-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.......
