Just offered that Ampeg BA108v2+ out on loan to my new student.
Nice teacher! Do you expect to see it back in the stable soon? As for a micro amp, it’s be nice to try out the baby PJB before making the purchase.

That's EXACTLY how I feel about short scale basses.One can never have enough combos.

Can I quote you on that?One can never have enough combos.![]()
Nah, got rid of this-(A), it died; II) it was portable-meaning a minimum of 2 young, strong guys could move it). Yamaha YC45dSo now you gotta get one of those, Mike!

I don’t know why the wedge shape isn’t more common for small to mid sized combos, it really does work well.Over 20 years ago I owned a Hartke Kickback 15 combo. Great sound, cuts through the mix quite well. I used it for our FOH gigs as a stage monitor, but with the 120 watts it often was a close call volume wise. In the end I went back to the bigger guns.
After many years gigging mainly bars and clubs with a PA at the most, I am back in a band that does bigger stages with a FOH. Last week I found myself asking the sound engineer to turn my bass signal on my monitor to 100% because I could hardly hear my backline sound on stage.
So after some thinking and knowing the new series Hartke Kickback combo's are 500 watts I bought a KB15 and immediately experimented with it in our practice room. And it did exactly what I hoped and expected. Combo volume down with the combo right in front of me and through the PA for the band. Could hear myself like never before and had a great sound! The band was happy also - our frontman even turned up the volume of the bass a bit!

Let me know if you're interested in a combo club membership number!
Exactly, I’ve got three different stands myself. Just doesn’t work when the speaker is pointing at the back of your knees
