Help w/ amp please!!!

if your on a budget alot of people recomend avatar cabs. what kind of bass do you have? you could go with a pre amp power amp setup for pretty cheap. and if you have an active bass you can just get a power amp until you can afford a pre amp.

 

If you could find a used Mesa bassbuster 2x10 that would rule... Plenty of used stuff around here for sale. As far as combos go i really like the GK 1001RB 2x10.

an avatar 4x10 is 375bucks with shipping a decent power amp is 400-600 bucks and a pre amp sans amp rbi is 300 used would be about 100or so. and if you have any extra money you could get a 1x15cab with it and run about 1000-2000 watts for under 1000dollers. hope this helps

 

In that price range, you could get a very good used Metro or Super Redhead. Or perhaps a new Bassman 400, which has pleasantly surprised me every time I've played one. You wouldn't be replacing any of these amps any time soon.

 

no problem im glad i could help i am in the process of purchasing my rig

 

I'm with Munji on this one. I was on the hunt for a combo and ended up with the new Fender Bassman 400 Pro. I felt it was a great buy when comparing the sound, features, quality and price. Alot of TB'ers like the Peavey BAM, but it's going to be more than $1,000.00 new. IMO the new Fender sounds great and is hundreds less than the Metro, Red Head and BAM.

 

but could a combo amp handle the outdoors?

 

DI out owns you all tbh

 

Not by itself. You'll probably want to use the DI and run through the PA and use your amp as a stage monitor. You can always add a 2x10" or a 15" extension cabinet to any of the above mentioned combos. The Bassman does 500 watts RMS into a 2 ohm load; just add a 4 ohm 15" extention cabinet on the big gigs if you wish.

 

thought so.

 

how many ohms is the bassman 400 pro w/o an extension? 4 or 8?

 

4 ohm
