    SVT of course.




















    :)

    It was super cool and sounded good, although it did have an annoyingly noisy cooling fan and was very sensitive to the exact load impedance when being run at 4 ohms, which made it less useful both in the house and as a grab-and-go head than I expected - even after I changed the fan for a quieter one. (The cab shown is 8 ohms.)


    Serious answer - probably a Fender Rumble, the little ones are really excellent for the money and have a very effective limiter which means they can be driven harder than you would expect without making nasty farty noises or stressing it.

    If you can find a good cheap bac I'm about to list my Tech 21 VT bass 500 head.

    Then she can have B15 - SVT tones all in one unit!

    I have the Rumble 100 and I think it's great for my occasional bass needs - and sometimes as a guitar amp if I need something light to carry.

    Rumble! Little boxes of genius. 
    I’ll handle this Violet, you take your three hour break.

    If it's any use to you then I've got two starter amps going unused since I upgraded if you're remotely near E.Devon:
    • Kustom KBA10R - free
    • Marshall MB25 - £80

    I'm looking after my nephews Marshall 30 watt Bass combo at the moment. It will be up for sale soon.

    It depends what for - practice or gigging?
    Markbass amps & cabs are very portable.
    Though I've never had one, a lot of folks like Rumbles.
    The older high-end Trace Elliot kit is stupidly cheap at the moment (but it is heavy!).
    Other aspirational high-end brands are Ampeg & SWR.
    An alternative is a pre-amp pedal into the PA.

    Peavey - also cheap but weighty. It will probably still be around after Putin nukes Eastern Europe.

    The unfashionable 200w Marshall DBS stuff is a lot of amp for your money. 
    Be seeing you.
