    I'm looking to get a cheap (£200-300) combo that will be good enough for very small pub and coffee shop gigs. Our band is not terribly loud, and I will have PA support, but the PA might not be very good, so I want to know the amp is good enough on it's own!

    At the moment I am torn between the

    Ashdown Electric Blue Evo II 15-180 Combo -

    Ashdown Electric Blue Evo II 15-180 Combo

    I know I can get these very cheap on ebay which is a bonus

    Hartke A100 -

    Hartke A100

    or possibly a 15inch kickback

    Laney RB4 -

    or possibly the Ampeg BA 115 -

    I have also been keeping an eye out for second hand trace's and would appreciate any links!

    any thoughts?

    I have the Asdown 15-180 Combo and love it. Really nice warm sound that doesn't colour the tone of your bass too much :)
