The new band I'm playing with won't play without me having a head and an 8x10. Suggestions? I don't really wanna spend a huge amount of money though which is the bad thing, so something thats cheap but sounds good.

If they run bass thru the PA you probably don't need a 8x10.

Anyway, I'd suggest buying a used cab, and head, just to save some cash. Look on the TB classifieds near you for local sales, and check craigslist/kijiji. |

If they're just looking for a big rig on stage, maybe consider two Avatar 4X10's? It would be inexpensive, and look real big. Then maybe a head or power/pre setup, whatever makes ya happy. |

I run this from time to time when I need to fill a 40-acre pasture for a BBQ-on the hoof and I can swamp the whole area.
Personally, I love to run that combo as I firmly believe that a bass and amp should stand on their own two feet and not bother with a DI to the PA at all.
That should satisfy them
Test drive one at GC.

Used of course. |

If I were pro-ing around, that's what I'd go for too.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Johannesburg, South Africa | | | you'll probably find you need at least an 810 just to hear yourself even at practice with those mesa triple recs... believe me, your 210 will NOT cut it there unless they play very very softly at prac.
If you are serious about joining a band that is at that level then get serious about your gear. |
