Which Bass Amp to play live?

TC BG250 - great sound and super light weight. I do outdoor venues with it and couldn't be happier with its performance and effect on my back afterwards....

warwick BC150 or BC300. very good tone and come with aux.

OP, if you guys want to do the 2-man + backing track thing any of the combos mentioned would likely carry your bass well enough. I'd be more concerned with it getting a good "real sounding" representation of the drum and piano tracks.

I'd most likely be loking at a little more "full-range/neutral" sounding setup, or a small PA system.

You beat me to it. You won't have much control over the tracks unless your computer/MP3 player has a good EQ on it. I wouldn't use a bass combo at all. I would go for a nice compact powered PA head and 1 (or 2) good speakers on a stick that can handle some bass. Or perhaps you could just get a small mixer and 1 (or 2) of the new Class D powered speakers. Speakers have come a long ways. Some small stuff can really pack a pretty good punch

All of them will likely fit the bill. I'm a little partial to the Ampeg stuff, but any of them would work. I'd also suggest checking out the Ampeg Micro CL as well as the BA115.

I have the BA115 and it a great sounding amp. I've never really owned a cab/amp and am confused as to why a cab/amp system might be better than just a nice combo. I don't need a wall of speakers for a good sound.
