POWERFUL COMBO

[brodiek]

ok i sold my stack, and now only have $1200 maximum to spend on a combo, i dont want an inexpensive stack, i want a combo.
i am from australia so kep that in mind
this is what im looking at atm-

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Ampeg-BA210S...ryZ38078QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

i think its a really good deal, opinions? other recommendations?
it will be used for mainly crowds of 100-200 people in small-medium venues for hardcore/punk music, thanks!

Why not one of the new Ampeg combos? you get 80 more watts, slightly smaller package. You would have to wait a couple more weeks until they are released though. Would a small head and 2x10 be out of the question? Because then you would definetly expand your options. (1200 Aus = ?US)

I just had to sell my GK 1001RB combo because of severe back issues. Best sounding combo I have ever owned and I'm sorry to see it go.

I hoping th shutle I just ordered will live up to its rep.

thanks, but the reason im looking at this ampeg in particular is because they are normally $1000 more, so i would not usually be able to afford one such as that.
$1200aud=$1040usd
a head and a 210 would be ok, but im really wanting an ampeg!! haha
thanks

I've been real happy with the Markbass CMD 102P (2-10 combo). Lightweight, powerful, and great tone.

All the ampeg combos have felt a little on the wimpy side to me volumewise. If you are after a tubey combo that can belt out some volume, you should check out a Mesa Boogie Walkabout Scout. I don't know what they run in your market, but I'll say right now that the walkabout scout will bury any of the ampeg combos and sound better while doing it.

SWR Super Redhead!!! Find one used on the bay or here....

 

[Mikefish07]

Try the Markbass CMD121P. I think it's light, it's loud and it's small. I'm sold on it after three gigs, so I bought another one.

Eh I have the B2re and it is not very powerful at all but a lot more juice then the B1RE

I would take a look at the Carvin BR6 2x10 looks promising, but don't know about being in Aus

It might be a good idea to tell everyone what your choices are for the price range you are looking at. Otherwise, everyone will chime in with what they think is a good amp, yet may cost $2000 AUD.

 

[brodiek]

thanks BMC

ok these are my options ATM

Ampeg BA20SP

Genze Benz NEOX112T

Ampeg B1 RE head and a small/cheap cab

possibly line 6 300 watt combo

thier my main options currently, advice as to what i should choose or not choose any of these would be great, thanks again!
from the land down underr

 

[rok51]

What about the Genz Benz Shuttle series? I have the 3.0-10T (and the 10T extension cab) and it kicks arse! The 6.0 is even more brutal.

And they are way light for their output...light enough to buy U.S. and ship to the land down under...

Did you have the 15" combo?

How is the Shuttle 210 in comparison?

 

[pendergasta]

I love my Ashdown MAG C210 combo.

I have an ampeg b2re and its extremely quiet.. It sounds nice but.. if you're looking for power thats not the way to go.
