So I am looking for another bass amp. I am looking at lightweight 210 combos again, particularly the Ashdown AAA 300 this time, but I am open to getting a separate head/cab.
So far I have tried Rumbles, GK MB210, and the TC Electronic BG210. They have all worked, and I was OK with the tone, but had to get rid of each one for various reasons. 15in speakers don't work for me as they lack the definition I need for my P.
I am hoping for a really flat sound; my favourite tone is when I hook my bass directly to my interface, or the couple times I've hooked it from a mixer to studio monitors or PA speakers. Bar that, I like the markbass tone, just not the price.
I want something portable, too. 410s are a pain and probably too much for my needs (loud practice, smallish gigs). My idea is to be able to take everything in one trip: bass in one hand, amp/dolly in the other, ladies around my neck, everything else in a bag on my back.
So 210 combos seem to be what I am looking for, but I don't know anything about separate heads/cabs. Are there any heads/cabs that can compete with combos for what I am getting with combos in terms of price and portability? Can I get less colored sound without sacrificing much of the other two?
