Hi all, I'm new to the forum here. I'm looking for some advice on a combo amp. I've been researching the new AI Ten2 combo and like the portability. I play Honky Tonk, Gypsy Swing, and Bluegrass mostly and some acoustic rock. I have an older Englehart bass with a Fishman Full Circle pickup. I use Velvet Anima strings. I run this through a Millennia TD-1 for a pre amp. I usually just play through a house PA and use the stage monitors. I like the tone I get with the Millennia but now feel I need an amp and cab for small gigs. I do have an Eden 410XL with a WT-600 but I hate lugging this rig around except for loud electric gigs. So your experiences and opinions would be most welcome. Is the Ten2 right for me? Thanks.

Double Bass Advice combo amps

Last month I picked up a Link Removed - and it's probably the most impressed I've been with amplification in many a year. I've used it for a wide variety of gigs/venues. From small jazz hit on doublebass, to electric bass slamming w/a 10-pc group, to salsa. Even used the head as a preamp in a recent recording session w/Chuchito Valdes. This combo is the bomb. The head is 600 watts (and detachable - ~ 3.5 lbs) and with the cabinet (12" + tweet) it weighs in at ~ 30 lbs. Best of all, the sound is amazing - and very flexible. For a little package it puts out a ton of sound, but for lager gigs I would always run it through the PA. They also offer other Shuttle models with 10" & even 8" cabinets. Well worth trying.
