fraff Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) Folks I'm on the look out for an affordable Ampeg set up - relatively speaking anyway! £500 - £600 mark. There are some very different small Ampeg rigs for sale through BC at the moment and my question is whether it's the done thing to get you guys to give your thoughts on the merits of each set up. Don't want to offend the sellers obviously!! If this is a go-er I can edit this thread with some details of the set ups to invite your thoughts! Cheers everyone Ian Edited June 10, 2010 by fraff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munkonthehill Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 yeah I seen a wicked B5R head and 4x10hlf cab going for 600quid, its a 350watt rig but add another 4 ohme cab and you get a 500watt rig. Im no expert, however seems a good deal to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I have 2x10 & 1x15 Ampeg cabs. Both sound great on their own. I also had the BA115U combo for a while which was fine but under your budget by a way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I hasten to add my stuff is not for sale... just saying there are a lot of great configurations out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I'm playing a gig tomorrow with a 50W B50R Rocket Bass Amp. That's about as small an ampeg as there is. However, I've removed the "amp" from the combo and it's plugged into a 1KW CA Audio poweramp and a Schroeder 1212L. Still small like. But bloody loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4x10 will certainly push more air and the the B5R head will give loads of headroom. it all depends on what you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
