B100 Acoustic bass combo?

[twangman]

anyone ever try this? would it be good for gigs? please let me know any experience you have had with this amp.

decent, not great, i could see it struggling on rock gigs very easily, but is decent for the money.

If you're gigging, I'd go for the B200 which is plenty loud and sounds quite good.

dont mean to dig up old bones, but anyone here ever get away with playing a gig with this particular amp? or maybe another 100 watt combo? if so let me know how it went will ya?

Dodger Stadium - NO.

A bar or indoor party - YEAH

100 Watts will get lost.

200 Watts is just on the cusp of getting stomped on by a guitar and drums though.

300 Watts is in my opinion, just almost enough. I went to 600 Watts and it fits everywhere.

I played 120 Watts on a 115 for a while and pretty much gave up getting anything nice and audible outta it,

If you bought it already, keep it for a practice amp - it'll do that very well.

And I love the Acoustic Gen-II stuff a lot.

i have it and gig with it. its great! my guitarists have 100 watt Fender amps and they always tell me to lower my volume! im guessing your looking into this amp because you might have the money to buy an ampeg, i feel ya, dont listen to these guys, well they do know what they're talking about but not everyone can afford a stack. its great! nothing comes close for the price

I just popped up the website for the Chain Reaction and the front page tells me that you could hear a bilabial fricative easier in that place than a 100 Watt amp!

Take a look and tell me that the guy on the front page is singing softly to his grandmother!

BTW: That looks like the same club that Bill Medley owned.
