Members skatalite Posted August 2, 2007 Members Share Posted August 2, 2007 I want a small combo for my room, and I'm thinking 40+ watts would be best. I'll be using a SansAmp through it, so out-of-the-box tone isn't as important as reliability and awesomeness. Here are the ones I'm interested in. Let me know what you guys think or, if you have any other suggestions, suggest! My limit is $200. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Crate-BT50-Bass-Combo-Amp?sku=487805 http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Behringer-Ultrabass-BXL450-45W-1x10-Bass-Combo?sku=481100 http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Nemesis-N8-40W-1x8-Bass-Combo-Amp?sku=488215 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitargod0dmw Posted August 2, 2007 Members Share Posted August 2, 2007 No Crate of Behringer!!! Why not just get a 1X12 cab and use your GK head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wilki29 Posted August 2, 2007 Members Share Posted August 2, 2007 Behringers aren't so good these days. they arent that bad either. I wouldnt say they are great, but they get the job done, and are cheap. If your looking for a practice amo, its pretty solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members T. Alan Smith Posted August 2, 2007 Members Share Posted August 2, 2007 Well, if what your saying is you want a personal practice amp for home use mostly, then with your budget, I'd give Peavey's new 1x12 a try. I thought it sounded pretty nice ...especially for the price. If you had a bigger budget, I'd be looking at Roland's Cube 100, or Ashdown's Perfect Ten as well.

Members skatalite Posted August 2, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 2, 2007 No Crate of Behringer!!! Why not just get a 1X12 cab and use your GK head? Cause I keep everything at our practice space, so it would be a small hassle to bring my entire rack home for practice. And I'm just looking for something cheap but decent. I will never use it at a gig and it will probably never leave my room. I won't crank it, either. But I want something loud enough to fill some air.

I understand you not wanting to lug the rack back and forth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JeffBass Posted August 2, 2007 Members Share Posted August 2, 2007 I know a lot of people will jump on the Nemesis (because of the name) but the Crate and the Behringer would probably out-perform it because they specialize in good-cheap combos. My Behringer BX300 (30w, 10" speaker) absolutely smokes and is built well. The Crate is very cool because it has 2 channels and a built-in tuner. In a pinch you could probably rehearse with it because it has extra power and a 12" speaker. I would go with the Crate but you can try both of them out at Guitar Center before you choose.

Members skatalite Posted August 2, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 2, 2007 What I'd love is to find a used Ampeg BA115. My first amp ever and sold it to get a half-stack. Wish I never would have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members johnny6644 Posted August 2, 2007 Members Share Posted August 2, 2007 If I can sell my other Nemesis amp, I'm going to get one of those little Nemesis practice amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chunky-b Posted August 2, 2007 Members Share Posted August 2, 2007 I love my Peavey MAX 112 combo, but I am biased since I grew up down the street from the Peavey plant in Meridian, MS... Its plenty loud to practice at home and I started just this week using it for rehearsals with a new church group and I was told to turn it down by the leader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
