Hi, Venturas here, I tried the 250/210 combo and was not really impressed. However, I just purchased the bassman 250 head as the b**ringer I bought went belly up. I use the bassman 250 with the B**ringer BB210 cab and it sounds pretty good. I like the head as I can use two cabs and get the...

Thanks for everyone's input on my problem. I purchased a Fender Bassman 250 Head yesterday. I figured since my bass amp see more bedroom than stage time I didn[t need to invest in something so expensive. I got this for $399.00 and the Music store adds an extra year warranty on it. so I should...

Thanks for the input. I would go the extra money to get something reliable. Has anyone had any experience with the BBE Bmax Preamp. I own several power amps so that would not be problem. Also, QSC is making a new light weight power amp for around $299.00. It puts out 300 watts at 8ohms and...

Hey everyone, I've got a dilemma here, I need a new bass head. I am torn between trying to by an "all-in-one" bass head (GK, Peavey,Fender etc) and just going ahead and getting a power amp and pre-amp and racking. Everything in my price range (up to $500) seems to be made overseas. I really...

Thanks but are the GKs made in the US? Are there any other brands that are decent and US made? Thanks,

Can anyone give me some info as to where GKs are manufactured? I am looking to purchase a new head as my other (a Behringer) has developed problems after only 5 months. I can get the behringer replaced, however, I will probably dump it and look for something a little more reliable. I...

hey guys, I identify with your problems. When I was contemplating a new amp I was seriously considering the BA115. But after reading all of the reviews, I decided against it due to this very problem. However, I will be honest, anything with a horn in it will give you problems if you have...

I was shopping for a new amp Last December. I had a 59 bassman 4-10 combo that I had played for the last 15 yrs and finally decided that It just wasn't cutting it any more. I had my heart set on the new Fender Rumble with the 2-10s and was also looking at the bassman 250 with the same...

Hi, I'm going to have to agree with muckaluck, get 2-8 ohm cabs. Rule of thumb for volume. You have to double the Power output to raise the volume 3 dbs. The human ear cannot discern a volume change unless the sound pressure has increased 3db or more. Therefore, in order to to get a 2ohm load...

Hi guys, Ventras here, So you are looking for a head that is relatively inexpensive? I am sorry to have to disagree with a lot of you but I went looking in december for a new bass rig and wound up with the Behringer BX 4500 H with a BB210 cabinet. Now I don't play large venues any more so...

Just wanted to give you some input on the 410 - 8ohm cab. I use a 210 8ohm cab and before that used a 59 bassman with 4-10s. I think that unless you play without going direct into the PA the 410 should give you all of the tone and sound pressure one would need on stage. A lot of the big guys...

Hey Guys, I'm new here on the block but I have some information on this infamous Bassman 120 you are all talking about. I bought one of these brand new around 85-86. It is a combo cabinet with a 120 watt transistorized amp. It has a volume, Treble, Mid 1 mid 2 and bass tone controls and a...
