Members Christopher Kai Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 I'm a worship leader and need a bass amp for our worship team that would serve these purposes: The room is more wide than it is deep and seats about 250 - 300. I want to keep it under $500 if I could... Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BoundandBlocked Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 Why not ask the bass players that will be playing this amp what they think? My church bought this combo before I started playing there: I've never liked that thing and ended buying my own combo that I cart back and forth every time I play. If they would've asked me, I could've recommended something better that would suit the style, room, and volume needs better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ender_rpm Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 + 1 on asking the bass players. However, my old church bought a Fender 400Pro 210 the first year they came out, and I ended up liking it so much I now use the 800 Pro head in my main rig. Probbaly would have never tried a Fender bass amp myself, but using it there convinced me. YMMV, of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Banta Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 I'm a worship leader and need a bass amp for our worship team that would serve these purposes: Ampeg BA-112 will work perfect, but you will need to run it through the PA. Price: $230-$280. I have used mine in church for 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Emprov Posted December 16, 2008 Members Share Posted December 16, 2008 Why not ask the bass players that will be playing this amp what they think? The acoustics in most churches sucks big time, I'm not sure that he'd get a better answer by going to his bass players. Keep in mind also that much of the time, the position of a church musician is a revolving door so the players that he has now aren't necessarily the players that he'll have a year from now. Plus, if the players don't like what he buys, they'll probably be more than welcome to haul their own rigs in and use them -- no way he's going to be able to give everyone their ideal solution. Having played in quite a few churches, having a BA115/112/210 on site is an extreme luxury compared to some of the stuff that's been made available to me. And don't forget, he *is* asking bass players, just not his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A musician who is probably not a bass player who is asked to step in. In my case there was the Ampeg amp metioned above and a First Act bass used to teach the kids.
