When I use my Sansamp Paradriver as a preamp, bypassing the pre in the SWR, it sounds really really really good.
The Markbass 121P is just a flat out champion |

| | | | I use a GK MB210. For the price it can't be beat. Nice tone and plenty of power. Light weight . Great for small to medium size venues. For larger venues you have the ability to add another cabinet.

Late 60's Contessa CA-15 Mini Bass. All tube with 12" speaker. Not terribly loud, but has great tone. Has required many repairs over the years. |

Carvin made them for one, maybe two years?

The Bassman 150 (single 12) was also a VERY nice combo at the price. |

| | | | A GK MB210 now. Does a very nice job. And... would you believe... I still have my first combo amp (well, amp of any kind, really)... a Kasino Lounge! A bad 15" speaker and about a 40w amp. Weighs like 80lbs! Strictly for practice, of course.

Sure, its a legacy piece of gear, but it seems bulletproof. And yeah, its a bit on the heavy side, but it just plain works for me. It'll fit in the trunk of the car, and I can lift it into there by myself. I added a Fender BXR-115 cab under it for gigging, and the 2 15s at a rated 160w will work for a smaller venue if the guitards and drummer mind their manners.

|  | Saved by Grace Bass by choice.. | | Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Northern Va. | | | SWR La-15. That was the first amp I bought in 20 years back in 2000. I stlll have it. I used to leave it at our rehearsal space but now it is here in the house.. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2011 Location: Colorado | | | I use a GK MB112 for rehearsals, smaller gigs, and the studio when I want a tight punchy tone and my tc electronic BG250 1x15" when I want more bottom end and a more vintage tonality.
They can handle just about anything I need a combo for and I think they're two of the best bargains in the mid level combo market out there. In either case you can run direct to a FOH PA or to an additional powered cabinet if they gig calls for it.

| | | | Eden Metro - heavy, but sounds good, although not terribly loud.
Roland Cube-60 Bass - Ancient, I bought it used in 1986, had to put a new speaker in it but it's still kicking. Not a great sounding amp, benefits from use of SA BDDI.
