Whats the worst combo you've ever owned?

[v1paul]

As title states, what is the worst combo amp you've ever owned or used and I don't mean a guitar combo that you had to use for bass I mean what is the worst bass combo.

Crate 15w practice amp. Somebody should be slapped.

I didn't own it but I tried it: a 90 watts behringer...

Combos I've owned include my old Peavey Basic 60, an Eden CXC-210, and my current Carvin BX1200 w/ LDS 15/6.5 cab. I'd say they're ranked from worst to best, but I still have the Peavey and use it when I practice at my computer.

+1 I had a Crate BX15 as my first amp. It was a piece.

 

[schnigges]

Laney RB5. Couldn't get any punch or lows out of it

 

[MarcusPocus]

Fender Rumble 15. You couldn't turn it up past 2 or it would fart like crazy. Next would have to be a beringer 60 watts of crap. It had that ultra bass thing which was a muddy mess.

peavey minx was kind of weak. that was my first amp. i also had an ampeg b2 4x8...sounded good for home use, but couldnt push too much air at a gig and weighed almost 100lbs.

I used a friend's Behringer 210 combo when we played at his house so I wouldn't have to move my rig in and out of the house. That thing was a piece of crap. The speaker blew after about six sessions and it's not as if the amp was cranked. I was not impressed.

Axl 15 w, my first bass amp, i kept it for 2 months, I didn't know much about sounding good back in the days but it sounded like cr*p.

The worst combo amp I ever owned was a Peavey TNT130. It was loud as hell, but tone-wise, it was an absolute turd. Heavy too.

Flame on.

 

[Jay Corwin]

Fender BXR100. I could never get it to sound good across all strings. Lots of features - little tone. It also had some "on-board" compression thing that I'm pretty sure was useless.

It did get me through a lot of gigs in my youth though.

 

[beebassdude]

SWR Workingmans 15.

total piece of garbage.

 

[jbassbob]

New Peavey MicroBass. Nice, solid little cabinet, just awful tone.

 

[natw42]

SWR Workingmans 15.

total piece of garbage.

Had one of these too... nice tone if you're sitting by yourself in your bedroom. Once you get into a band situation, forget about it. No volume or punch to speak of. Push it too hard it it farts out. I ended up giving mine away after replacing it with a Roland DB700 (which was, alas, stolen ).

lol, i thought it was bad for a bedroom. attempting to use that in a band setting would just be awful. youd be drowned out in a second.

i personally dont like any SWR stuff, but this thing was just awful.

Worst so far was a laney RB2 i think , i couldnt get any bass tones out of it ,,and the EQ made no sense/ difference ,,i was dissapointed i thought laney would be better.

Even though there are some comments against it I did have a peavey micro bass that i quite liked ,,i'm quite fond of peavey they just seem to go on for ever ,,,,the tone grows on ya .

 

[big90sbasshorns]

Harmony...shipped from sears and ran on batteries or a/c

 

[allexcosta]

Ampeg BA115. Worst combo in it's category...

 

[nicfargo]

Fender Rumble 100. In all fairness it's the only combo I've owned, so it's the worst and best It does a good job (has DI out), but just lacks any sort of soul. Maybe that's the Solid State part of it...or maybe it is just a souless combo :-/
