Under 30w amp for the casa...suggestions, opinions?

There is a thread and poll just like this one HERE


I think the Peavey Micro is a good bang for the buck!

You want cheap, go used.

I don't find it matters much which small practice amp you buy, just as long as it doesn't rattle or fart out.

I've had good luck with Crate, Peavey, Ibanez amps that I've bought for friends taking up the bass.

 

I have a ahrtke b30 pucking 30 watts out an 8 inch speaker...for sale for 100$..u intrested?

Then you should have made a more specific post!

Talk to a mod if you have a problem with how the board is ran. I was polite enough to vote on your poll and offer you my advise. If it's not what you want to hear, that's your problem not mine!

You would have been better off posting a poll with just the ashdown or vox t-15....... and then compared (on your own) this thread with the info in the other thread to draw your conclusion.

I just bought a microbass for a microprice. $15! It sounds like it has some issues, but that's ok, for $15 bux I didn't think I could go wrong. (I are a enjunear ya know!) it sounds like an easy fix.

Everybody raves about this little guy, BP did a "shootout" a bit ago and IIRC it came out with the top tone award. YMMV.

The ashdown is probably a winner too. I hear alot of guys rave about the Pignose Hog 30, which is also battery powered I believe.

also check out the Fender bassman 25. I played through the 100 and thought it just rocked!

Just my $0.03CD.

Stay Low,

SWR Workingmans combo

 

Peavey microbass.

 

I bought this Hartke B30 in 1998 for $139.95,it
has been a great little practice amp. I still see
them for $149.95.

 

Fender Bassman 25 IMHO

 

I have a 25 watt Marshall I am willing to sell for $100 (may seem slightly high, but the price includes shipping). It has never been out of my house and it seriously could pass as brand spankin' new. It's up at my other house right now, but I could have a friend ship it out for me. Let me know if you're interested, thanks

 

I voted for the Ashdown, but another good little amp worth checking out is a Fender Bassman 25.

Jon223, hope we have been helpful and I really enjoyed reading Smash's review!

Out of your choices, the Ashdown.

Im also more than happy with my Fender Frontman 15B. (No, not a bassman)

 

(I hope this sums up my feelings on crate )

 

Fender Bassman 25 would be my suggestion, but at $270, rather than the $150 you've got, that probably doesn't help.

I would suggest you "try before you buy". Crank-up the volume and the low EQ and see if the amp makes rattling or "farting" sounds. In that price-range, most do - beware. Very sad.

The Bassman was the only one I could find that cranked-out the low EQ, but I didn't try the Peavey, or some others on your list.
