What would you say is the best bargain for gear? Not only relatively inexpensive, but also a quality product? Name basses, amps, effects, or any other type of music related gear you can think of! Set up the catagories the way you want, and provide as many as you can think of. Try and provide approximated prices if possible, too. Here are my picks: Basses: ------- -Essex: $100-$200 -Brice: $200-$400 -Japanese Fenders: $400-$600 Amps: ------- -Heads: -Hartke: $300-$500 -Cabinets: -Avatar: $200-$400 -Combo: -Ampeg (BA115 or B100R): $300-$500 -Preamp: -Sansamp RBI: $300 -Power amps: -Carvin: $300 and up -QSC: $200 and up Miscellaneous: ------- -Strings: -Roundwound: -Ernie Ball: $15-$20 -Flatwound: -Fender: $15-$25
For $10 I know this uummmm lady.................... Oh, I'm sorry, you were talking about bass gear, my bad!
I can't have been the only person who's mind wandered down a completely different path on seeing the thread title "Best Bang For the Bucks"?
Used Carver power amplifiers, like the PM 600, PM 1200, PM 1.5 etc. Note - different company than Carvin. Power to weight ratio of the QSC PLX series for 1/3 the price. PA speakers - Yamaha S215IV..... they sound smoother, less-colored than most speakers costing 3x the dough.
Used Essex/Rondo Peavey - anything Carvin - anything MIM and MIJ Fenders Hartke heads Ampeg preamps QSC power amps
