-about a month and a 1/2 ago i think i posed this question, b/c i
wasn't happy w/ the "bass" response in my small 8" speaker amps (12 watt
kustom & 10 watt marshall). there were times when i could hear the
bass response just really crapping out, since i usually tune down a
whole step to D (i've debated trying a small bass amp too). i had a nice
discussion w/ jeff duke and he said that he uses a behringer ultratone
keyboard amp that has a 12" speaker (can't remember wattage-maybe 90?).
i watched a couple of his vid performances in his studio (jeff post
them, i can't remember site off hand), and i thought his sound was
great/amazing even coming over my tiny computer speakers...
-it reminded me of yrs ago, back in '94 i tested a peavey tele and
the small store had a 50 watt pa head-wow, that was an amazing sound,.
so clear and crisp!
so the next time one of my amps craps out, i'm going to get
something w/ a bigger speaker (i'm thinking small wattage 12" speaker
hopefully).
-oh-& there was a review done by craig anderton in a GP a yr or
2 ago about how he uses some portable PA system for his live playing.
it's lighter than a big tube amp & he liked the sound (i can't
remember the brand, but i remember looking up the thing after the review
and saw it was way over my price budget-i thought close to 1000$).
-2 months ago i bought and tested a crate v20 (now discontinued i
think) tube amp, 20 watts w/ 12" speaker. it sounded great, but in my
little studio IT WAS WAY TOO LOUD!!! great bass sound though i thought.
i took it back and decided to be happy w/ my smaller amps.
happy searching...always searching for the best
tone...neverending.......
