Members zenfascist Posted October 2, 2005 Members Posted October 2, 2005 I would recommend against buying anything from Rogue. Terrible products, terrible company. You'd be better off with anything else.
Members Rhythmalism Posted October 2, 2005 Members Posted October 2, 2005 Normally I'd say keep as much distance between your bass and any Rouge gear as possible, but for $60, play it until it fries . I wish I could have that 10 minutes of my life back where I wasted it playing on a friend's weezing little Rogue. That thing was the opposite of tone. I'm scarred for life.
Members Retrovertigo Posted October 2, 2005 Members Posted October 2, 2005 Peavey MINX 110or Fender Rumble The Ibanez Derek mentioned might not be a bad way to go, either. Just - STAY AWAY FROM "ROGUE" (unless its an Alembic)
Members bonscottvocals Posted October 2, 2005 Members Posted October 2, 2005 All right, for the extra money, this amp: Ibanez SW35 35 Watt bass amp will do you much better. If $100 is tops, then try the Ibanez SW20. I've played through both, but I went with the 100 watt version for practice. Notice that they each have RCA inputs for your cd/mp3 player. They both each have headphone outs as well. You could also check out the Fender Rumble or the Behringer BX300. I've done a side-by-side with all of these amps, and though they weren't loud enough for me to practice with (hey, I've got a huge practice space with no concern for neighbors), each had strong points at low, apartment or concern for mom and dad volumes. Good luck and keep on rockin!

I have one of these minus the cd input, I think its an older model. I don't even use it for bass anymore as it can't handle lows at all. The thing just buckled at the hands of my T40. I still use it but only for electric guitar, its pretty good for that except it has no overdrive, but I guess thats a good thing, I don't want to stray to far from bass.

How big is the speaker on that thing? It's hardly surprising it can't take the low frequencies.
Members T. Alan Smith Posted October 2, 2005 Members Posted October 2, 2005 Peavey Minx or Roland Cube.
Members danthepersonage Posted October 2, 2005 Members Posted October 2, 2005 Did anybody read the reviews on the Musicians friend website? Rogue probably shouldn't be continuing that amp.
Members bassman1956 Posted October 2, 2005 Members Posted October 2, 2005 I've got one of these: http://www.bosscorp.co.jp/products/en/CUBE-30_BASS/specs.html I'm pretty impressed with it as a practice amp!
Members DanTolen Posted October 2, 2005 Members Posted October 2, 2005 Originally posted by danthepersonage Did anybody read the reviews on the Musicians friend website?

Members hobobot009 Posted October 2, 2005 Members Posted October 2, 2005 Originally posted by Archon_113 How big is the speaker on that thing? It's hardly surprising it can't take the low frequencies. It uses a 6" speaker
Members zachoff Posted October 2, 2005 Members Posted October 2, 2005 Step up to the Ibanez Soundwave & you'll be happier. The Peavey Minx is good and can be had cheap on eBay. The Roland Cube is nice, but more than you want to spend.

Members guitaristbum Posted October 4, 2005 Author Members Posted October 4, 2005 so ya'll are saying a roland 30 cube bass version?
