Jimbogubson Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Hi folks, have been looking at getting one of these as my first bass amp. Has any one had experience of them? I've read some stuff which was dated a couple of years ago, that they have a tendency to go up in smoke. how capable of gigging are they? (pubs & jam nights) they seem very well priced at the moment. Any alternative recommendations? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiriusBlack Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I have one and they are brilliant and very reliable. In fact I am selling mine for a VERY good price. PM me if you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodinblack Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I have the 112, which is obviously the same amp, and have gigged it extensively in pubs and a few outdoor events this year without incident. It has been faultless and never left me wanting anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbogubson Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 Cheers for that fellas. I will pass up on the second hand one though. They are only £259 at the moment so I think if I do decide to go for it, I'll get a shiny new one with a warranty just incase it goes bang! I was told by one of the shops that it's only 125 watts until an extension cab is plugged in which brings it up to the full 250w. Is this correct?

Woodinblack Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 No, it doesn't have an output for an external cab anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Buy a new one as mine went pop and was out of warranty. I would assume they have solved whatever problem they had by now. The combo is rated at 250 watts into the fitted 4 ohm speaker. Mine was loud enough for pub gigs and I was quite happy with it until it went up in smoke.

King Tut Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 My old one was reliable. I sold it on and it now pays it's dues being abused at a local jam night. Volume wise it should stand up to pub gigs (unless stupid loud) or bigger gigs with PA support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbogubson Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Thanks for the input folks. I picked one up last week from Andertons.it seems like it should do the job nicely although I did try out the mark bass jb school player as well which I think did sound better, but was a hundred quid more and as I am new to this bass playing lark, I didn't want to spend too much just yet!
