Acoustic Bass Amp
- Thread starter Ibanez Bassist
- Start date
it's actually not bad. i started out with a 100w acoustic, although it was made in the 70's and not the ones they make today. they're good amps. not great, but good for the money.
yea, It seems like I got a lot of bang for my buck and like I said its not an amp I woild Gig with but practice is cool..
I have had mine for almost 2 years and still am impressed with it(at any price)
I am a stickler for authentic sound for the covers we do.
Motorhead
Pat Benatar
Green Day
The Police
CCR
Jimi Hendrix
Johnny Cash
This amp gets round and full to articulated clean and dry.
The B100 hangs comfortably with a solid drummer and a 2x12 Line6
Go get that thing

For a little more $$ and a lot more bang for the buck, I wouild get the B-200 Combo. I love mine; plenty of power, portable too. OK...for a little more $$ than the B-2OO, you can buy the B-200 head and separate 15" cab, which is even more portable, although in 2 pieces. the B-200 wil support a second cab, but the head offers even more variety options for cab choices.
I wouldn't hesitate to perform any size gig with the B-200, as it has a line-out for the PA, for larger gigs.
If you want bedroom volume, just turn everything down. I use KORG Pandora or Line 6 pod for headphone practice. I prefer the B-200; either head/cab, or combo. Just my 2 cents.
PS-JimmyM...So I don't have to go to the port-a-flex site...the first real amp I played through was a friend's Hagstrom through an SB-12 in 1968-69..Instant JPJ or Motown tone. ..Zon6c-f.

I am very impressed with the B-100 for sound quality and power, I just wanted to make sure this amp had a future and get some honest feed back thats all I appreciate it..
