Anyway, a good and cheap replacement: Eminence Beta 10. Handles 250w, so you can use it for other things if you outgrow the Rumble. Comes in 8 and 16 ohm versions; you'll have to see what your amp needs.

I happen to have one sitting around in a PA cab that I don't use ... send me a PM if you're interested.]]> Opinions and Polls slejhamer https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/cheap-bass-amp-2/#post-304867 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/cheap-bass-amp-2/#post-304863 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:42:21 +0000 Opinions and Polls aleholder https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/cheap-bass-amp-2/#post-304863 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/cheap-bass-amp-2/#post-304737 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 21:35:00 +0000

Seems like i could get some new practice amps for as much as they end up being on ebay. I think I'll just be patient for now. craigslist doesn't have much to offer in my area.

I'll just have to concentrate on getting better at the guitar :-P]]> Opinions and Polls ph0nage https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/cheap-bass-amp-2/#post-304737 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/cheap-bass-amp-2/#post-304735 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 21:14:03 +0000
Really cheap amps are not such a good deal on ebay, because shipping ends up costing a significant fraction of the amps price :-)]]> Opinions and Polls vink https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/cheap-bass-amp-2/#post-304735 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/cheap-bass-amp-2/#post-304716 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 19:11:25 +0000
An older Peavey is usually cheap and will last forever. An old "Microbass" should be easy to find on ebay.

The small Fender Rumble series sound decent, but I blew the speaker in one of the 25 watters while playing in the store. :lol:

The new Acoustic combos are getting good reviews too. (Acoustic the brand; not an acoustic guitar amp. :wink: )

The little Gallien-Krueger Backline 110 is also an okay choice.

Personally I'd go GK or Acoustic if buying new; older Peavey if buying used.

I did not care for the smaller offerings from Crate, Behringer, or Line 6. Great minds!

I agree with all of Slej's suggestions. Peavey's never die. I played through a small G&K at the Riverside Jam (thanks Helena!) and it was excellent, and lightweight too.]]> Opinions and Polls Dan Lasley https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/cheap-bass-amp-2/#post-304716 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/cheap-bass-amp-2/#post-304715 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 19:08:05 +0000
You can look at true bass amps, but keyboard amps can work in a pinch. Anything with a closed/sealed back should work. Around 30W should be fine. If you're on eBay, you can't try before you buy, so let us know which brand/model you find and we can give you some advice. We like to spend other people's money! 8)]]> Opinions and Polls Dan Lasley https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/cheap-bass-amp-2/#post-304715
