A new bass amp needed
 
I need a 60watt bass amp , second hand. I need help in choosing what to buy cause i have been using yamaha amp for a long time . I am thinking to buy a fender.

Will that give out a good tone with Ibanez Sgr Series ?

Why does it have to be 60w? That's pretty specific.

What are your objectives.

johnfoolz 01-07-2013 12:41 AM

i need a practice amp ... which is easy to carry and with which i could jam aswell ... that is why i need something close to 60 or 100 watts

What's your budget and what zip code (for CL search)?

roland cube maybe ?

Ok, there are tons of possibilities for good bass amps. If you want something to carry around to anywhere you go, I recommend the micro cube. It's tiny but potent, and although it is a guitar amp bass comes through well on it. For playing live, the Fender BASSMAN '59 is outstanding for a powerful sound. And for practicing, recording, or just jamming, the Fender BRONCO 40 is your best bet. It costs about 200€ in Europe, in the US probably around 300$, maybe less? Anyway, these are, in my experience, some of the best amps.

DON'T BUY ANY IBANEZ GEAR IT WILL FALL APART IN A FEW WEEKS

johnfoolz 01-07-2013 03:56 AM

yeah ... found out when i bought the Sdgr series ...

You need only an amp (you have a cab) or do you need a combo?

i'd get on craigslist and look for an Ampeg BA100. you can find them super cheap. 100 watts. 115. sound awesome.

Always a strong choice.

Agreed on Roland Cubes. They've been a successful design longer than any other, and have always adapted to keep with the times.

stagefumer11 01-07-2013 09:51 PM

Yup, had some fun playing around with one, The effects are great for fiddling . :)

johnfoolz 01-07-2013 10:58 PM

but again with these roland cubes ... are they loud enough to jam and reherse with a band ?

johnfoolz 01-07-2013 10:59 PM

and yeah i need a combo ... not just the amp

Website. Like eBay, but local ads. Bargaining without bidding. You can also finds tons of fenders there since you mentioned maybe getting one.
