Do I know anyone who plays #bass? Iâm looking for amp buying advice. Iâve played bass for like 15 years - first with a cheap unbranded combo, then with my studio monitors. Now I donât live in an apartment anymore, I want an amp that sounds good, but I have no idea what to look for. Are combos ok? Any suggestions?
@hughrawlinson basically a combo is fine unless youâve got to pay loud in a gig situation without a proper sound system or youâre practising with people who only play really loud :-) The same advice always applies, if you can, go out to shops and test things.
It also depends how much youâre shaping the sound with effects before it goes into the power amp stage. You might then want something thatâs really accurate and wonât colour the tone further. In the end only you know.
