Sign in to disble this ad
Hello guys, im going to buy my first bass amp, i want an amp which sounds good, mainly for home practice and maybe for recording and jam with friends, but mainly i want an amp which sounds good maybe bettween 50 and 75 watt. I don't know what amp should i buy, i have chosen these ones:

-Orange Crush PiX CR50BX Combo - 50 watt, 12" speaker.
-Laney RB 3 Combo 65 Watt/12 Zoll - 12" speaker.
-Orange Crush PiX 50BXT BLK Combo Black Tolex - 50 watt 12" speaker.
-Hartke B 600 Combo 60 Watt 1x12" Speaker
-Fender NEW Rumble 75 Combo 75 Watts/ 8 Ohms - 12" speaker

What you think is better?

Hope you help me.
If you have other combos suggestions tell me.

My pick from your list would be the fender rumble, its a great amp at a great price. If I was you, I would also look at some Acoustic amps.

These amps may or may not be loud enough to jam with friends. What would be the typical scenario? What kind of music? Is there a drummer involved?

Any would work, but how they sound, you'll have to play them to know. +1 if you expect to play with a rock band, including a drummer, you will want more power, and especially, more speakers.

I need an amp mainly for home practice, but if you know some good amp, with a nice sound and more power, suggest me pls. I can give max. 250€ for it.

Thanks for helping guys!

I suggest checking out Gallien Krueger MB series combos as well, MB112 or MB115.

Check out your local classifieds for used amps. You'll find your best bang for the $ there, especially starting out.

IMO, IME, you'll want at least 100W. I started with a Fender Rumble 100 and moved on quickly.

+ 1 billion to the classifieds suggestion. Lots of reputable folks here on TB. You can find a gently used amp for about half of what you would pay new or you can get twice as much amp for the same money

Don't let the whole "used" thing hold you back. Much of the gear you find in the classifieds is in better shape than the stuff on display at GC.
