Which option?

Sign in to disble this ad
Guys, my first post here.
I have a question for you.
I'm going to USA tomorrow and I will buy an amp.
Basically I play classic rock (CCR, Beatles, Kinks, etc), so I want some classic tone.
After researching this forum I'm between two options:

1. Hartke LH 500
2. Crown Power amp + Tech 21 VT bass deluxe.

I wish I could afford an Orange, but I can't now

So, what's your suggestion?

My current rig:

1. Rickenbacker 4001 - 1974
2. Rickenbacker 4003v63
3. Danelectro LongHorn
4. Behringer head 300watts
5. Handmade 4x10 (Electro harmonix speakers)

Thank you for your attention and sorry about my english.

Where will you be plugging it in? ie: your home country. I'd think you'd need to consider the power supply.

Sell one of the Rics and get yourself a decent amp, maybe even the Orange, you won't regret it.

I'd go ith the Hartke, but I tend to go with simplicity. What's your budget?

Don't want to spend more than U$700.

Thanks

So, you're going to use your current cabinet? Make sure you check out the Peavey Tour 450 or 700, which are also well within your price range and very sturdy.

Ampeg B4r or G-K 1001Rb-II and a VT bass pedal. Great tone, no upkeep cost. I think your english is very good. Try to buy used, you will save a lot of money and be able to get a much better amp than you could at new prices. Cheers.

699 buys a Markbass LM3 800 in the US. I'd consider that. It'll fit in your carry on bag.
