Combo amp for a 5 string bass

[hatamoto]

Hello guys!

I'm searching for bass combo amp that can handle a 5 string bass.
I'm playing mostly at home, and don't need something that will shake the world.
I have Orange CR50BX, which is handling 4 strings very well, but have some problems producing low B.

Now I'm wondering between:
TC BG250 115
TC BG250 112 (don't know if that can handle open B string)
Fender Rumble 150
Ashdown Rootmaster 112 - 220
Ashdown AAA Five 15
Ashdown AAA Vintage 12

I know that I need bigger driver for lower frequencies, but the low B is ~31 hz, and all the Ashdowns are marked under that frequency.

I live in Bulgaria, so here I can try only TC (ony 115) and Fender. If you have experience with these amps, please write down your opinion.

Best wishes,
G

If you are playing at home, all combos should meet your needs. I would go out and try what you can in person, and get some feeling for what you need.

First, you do not need a bigger driver for lower frequencies. What you do need, is to cut the bass eq from whatever amp you use, and forget all about 31Hz. No commercial combo amp will reproduce anything useful in that range. The first harmonic of low B is 62 Hz. This is where you will hear that low B string.
