Hey thank you everyone for all your insights! I didn't expect to have so much replies, you are awesome and a great community! I have a lot to test now based on your suggestions. I appreciate all the suggestions you gave to me. Thanks again!

I may upgrade it in the future as the band evolve. It's in the todo list! Thanks for the offer, I would like to try other options before I settle on a final decision

The Rumble 500 is definitely on my tryout list. So far I have so many products to try, it would have been easier to ask for what not to buy haha.

You're right in saying that new combos are in budget, but for rental there is much less choices. I thought that a used rig could be a good idea for having higher quality.

I'm in Quebec, near Quebec city.

Guys you are awesome! To S.F.Sorrow, I do have a good collection of guitar amps. My oldest ones are - Traynor Bass Master '72 - Fender Princeton '69 modified into a head - Fender TwinReverb '75 modified into a combo with 2 Altec 417-8C I thought to use the Traynor but the lack of controls made...

Hey thank you for all your replies. There is a lot of infos and advices there hehe! I may be more confused now! I will take all of this into account and rent some material before buying, great idea.

Good point Bill, I would not like to have a big 8x10 as the kit will be stored upstairs. If possible I would like small parts, like an amp head and cabs of 1-4 speakers max.

Hello and thank you for your reply. I am in Canada so it may explain why the prices are higher. I'll check for these other brands. In fact I saw also these two ads : Hartke 3500 with 2 cabs 410TP (900$) Hartke 3500 with cab 410XL and cab 115TP (700$) I did not add them to the list because...

Hello! So I am a guitar player and I was asked to be part of a band as a bass player. I do have a low budget bass (Jay Turser 5 strings) to do some recording at home but I don't have an amplification rig. So I would like to have some help choosing a good rig for my needs. I'm on a budget of...
