Angel Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 My trusty old Roland Micro Bass Cube RX Combo has died. I may well get the same thing again as I rather liked it, but I was just wondering if there is anything else out there that people like/recommend? Needs to be small so that the wife doesn't complain about it! Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudpup Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) I have a Positive Grid Spark 40 and rather like it. Does loads of other stuff as well.... It has a selection of bass amps built in to it. https://www.guitarplayer.com/reviews/positive-grid-spark-review Edited December 8, 2021 by Mudpup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binky_bass Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Ashdown B-Social. Massively underrated bits of kit. Comes with a wireless dongle so you can play unplugged, you can also run a backing track via Bluetooth while running two instruments via the two inputs, so you can have 3 instruments and a backing track running simultaneously. Very handy for a full band jam! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naxos10 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 How about an Ashdown Studio Junior, currently £79 at guitarguitar. 15w and has an aux input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Depending on your budget and power needed there are these two Joyo amps : https://www.thomann.de/gb/joyo_ma_10b_portable_bass_amp.htm https://www.thomann.de/gb/joyo_badass.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 What's your budget? Some nice tiny amps out there like the Markbass 801, PJB Double Four & M7 and the Trace Elf 1x10 combo. Could always have a look at the little 6" house jam cab build on here and pair it with a nano head like a TC Bam or Warwick Gnome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather keep under £200 I guess but that's not cast in stone. It's just something to noodle at home with. I looked at your suggestions, all nice but I'd say more than I intend to sped.

Won't work for me needing a cab though The small one, I can't believe it's any good for £33! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And some of the clean guitar amp models work really work for bass as well - it's just labels....The media integration is really good, headphone sound is excellent and the tiny speakers are ok at home practice volumes.

TheGreek Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I have both a GK Backline 10 and 12" combos. The 10" has been with me since I started playing again 12 years ago - great little amps - work for home practice and for rehearsal in small spaces. Loud enough to compete with guitars and drums. If you shop around you'll find one for around £100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyt Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 If you like the Cube and have a budget of around £200, the Cube-30 (or 20) is a good bet. Great little practice amp, and have also got quite a bit of oomph if you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
