tiffen Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Hi I have bought a line 6 bass pod and it works well through our 1200watt PA system. I would like to buy myself a light weight monitor so that I dont give my self a hernia lumpimg the rest of my equipment. I have no idea of what I need. Any advice would be greatful Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 What monitors are with the PA currently? (If they're adequate, get another...) Otherwise there are allsorts of decent powered monitor/PA cabs that could suit depending on your budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiffen Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 Hi, They are only using 2 out front speakers, I wanted to use my bass pod but buy my own monitor to hear what I am playing and cut down on carrying heavy amps etc. I am vey limited on technical knowledge on setting up PA systems and add ons. I normally take my amp and plug and go. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Savage Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 If you're putting bass through it you want a 15" ideally - I've heard good things about the Studiospares Fortissimo range and they're apparently identical to Studiomaster's VPX series, which I have used and quite like: [url="http://www.studiospares.com/PA-Speakers/Studiospares-Fortissimo-15A-Active-Single/invt/248260"]http://www.studiospares.com/PA-Speakers/St...gle/invt/248260[/url] There's also Wharfedale at the budget end of the market, who are making some decent stuff.

tiffen Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Hi Thanks for the reply, I was looking to spend £200 max on second hand. That one you linked to e-bay would have been perfect. Now I will look for another similar. Thanks for the response. I am more concerned about weights but at least I know a little mor about the wattage I need when looking.
