I need a small amps with balls!!

Amen on the VT pedal in front of a MarkBass combo. Another front end solution, ibit a $970 one

I just got a Fender Bassman TV 10 Duo and it is a 350 watt "Middle Weight" but a very interesting tweed vintage option with a Fender Tube Pre and passive tone stack. It is is really great but the no cabinet option had me a bit worried.

I tried the Bassman line out into the MarkBass 210 Combo XLR in. DAMN!!!! Attack and tone was dead on! Sounded identical to the fender.

So I have a Portable 45 lb Solid State Wonder, A 53 lb ( I weighed it... seems heavier though) Vintage Tubey Amp and can mix it all up for a massive rig. It's awesome running a Mesa 15" extension cab out of the Markbass as well and now I'm in heaven with a 950 Watt (my MB 2x10 says 600 watts... really) 4x10, 1x15 beast.

For practicing at home my Micro Cube is the bomb though... it's got a drummer built in

If you are a guy.

Just get a small amp.

Combine the two parts.

Ampeg micro vr with matching 2x10 cab. I find myself reccommending it over and over. It weighs about 40 lbs all told and it cranks. 200 watts, and it will blow a lot of others out of the water. Go to a store and try one, the sound proves more than I can.

a ThunderChild + a 500w micro-amp of your choice

MarkBass CMD 121P (1x12 combo) - just awsome - I have had one for about 5 months

Pretty tough to beat that little Genz Benz combo for size/weight/quality.
I don’t see a price range and some of these suggestions are pretty expensive.
A less expensive combo would be a Carvin BX250 head on an Avatar SB112 NEO (4 ohms).
I know for a fact this combo rocks.

I have a Genz Benz Streamliner 900 and an Epifani 112.. light and loud loud loud, if I need more power then I use my Aguilar 4x10

 

[::::BASSIST::::]

fEARful 12/6 with any good 500W micro head. Be under 50 Lbs. total. I've tried GK MBfusion, TH500, & PF500. All have sounded incredible. If you go 15/6 & more power you might even replace you big rig with under 65 lbs.

+1

Can't top this.

Have you ever seen a porcupine's balls?
They're small and they don't give a s***!!!

Sorry, couldn't resist, carry on.

Quote,"I'm really pleased with the Roland Cube 100 I just snagged on the cheap. I've used it for a few rehearsals and a couple gigs with my band, the Inactivists."

I also have a Roland Cube 100. It's very versatile, has great output options, but in my experience it just doesn't have enough output...by itself. Add a good external cabinet or do what I do...line out into a 12 inch powered PA speaker, and it rocks. But by itself, it's no match for the new class of amps on the market.

I have a GK MB500 for sale. 500 watts and it only weighs 3.7 lbs.

Make sure you get a male amp.
