Default Best Bass Combo Amp?
Hey Guys and Gals,

Just wondering what others opinons are, on what the best bass combo amp is for the price. I have several favs: Trace Elliot Boxer 30, Ampeg Rocket Bass, but would like to know what everyone else is using and why?
Thanks
LD

The Fender BXR series was great. Particularly the 400. Those things are workhorses, loud as hell, and sound amazing when the break up. The DI ain't bad too.

For a cheap bass combo, the Ashdown stuff rocks. I've used the MAG300 combo as well as just the head on gigs & recordings, and they came through just fine.

I checked out this band last night and the bass player was thumping out of a 2 10 inch combo from ashdown I was able to speak with him after the show he told me it was one of the beat amps for the money.Looks like this may be the one!

Ampegs and Ashdowns. Find the watts you need and they sound great!

Tried one of these at Music Go Round. If I could afford it at the time I definitely would have picked it up.

Sounds great.
