Practice Amps: Ampeg VS Fender

[bassliner50]

I need another amp like I need a hole in the head, but those Traynor amps look and sound so attractive. If I were to go there, I’d probably get the 115 so I could use it for jams and small gigs

SB112

I own the Traynor SB115. Very refined amp that always sound better than good. Most rooms I run the EQ almost flat and the sound is there. Capable of medium large venues. The only downside is rat fur.

Well, I have been using Markbass, so I’m used to the rat fur

Why not just get a cheap 110 cab and keep using the Aguilar?

Because that’s two things to carry and patch. That’s twice as many things as if I had a separate small combo amp!

for a practice at home amp I like the fender rumble 100..its punchy and when I practice sometimes I throw on you tube and play along with songs i know but don't play in the band I'm in, or just play along and learn songs I know or have heard but not learned on bass like steely dan or chicago etc and my neighbors won't be able to enjoy that if I have a small wattage amp..

Honestly this might be the best advice. Thanks for the reality check.

Sorry to not recommend buying sonething..lol. I've got 2 of those 210AV cabs with a MicroVR head and with one cab it's a great practice rig that becomes a great gig rig when adding the second cab.

Ampeg or Traynor

Looks like the Rumble 25 is only $169 CAD. I must have been looking at the 40 yesterday.

Hartke HD15 and HD25 are also available. The HD25 is $199 which is pushing the limit.

Sounds like I need to get myself down to the store and plug a few of these in. Ampeg is a little more my vibe but the Rumble 25 is on the list now.

The HD25 is only 129.99 here in the USA.
