PORTABLE BASS AMPLIFIER

[KohanMike]

I also recommend the Phil Jones Double Four Plus. I added a small powerbank with A/C outlet, which allows for the full 90w output of the amp, using the USB-C outlet limits the amp to 80w.

EDIT; actually, this powerbank will work for any small A/C amp, and it lasts many, many hours.

Metal?

I use any bass amp and an Acme Low B 2. A little cabinet with a 10" woofer, 3" mid driver, and dome tweeter. I love it.

For cheap any small combo amp with an 8" speaker, Fender Rumble, Hartke, etc.

Don't you mean an Acme Low B1?

I'd say pretty much any practice amp will do the trick. I'm assuming you're talking about playing a solid body electric bass with two unamplified steel string guitars. My Dean Bassola 15W practice amp does just dandy for this kind of duty.

Maybe so?

Yes, I stand corrected, thank you.

Hello, everyone! I need some advice on a portable bass amplifier to play alongside two unamplified acoustic guitars. Please leave your suggestions. Thank you.

You need a Fender Rumble 100 combo .

PJB Double Four is extremely portable and plenty loud to keep up with two acoustic guitars. It is challenged in the sound department though, being a pretty lower-mid forward sound (i.e. slightly boxy).

What is your current rig?

 

[damaset]

¿Cual es tu equipo actual? Tanks everyone for your responses. I need it to be as small as possible, and if it's drum-powered, even better. My current setup: Fender Rumble 25 and 500 + a 2x10 cabinet and a GK 112..l I wish something was lighter than the Rumble 25.

For unamplified acoustic guitars n a basement, a Rumble 25 or 40 will do. I'd go with the 40. If you plan to play outdoors or in clubs, then all three of you are going to need amps, or a PA.

?? The Rumble 25 weighs a smidge under 18-lbs...that's pretty light...

So glad I picked one of those up at a pawn shop for $75 when I did. It's the perfect light weight packable amp for playing with unamplified instruments.

Rumble 15.

I use one of these. They are great little units when working with acoustic guitars. It won't sound like a high end set-up but it's surprisingly good and has a lot of very usable on-board features. They're cheap and great value for the money. I play outdoors a lot with a friend who plays acoustically or with a battery powered amp and it goes well. 6 AA batteries will give you around 11 hours playing time and it's very light.

Budget?

 

[klyph]

Bose S1 pro. It's tiny and weighs 5-6 kilos, but will keep up with any drumless acoustic situation, and even some light drumming.

 

[Bighands Bill]

Teenage engineering OBN-4. Not cheap but battery powered, small and hi fi sound. I heard someone singing with prerecorded piano and thought a real piano was off to the side and out of site.

Hi Mike, please share where you got the powerbank from - I like how it looks!

Don't think this is sold new any longer. (Roland - MICRO CUBE BASS RX | Bass Amplifier)

I'm sure you could find a used Micro Cube Bass Rx, but I wanted more power for little acoustic gigs.
