I think the TC Electronic BAM200 is fanless.

Third Coast Guitar does amps. I've been referred to them by CME a couple times. They're located downtown, but conveniently for me one of their guys goes and works out of Tobias Music in Downers Grove a couple days a week. Stuff he can't do there he brings back to the main office. I think there's...

Wow, this thread has given me a lot to think about. I keep going back and forth between thinking one of the sim apps on iPad would be good enough for sitting around the bedroom and playing with headphones, or getting a small head like the TC Electronic BAM200 for $170. But this Zoom B1 Four...

Awesome, thanks for the info.

Here's a question, and my apologies if this has been asked before but I missed it when scanning through the thread. Has anyone tried running JamUp for iOS through one of these amps? I'm wondering if it colors the sound of the amp models coming from JamUp, or if it can be set to be more...

Totally didn't realize Carvin made monitors. I will definitely check that out, thanks.

Thanks for the advice. Guess I'll delve into the world of PA speakers....

Apologies if this has been asked before, but what's the best way to go from JamUp to an external speaker? Should I just set my amp to all 5's, or would my amp still color some of the sounds from the other amps I'm emulating? Would the best idea just be to get a powered PA speaker and ran JamUp...

It's great with my leather strap, no problems at all. Just tried it with the nylon strap that came with and it was less good than the leather strap (some dive), but I also didn't spend a huge amount of time fine-tuning the strap adjustment.

Yeah I almost got the white, but there was something about that blue that changed my mind.

My new shortscale pbass arrived yesterday. Calling it Blue Thunder. Ignore the demon dog in the background.

After a few years of playing my Gretsch 2202 I figured it was time to get an SX pbass. Arrived yesterday, I've decided to call it Blue Thunder! Apologies for the demon dog in the background.

So what about, say, a GK MB200 or TC BH250 through a 210 (I get the impression that more speakers would be preferable to, say, a 115) for a small gig?

Thanks for the advice, everyone. Looks like I'll be heading to Craigslist. Might try to be content and patient until the need actually arises, we'll see how that goes...

So I am thinking about getting a new amp. I have a 10-watt practice amp I've used to shake the walls of my bedroom for about 3 years now. There is a possibility that I may actually play with some other folks in the future, but certainly nothing too fancy. Aside from that, I've just been...
