Bass combos under 600€

[martysp19]

Any recomendations for reliable combos (600€ is my max budget) to practice with small/medium bands/groups and some gigs?

I think I would want at least 100w, but im open to suggestions from you guys

Also buying used can be a great deal, but in my country there is not a lot of offer on that field and honestly, I value the warranty quite a bit.

Preferably combos with a good low end, and some vintage sound if possible xD. Is, for a example, the orange crush 100 a good option?


Thank you for your time!

Fender Rumble 200 is about 600 EUR and fits your described description well.
I had its for a while and it was nice sounding combo...

Yep, Fender Rumbles are decent for the money. I would go for as much wattage and speaker area as you can afford!

The only problem is that in my country it costs around 670 euros, which is a little too high for me. Thanks anyway!

Do you have experience with this amp? I must confess I absolutely love the design and the tone, but is it worth the extra couple hundred comparing with the other direct competitors?

Is it just good for rock/punk situations or is it versatile to the point where I can play all genres and feel comfortable?

I have both the 50 and the 100, I play from Jazz to trash. Theyre based on the Orange OB1, I find them versatile enough for anything really.

What is the difference between 600 and 670? Saving for another few months? If the Rumble is really what you want, it's better to spend a little extra now and be happy than to spend less and be unhappy and wind up spending more later anyway.

It's hard to tell from that description what you might need volume-wise.

I'd consider something that will accommodate an extension speaker just in case you end up needing more.

That looks nice. From the view of the back, it looks like you can unplug the combo speaker and go from the amp into another cab if ya wanted.

I had great luck with a Laney RB7 2x10 combo. Sold it to a friend. Now HE’S in love with it.

That combo has been discontinued in favor of the RB-115.

I think that combo is discontinued as well. Current models are RB1 through RB4. The RB4 might be a good solution, but I have no idea what pricing is like.

This Laney looks like the perfect solution, as it is not too heavy and must be a good compromise.

You have a point there, but I have to consider my situation really well. Thank you for the help anyways

It's supposed to be pretty loud, too.

Yes RB115 which I have and love. I found my settings at home and it's the perfect bass sound to me.
It is surprisingly light !
No gig so far on my side, but plenty of option with an external cab or the XLR DI.
