Micro basscombo

[agedhorse]

If you can find a used Shuttle 3.0-10T or Contiur 500 combo, that would fit your needs. You might look in the TB classified section also, they do come up occasionally.

I'm not seeing a Markbass Marcus Miller combo in your price range, but the Markbass 801 is. It's only 60w with an 8" speaker, but it's an amazing amp -- small, and only about 12 lbs. It has the speaker out jack you're hoping for, but virtually no EQ -- just a filter that's really a boost/cut for mids. I find the filter perfectly adequate, especially for upright, but some people like to use a preamp with it for more EQ flexibility.

I also agree with the Rumble 100 recommendations. I love mine, but it does not have a jack for external speaker. This never bothered me because most of my gigs are in small to medium spaces and the amp has plenty of power. I've never had to push the volume past 12 o'clock.

Good luck with your search.

What do yo think?????

I was going to recommend a Trace Elliot ELF with 2x8 cab but it's out of your range.

Also I love the 10'' combo, but only for pre-order.... Not avaible yet

I don't have any direct experience yet but I'm hoping to try them out. I've read lots of positive reviews on the Small Block series of combos.
I'm not sure where you are located but I'll post the link for their North American and International Dealers. The SB106 retails for $549 Canadian Dollars, so depending on where you are and currency exchange it could be right in your price range. Traynor has a great reputation for build quality and their amps are made in Canada.

North American Dealers – Traynor Amps

I've been using the Traynor SB 106 since it first came out.
No issues, sounds great with my 5 string active bass and my 4 string passive precision. The 6" speaker gives out remarkably clean, clear and punchy tone.
My low B on my fiver is handled without any flubb and farty. Lol. .
Plugged into a 1/15 ext speaker is plenty adaquate to keep up with a band..
Just looks a bit odd with the combo on top of the speaker .

If your gonna gig with it at least get a 12” speaker, I suggest this it did me good and you can hook up the powered extension if needed! Very light weight too! GK

I'm looking for the most portable posible bass combo for practice, rehearsal, and also small gigs, if it's possible speaker out connection in case you need to go louder, 400 or 500$ it's my limit, some advise??????

If you can find one of these in either the 1-15 or the 210 RS-Series, you will never regret it. Rated @ 320 Watts as is. Yes, you can add an 8ohm cab, but you it will not give you a huge bump in volume due to having a minimum 4ohm load rating one the amp, and the external cab would be wired in parallel ( internally wired at the jack) creating a more than 4ohm load meaning the wattage would be lower 320.

Thanks for your comment, the markbass 801 is 60w, in 4ohms, is that enough to push the air the right way??? Can you play an small to medium venue? By the way very nice combo you have....Thanks again

What folks deem "small" or "medium" can vary pretty widely. While I haven't used the 801 specifically, I think it's a bit small for this application. I gigged a 200watt GK MB112 exclusively for a couple years. For acoustic gigs it was great. small venues and rehearsals it was fantastic. It did handle some medium gigs without PA when called upon, but we had a drummer with no ego and superb control of dynamics and similar bandleader/lead guitarist. Even then the 200w and 12" speaker were the lower limit of functionality - on these meduim gigs I was running the master at about 85% of full. No way a 60w 1x8 would have worked in my experience. If you have PA support and using it as a monitor, totally different story.

What do yo think?????

2 different animals. Are ya looking for convenience or are you gonna gig with it regularly?
That price on the Markbass is the lowest I've ever seen. If it's mainly for home and occasional light duty with others I'd be on the Markbass in a flash.
If you're gonna gig, the Hartke will have more output but not as convenient (light).
Both nice amps. I just favor the Markbass as I've had excellent service from mine.
I'm sure there are Hartke fans too.

i have an Ibanez Promethean P3110 ... fairly light , small ... 200 Watts , 250 w/ext spkr ...

it's OK ... found used for around $250 ... installed a tweeter volume control ...

i usually use an external pre/eq for my passive basses ... the tone controls seem to need a little help .?

has a kickback foot/handle thingy ... but a cheap lean back amp stand works better for better aiming .!

I do have PA support, but the idea is to carry as least as posible....

Probably convenience most of the time, and on the last 3 months of the year we go more active practicing with percussion, and playing (medium and large venues), but with PA support so it would be stage monitor, for practicing being use either alone (combo alone) or hooked into a 15'' cab that I have (peavey black widow 350w rms passive cabinet), when we aren't so active with the band: mostly practicing at home, playing acoustic with friends with cajon flamenco, or congas, not drum set, and small gigs or venues.

Yes it is. They did two series, one was an Eden Nemesis, the other was an EDEN but for the most part, they are the same thing other than the tag. Both a 320 watts running @ 4 ohms.
