heavy EQ just to get a sound I could live with. As affordable 1x15" combos go, a Peavey TNT or Ashdown Mag 1x15" would be better IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoying Twit Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Yes, I'm pretty sure that it was a Hardcore Max, now that you prod my imperfect memory. Thanks for the feedback, I think I'll give this amp a miss. I'm not 100% sure what sort of amp I want, so 300w/1x15" isn't something I have my mind set on. I'm just keeping my eye out for something local to see what turns up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
