Combo Amps...

Looking for a solid combo amp in the $500-$700 arena. So far have considered GK mb-212/210, Ampeg, Promethean, and Mark Bass.

Fender Bassman TV series are great. I have the TV Ten and TV 12, both are 150 watts and killer!

Mark Bass! See if you like it first. Good luck!

Look at the acoustic B200 combo. Its on the cheaper end but it sounds amazing :O

a lot of good combos in that price range. check out other people's opinions but try some out for yourself and see what you think and get the one that sounds best to you. personally, i'm down with the ampegs in that price range. i love my new micro vr stack. ampeg has some new lightweight ss portaflex heads and cabs coming out soon in that price range that become fliptop combos like the old b-15's. if they're as good as the micro vr stack, they're going to be the combos to beat in that price range imho.

I think the Micro-VR is a great choice if the combo thing isn't a deal breaker for you. If it is, I owned an Ampeg b200r and it was hands down one of the best bass amps I've ever owned. I only sold it to gain funds for my touring stack, and would buy another one in a heartbeat. 220 watts through the SVP preamp system into an Eminence 15" driver. What more could you ask for?

I had a Genz Benz mline 210 and it could do virtually anything. It also had great tone from the preamp. IMO best bargain combo ever.

GK. I've got the MB115, and it's fantastic.
