JackAndrews Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 its off Gumtree (trade-it style website) and its 65 watts: Laney Session 65 Bassman Combo Amplifier. it was only £45 for a rather large bass amp so i kinda just bought it spontaneously. the cheapness makes me ponder about the quality.. is it good?

Arcane Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 my bassist friend has a 160 watt one, and that is an awesome amp. yours is probably of a different series but i had a listen to some other ones and they aren't half bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunge Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 My Laney bass amp is a beast. Sounds brilliant and has endless amounts of beef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Laney bass amps serve a purpose, they can make you loud, but as far as tone goes? No, they suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they suck. have to agree. they're decent beginner amps (having owned a Laney DP 100 bass) but once you get to play a bit more you will want a different amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I still want to know what Peavey you use. Swear I asked you aaaages ago, I dunno, but I wanna know! Ahah It's nothing special, a TNT 150 or something. I like it because it has crossover outputs so I can use a guitar combo for the top end. I only use the peavey for very loud lows, not really for "tone". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only use the peavey for very loud lows, not really for "tone". I seeeeeee. That would explain the other amp in the pic of the "master's place". Can't quite see what make it is, though. I'm trying to get a bit of growl out of my Ashdown, but it doesn't seem to be happening. =( Wouldn't mind a bit of growl, if I'm honest, and I can't seem to get the right amount out of ODB, either.

cheddatom Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hmmm, growl from an ODB-3. Turn the gain down to 8-9 o'clock, bass at 1 o'clock, treble at 10 o'clock, balance at 11-12 o'clock. That should sound half decent? To be fair i'm not a big fan of the ashdowns i've played. I like a graphic EQ on my amp. Try boosting mids a bit more?

Just tried all that, sounds pretty alright, actually. Might keep it. =) Thing with Ashdown is, it's powerful and it's cheap, and that was the real attraction for me. I'd LOVE to afford something like a Trace Elliott or something, but alas, I r broke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Trace works pretty well with Ashdown, but mind it's still a very budget solution, depending on which series you're using. I'm using a Trace Elliot GP7 150 (300watt peak) with a MAG410T cab. Powerful, backbreaking and approx worth 350 pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your ashdown 2 x 10 or 1 x 15? If the latter, get a cheap 2 x 10" extension and it'll sound miles better IMHO. EDIT: Check here for a cheap 2 x 10" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Check here for a cheap 2 x 10" ...It's a 1x12 Electric Blue combo. Yes, my gear is made of fail. But, looking back, it was far easier to lug around, along with the collosal amount of gear my old band took to gigs. I'll get me a head+cab when I can eventually acquire me some moolah.

cheddatom Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 If you got a 1 x 15" or 1 x 12" to go underneath it might help loads. You don't necessarily need a head and cab setup. I've always used two combos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always used two combos. This is true, as you've stated before. Might go for that, actually. It'll have to be a 1x15, obviously, since surely having a second 1x12 would be useless as I have one already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Well, your 1 x 12" combo probably isn't powerful enough to cover all your lows. If you had something like a shroeder (sp?) 1 x 12" and a head, then that would be powerful enough for everything. If you fancy a bi-amp set up, I would get a cheapish 1 x 15" combo at least 200W and add a guitar 1 or 2 x 12" combo at least 50W. If you like your current combo, you could add a 1 x15" or 1 x 12" extension cab to it and that would help a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
