Members ak50324 Posted June 13, 2006 Members Share Posted June 13, 2006 I Finally settled with my SX(Infield flats, a gotoh bridge, a dimarzio ultra and a geddy lee I found on ebay ) and saved enough to get a decent amp. I can go up to $500 and need enough to be heard over a decently loud primus cover group. I was thinking of this: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/SWR-WorkingPro-12-200-Watt-1x12-Bass-Combo-Amp?sku=481993 or this: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-Bassman-150-Bass-Combo-Amp?sku=480872 I was hoping I could add an 15" extension later, so i was leaning to the SWR. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe an Ampeg B2? Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sunburstbasser Posted June 13, 2006 Members Share Posted June 13, 2006 As said, a used GK amp is a great choice. An 800RB will eat both of those combos you posted for sheer volume and they sound great too. Match it with a used Peavey cab, or new Avatar, and you should be able to stay under your budget and get an excellent rig that will serve you as long as you are satisfied with it.

Members HORSE Posted June 13, 2006 Members Share Posted June 13, 2006 I like the new line of workingman's combos! That 12er looks nice.... Would be perfect as a small gig amp. Hmmm.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know often I totally forget about Peavey? I have to change that because their stuff is really good. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the looks of those amps, and I'd probably own one if I hadn't read a lot about how they are somewhat underpowered for their ratings (WM's, haven't heard much about the WP series). I love SWR Pro stuff. If they've gotten the power a bit better than when they came out, they'd make excellent amps for all kinds of stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
