Just finiding out what Bass Amp u guys are using. Or which one is ur Amp gas

15" speakers are not really my thing... but i just used a fender rumble 100 at anaki the other day and it was awesome. ran a fuzz in my chain and it was really KKKRUNCHY...

i wouldn't mind a hartke man. the aluminium speakers look promising
 
using: Yamaha F-20B (very good practice amp i like the sound, and its' cheap)

GAS: Hartke Kickback 15 (use it quite often in the studio, very happy with the sound, will buy it once I have the $$$)


post edit:
WTF I posted on this topic before lol!!! :)
 
Maybe its just me, but I *really* liked the Ampeg BA combos. Used the BA115 quite extensively and have a small BA110 at home.

It has a pretty good response and the preamp is really warm. I use it as a recording pre-amp for guitar sometimes =)

Playing live the BA115 is unbelievably loud and handles the low E and B fantastically. The low end on this thing is just right.

But of course, its way overpriced at the shop............

im in the same camp as jonhyz... practice amp ampeg ba112, home amps laney hc160 and ampeg ba115hp, gigging amps ba115 (w e tilt) and an old crate 50w. started out with a peavey 10w (too little power) and later a no brand 25w (wasnt much better than the peavey).

ampegs are excellent amps. i prefer them to the swrs n even trace elliots ive tried.

however, they are *ex*. my ba112 is 3rd hand, ba115 2nd hand. ouch.

gas - refer to zero_g's post :) i wld also like to try the ampeg portabass, or other concepts like tt where u can push your stuff around. carrying a 50-80lb amp around might literally break my back one day - and i dont wanna go there..

Bro Jason, ur Ampeg is really cool. Really hope to get one as well.
Had a few choice on my list,

1. Line 6 Lowdown 115,
2. EBS Neodrome 112,
3. Ampeg 115
4. Harkte Kickback 15

Havent really decided with one is suitable. lol
Fussy buyer.

haha bro sorry ar. maybe i tried a bad sounding one but it ust didn't make the cut for me. I'd also rather have an amp with character. not smth that sounds like anything else. =x
 
in my opinion best new amp under 1k is the ashdown mag series. excellent tone, huge power and good price. i like the ampeg b115 too but the sole 15" speaker is a bit lacking to me. i'm more a 10" fan.
