Funky Dunky Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) Sorry....I know these threads suck because everybody is looking for something different, but I'm looking for a combo amp which: 1. Does not weigh a ton (or tonne) 2. Has plenty of bottom end 3. Is giggable 4. Doesn't colour the tone of the bass too much. I don't need any features but if it has features, grand. New or used will be considered. I have a Sterling Sub Ray 4 and a Squier VM Precision PJ if that helps :-) Edit - I realise this is practically a repeat thread given the other one on the page about £450 combos. Sorry.

Lozz196 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Fender Rumble 500 if going for new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Dunky Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 What's the deal with these puppies, I hear them mentioned in the same breath as Genz Benz....something about circuitry is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Well Fender bought Genz Benz, suddenly GB amps are no more, and then just as suddenly the Rumble Series get a re-vamp. I think many see this as more than a coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskit_case Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Does the rumble 500 need the extra cab to put out the full 500w? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Yes, apparently puts out 350 watts at 8ohms without the ext cab connected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebenezer Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 A nice second hand markbass 2....plenty loud enough, good tone, in fact mine seems as loud as the genzbenz streamliner 900 I used to own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leroydiamond Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I purchased The cheap as chips Kustom KXB500 as a back up for my Puma 900 and Tone Hammer 500. Well the Kustom is now my go to amp. It is the best micro amp I have ever had. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismuzz Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Markbass 210 combos go on here between 500 and 600, couldn't recommend anything better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Used Genz streamliner - go for about £350 - £400 for the 900 watt version Edit - forgot you didn't want too much colouration - the Streamliner may have to much for you.

Funky Dunky Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 I like the Streamliner. Is that just for the head or will that get me a cab too?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 That's just the head, I apologise, looks like I didn't read your original post very well...... There's always the 600 watt version which will be cheaper and leave you some cash for a cab. At your budget, a Markbass combo sounds ideal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conan Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Does it [b][i]have[/i][/b] to be a combo? Separates would give far more options (and there are a lot more of them about in the for sale section!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
