bassintheface Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 As the title, I'm in the market for a small ish, but quality home practice combo - ideally with headphone output plus an AUX in. I've had a quick look at the Phil Jones BG75 - any good? Any other similar recommendations? I guess the other option is some decent monitors, an interface and and a decent pre like a bass buddy or similar?? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landwomble Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 TC electronics BG250 208. Nice and small, great tone, 250w amo, built in tuner, TonePrint effects, line in and decent DI. Plus you can add a second cab for bigger gigs. They're cracking bits of kit. I might also have one for sale on eBay right now...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Pepper Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I was recently looking for a small combo for home / small gig / monitor. I looked at Fender Rumble (which I use as my main gigging rig), Markbass, TC and ended up walking out with a GK MB110. 10", 100W, DI out, nice EQ, very, very lightweight, aux in, headphone socket and the option to add one of their powered cabs at a later date if required. I even used it at a small wine bar gig the other night (as a monitor for my EUB). I'm really impressed and all for less than £300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El_JimBob Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Markbass Micromark 801 is well worth a look... tiny and light, but can go quite low and punchy if you need it to, even at low volume... I love mine - even manage to gig with it minus PA support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go straight into an interface into Logic, and out through headphones. If you buy the lowest latency interface you can afford, you can use the EQs, compressors and a million different plugins in your DAW to shape your tone. I personally don't use any of that, literally straight in and that's it, love the dry tone just as it is. Decent headphones and / or monitors are essential though.

Japhet Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Roland Bass Cubes are great. The XL in particular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Dunky Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Do you have a budget in mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassintheface Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 Cheers guys. Will do some more research. Re budget and this is only just something I've thought of, but I do have an Ibanez artcore 5er for sale in the classifieds - I might alter the trade options to include amp / studio gear etc..... I guess around £500 max. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
