fdavidso Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Money and size apart, is there a negative side to buying a high powered combo, if one is not going to have it turned up? So, Say I plumped for a 250 Ashdown T15 250S from Thomann but mainly used it to practice with, will I never get to the output levels that provide the right depth of tone? Would I be better going for the 180 Electric Blue and having it cranked up a bit further, or indeed a 50-100 watt combo. I do need it to jam with pals so it has to cut other instruments, but not a drummer. Dyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escholl Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 There are instances where more power is not better, however solid-state bass amps are not one of those cases , and in this case I think you should likely get the most powerful combo that you can afford. Besides, that T15 looks nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having played a Peavey Century 100 watt head into a 1 x 18 Carlsbro cab in my youth and now plucking through a mighty 2.5 watt Roland MicroCube, I've had the extremes of size Glad to hear that tone stays at low volume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
