RobT Posted May 7, 2001 Share Posted May 7, 2001 I know the Bass Amp combo thread has been a very interesting one. Now let's discuss the Bass Head (separate amp from cabinet). Any recommendations out there. I ask because 1) I was at a rehersal over the weekend with my church's Praise & Worship group and my beloved GK 400B which has given me 20 or so years of faithful service finally died. It may be able to be fixed. If not I will need to purchase a new(er) one. 2) I am on a budget I'd like to find a new(er) amp for less than $1k (way less). But I am negotiable. 3) Hey Ed, are you using any of the Carvin sound reinforcment products (amps, combo amps, cabinets)? If so what do you think of them (time for a shameless product endorsement) and 4) Since I started this thread what do most of you all in Low End land use combo amps (ease of use and cartage) or the separate pre amp/amp/cabinet route (flexible sound)? Enquiring minds want to know ...

Ed Friedland Posted May 9, 2001 Share Posted May 9, 2001 RobT Currently I'm using an older Trace Elliot RAH350SMX head. It kicks butt and has been a real war horse. The Carvin stuff is a good deal for the money, I have yet to try the series III heads, they got rid of the tube preamp and went all solid state. I think that should be an improvement. I'm trying to switch over to the amp/preamp setup with my TC Electronics 1144 preamp, just have to find a power amp that can out-gun my Trace. ------------------ www.edfriedland.com www.edfriedland.com The Bass Whisperer Bass Whisperer TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
