Re: bass amps

I'm an Ampeg person myself. For large gigs I use an Ampeg SVT head with
an Ampeg 410 cab. But for the last few years, I've been manly useing an
Ampeg B200R 200 watt combo amp, for most of my gigs, that I had tweaked
out. The amp has a tube pre-amp in it to give you that nice warm tube
sound & an XLR out which is nice also. The only problems that I've ever
had with this amp, was an anoying rattle cause by Ampeg useing cheap
brackets, to hold the cab to the head, the lack of enough baffling in
the cab to help knock off the rest of that rattling noise & too  give it
more focus & a much fuller tone. I had these problems fixed right, by my
amp tech for 80.00 bucks. Since I had those problems fixed. This amp
sounds exactly like an old motown B15 & has not given me any trouble at
all. I've had it now for about three or four years & it's become my main
rig these days. Due to it's lite weight & great tone. You can probably
pick one up for about 299.00 to 399.00 on ebay. I hope this helps out
some. If you prefer solid state amps, there a bunch out there new & used
for good prices. Note: I'd stay away from Behrenger though! Just IMO.

$400. range used, or maybe a head. Used for the garage and dive bars
mostly. Thanks
