Bass Amp - Any Advice?
Posted: 04 Aug 2011, 10:22
I am in need of a bass amp. I been a using a small Vox Valvetronic just for home use, but need something bigger to use in small to medium venues.
I would like it to have a retro look if poss, as the modern stacks look like they belong in Dr Who's Tardis. Weight is also a factor, as I used to use 4x12 cabs which were pretty heavy, and I am not as young as I used to be. Combo's seem to be popular, but those I have tried seem to be heavy. I am thinking of a head unit to which 1 or 2 small cabs could be added as needed.
Fender advertise one of their Rumble range cabs as weighing only 24lbs. They recommend the Rumble head with 1X12 cab + 2X8 cab.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Christopher
