New Ric Owner looking for an amp

[bhoff5150]

If you can afford it the Ampeg PF-20T or 50T are wonderful with a Ric. I also like the Ashdown CTM-30. Those rigs are light weight and portable with the 12" cabinet of your choice.

My all time favorite amp paired with my Ric is the Ampeg V4B. I have an early 70's version and it just makes everything come alive.

That said, your Ric will sound like a Ric through pretty much anything. Tube amps are my recommendation if you can afford them.

Good luck and enjoy

Go play a few at GC and see what you think sounds good with your bass

Haha I'd be surprised if there was a GC that had anything beyond a couple Markbass and Fender Rumble combos.

Everything mentioned but Orange.
Ricks sound great through Orange!

So... You gonna run stereo? Super clean tone? If so, use an Ampeg for the bass amp and a Roland Jazz Chorus as the guitar amp. Sweet Corn Heaven!

OR just scratch all that and get a Hiwatt.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. It looks like the best thing to do is just test um out, and find one that sounds the best to me.

BAER ML112 cab. Designed specifically with the Squire proggy sound in mind. Takes a lot of power because is houses very good speakers. Sounds great overdriving with a mid-driver instead of a tweeter. A GK MB Fusion would drive it nice. I also like the Rootmaster 500 from Ashdown because the drive sounds good. If you don't mind a little extra weight, can't beat the GK 700RBII or 1001RBII.

Baer ML112

My best experiences have been with Ampeg and Peavey. I have played it through a GK at the store and it did sound really crisp and punchy!

The micro SVT stack looks pretty awesome with a Ric.

Even better, a https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MicroCL--ampeg-micro-cl-2x10-inch-100-watt-bass-stack!!!

Hiho,Orange all the way,I,ve been Orange for 6 years now and my Rick sings.
Stick a pre amp between bass and amp and away you go.

My Ric 4003 sounds good thru any amp. This is what I use.
Time to roll out my favorite picture... behold
