pburrows Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 I've tried not to post this question thinking I can work out an answer for myself but I'd love some opinions on this. I just swapped my Class D Streamliner 600 for a trace head. RA350SMX. Man, it sounds so sweet. I love it. But it's too big for using in the house. So I'm planning to spend approx £250 to get another compact amp to use in the house with my BF Super Compact. I may even be tempted to take this amp down to rehearsal and who knows perhaps a small gig! Btw I play in a hard rock 5 piece so LOUD. Main focus is home practice, nice to have rehearsal ability, and even better. Gig,back line. What's your thoughts guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 There's are amps by Ampeg, Rumble, TC and Markbass all at or near your budget in the first 2 pages of the Amps and Cabs for Sale section of the BC Classifieds. Bass Direct has a brand new TE Elf which comes in at £250 and a used Hartke HA2500 for less than £200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzBass4624 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Why do you think it's too big ? I practice at home on my LM III with only 1 cab connected (350w) but with the volume knob rolled back. No probs with neighbours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pburrows Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) Why do you think it's too big ? The Fun Prevention Officer says it's too big and wants it out of the lounge. In fairness it's inside a 4u flight case. So I want something nice and compact to use. I know all the usual suspects but wanted to hear your opinions if poss.

dannybuoy Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 One option is keep the amp and cab in storage and use a little combo in the house? The PJB Double Four is the size of a shoebox for example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japhet Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Should have kept your Streamliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Why not play through headphones? Use your budget to buy something like a PJB Bass Buddy (other gadgets are available) and your Fun Prevention Officer will love you even more than she does already. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
