In need of a suggestion
 

:help:

I am in the hunt for a good amp for an ABG, as I am switching gears and going to start working on an acoustic bass folk project and play some stuff like Colin Hodgkinson. I also like to play some Bluegrass stuff with my buddies so being able to project the ABG will definitely be a help especially if we start playing live again.

Does anyone have any prior experience, knowledge or suggestions with this situation? I have looked at everything and just dont know what to get.

Side note: I'm selling my old solid state 100W Ampeg just because I have never really cared for it anyhow. Before someone is a wise guy LOL.

Thanks

Check out Acoustic Image.

Those look really nice! Kinda out of my price range though :/ I should have specified

I am trying to stay around or below 500$ preferred

Maybe a regular acoustic guitar amp?

Any good bass amp will wor. I'd stay away from guitar amps of any sort, as the speakers will not hold up well with bass.

Looks like I should dig for an acoustic image lol

You could do a lot worse.
:D

Haha theyre that good?

Acoustic Image, or Genz Benz Shuttle's do a great job on acoustic bass and are a little more affordable, especially if you can find a used one :)

Really, lots of amps will work...if it's a good clean amplifier

Yes. I really like my Clarus 4.

Well, I found an older AI on the evilbay and made an offer, but if it falls through I will search through some of those Genz's

I figured ANYTHING would work lol as long as it functions, I just wanna get a good sound and tone for the ABG :)

In that case it's true... anything that reproduces sound will work.

AI's are finesse amps. You get your sound, warts and all. So getting the texture of an ABG, with a good cab, is usually a piece of cake.

Some folks call that sterile, others call that accurate. I call it accurate.

Haha! I feel ya
