Re: What is a good combo bass amp , under 50 lbs?

 a very lightweight head is the Walter Woods amp heads, but their not combos.. AND  their very hard to find.  Now if your rich, and can afford the down payment of a car,  go to Walter and special order a new amp from him.. you'll be waiting 6months to get it . but its botique to the end.. then get some aguilar, or gk neo or other cabinets and you've got yourself a rig!

Yo Victa, whatsoever you do, remember this here. You can't hold no groove, If you ain't got no pocket !

Not quite sure what you are looking for here. You started out asking about combos under 50lbs but then get into different heads.

I believe that MarkBass makes some quality small combos, and then there are the "briefcase" amps, but I have yet to try either in order to give an educated opinion them.

My favorite head, although not a "lightweight" by anyone's definition, is the Peavey Classic 400 from the mid 1990s. Hartley got it right with this amp. Throw some JJ's Tubes in it and you have a tone monster!

Now, I brought three combos, that I thought would be good for a five string bass, and boy, was I wrong. The "new" Acoustic bass amp, the B100, is a good amp, but it is quite heavy for me. I tried a Pignose Hog 30, but then, I found out , it doesn't have the output ,that I need. Now, I seen a Peavey combo, with a 12 in it, and I believe, it has a peak range of 80 watts? I think , that would work, so, doesn't anybody out there in bass land, tried one of those? The Fenders are good too, but , the weight factor, was a factor to me.I have a weight limit put on me, from my doctors, so I really can't take a "shot in the Dark", in this matter, plus my "funds" are limited also. Before my physical condition, came into being, I used to carry around , a Acoustic 136, "back in the day", and it was a really good bass amp.And, I always wanted a compact Kustom 150, with the single 15, great bass tone. For those guys, from Back in the day, whats your favorite bass amp?
 Sunn, Acoustic 370 or 360, the Ampeg SVT, or the most underrated fender bass amp, the models, 400PS, and the "bass" Dual Showman. And, then, The Kustoms. I seen, Plushes, Oranges,Kent, Vox, and a weird amp called the The Olvier, (where the head came up from within it!)Gibson, made a few. My uncle had a Danelectro, with reverb for bass? Trayor, etc. And, I know many bass players , Back then, brought the Fender bassman, with the two 12's, with wasn't that good for bass after all. Soulman
