Twincam Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I fancy getting an all valve amp (Just the head) for home bassing and will plug it into a bass cab. I know of course there's bass amps suitable for this, however they all tend to be a bit on the expensive side. Every time I see a used one that is suitable, it's miles away! Wish I never sold my 15w wem that was a cracking home amp (essentially also a guitar amp). So thought might try a cheap guitar one. Does anyone know of ones suitable for bass, only has to do home playing volumes, needs to stay clean at that volume though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem OK - I bought a Pf-50t from them recently, which had a minor valve issue, and while there was a bit of a communication mixup between them and the distributor over the return, they did get things sorted out. And others have have had a much smoother experience with them than I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any time I’ve been into one of their stores, Dunfermline or Glasgow, they have been helpful and knowledgeable. A long standing Scottish guitar shop...what’s not to like?

Paddy515 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Got my son (a guitarist) a Fender Ramparte last Xmas for £199 - not hard wired so can play into a bass cab through it. Gives a fine account of its self in the home. One for sale on Gtree for 200 atm. Edited September 25, 2018 by Paddy515 extra info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 A play through a fender vaporiser, seems to work for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aitkenaudio Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 pretty much any non super high gain will work as long as you don't use guitar speakers, unless you're after the high gain sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
