Need professional recommendations

I have an RH450 but it died a couple of weeks ago. 15 months old. I guess you should stay away from that.

 

Is it out of warranty? Is ampeg or your seller gonna fix it? I have mine at a local tech since it is out of warranty. I have thoughts of having my next gear to be locally repairable if it goes out without disregard to weight.

 

Same thing with my backline 600 which I sold after getting it fixed. So, I moved up to a midpriced amp but still failed. Still trying to get some ideas from fellas here of which one could be the most reliable piece of gear.

 

It is very unfortunate for you that Sudden Ampeg Death Syndrome is so very common. Let me suggest that you get a Fender Rumble 500 head to use with your present cab (unless that too is blown up). Fender Rumbles are both rugged and reliable, and they sound much better than Ampegs too!

 

of those 3 I would choose the Mesa Boogie. Can you get your hands on GK?

 

Fender Rumble 500's are extremely reliable; sound great, and are affordable. They are the market leaders in both their price class and wattage class. Indeed Fender Rumbles have been the very best selling line of professional bass amplification on planet Earth for nearly four years running. They're the Best.

 

I prefer the RB line, but they're heavier. 1001RBii, but that's just my taste. MB800 should handle anything you throw at it!
I owned the M9 for a short period of time and traded out of it- a little too sterile for my taste, but a great amp....

 

Fender amps always made my P bass copy sound great back then. I see Rumble heads are not autovolt but could be traded off foe reliabilìty. Do they really have 5 years warranty?

 

I'm not sure what you mean by "autovolt", but yes they do have a five year warranty.

 

Autovolt, meaning I could plug it from 100-240volts. There must be some other word for that. How long have you had your Rumble? I presume it had never failed.

 

I've had my Rumble 75 combo for four years and use it everyday. My Rumble 350 I've had for two years and is my gig-rig. My new V3 Rumble 25 I've only had for a few months. I use it a couple of times a week at my guitarist's house (it lives there) to work up new tunes. I'm happy

 

Rumble 500 is worth looking into.

 

I would stay with Ampeg their customer service is second to none but if you are gonna jump ship look into the Peavey Tour 450 My co of choice for years

 

I do not have much experience with so many amps as access is limited, I think the LH1000 is worth checking.
