£900 on an amp!

[Greenacre Andy]

Hey guys

I've been playing electric guitar for around 10 years and have quite a collection of guitars and amps etc. however currently have no bass or bass amp

It needs to be quite versatile, It's first outing will be in a Big Band but it may also be used for things such as Metal, Punk, Pop Rock and in a recording situation.

I'd like something gig-able but only in a 2x10 combo or small head and 2x10 cabinet (I much prefer the sound of 2x10s(ideally ported) over 1x15) Space is quite a premium at the moment, but more than anything it needs to sound great! The amp wont be used so much in the studio as i have a Sansamp RBI which i can use for that.

Thanks very much
Andy

Sorry Andy but I don't think a single 2x10 is appropriate to gig with especially with some of the genres you mention. A pair is a versatile gig rig.

+1 a 210 by itself is great for low to medium volume applications, but gigging(?), and metal(?) no way. You want at least a 4x10, if not more, for that job.
