Lord Sausage Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I currently have a Marshall head, Peavey speakers Bass rig. However, just joined a covers band doing pub circuit. Don't need anything that loud or cumbersome to lug about. So i'm in the market for a combo that will have enough power to sound strong in that setting. I have about £300 to spend. Anyone know of anything decent new or second hand. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colledge Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 i'd highly recommend a trace elliot combo. Every one that i've played through seemed to produce a wall of sound with tone to boot. They're not exactly light... but a 1x15 combo aint exactly massive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For £300 you can get a really reasonable Trace combo. Or, if you can stretch the extra £50, this will set you in really good stead - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=93810"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=93810[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, both channels can be blended. I used one in a heavy rock band, and was plenty powerful enough. And its definately worth checking out Hartke - versatile, powerful, and not usually too heavy.

perogato Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 + 1 for the Hartke suggestion. And check the 'amp for sale' section, there was a nicely priced Trace V-type combo [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=95061"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=95061[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
