brinstar Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Would anyone be able to recommend me a versatile, 30/40 watt valve amp? Preferably between £250/£400 quid. I just want an amp that will last me and has a fair amount of potential, as our band may be gigging quite soon, and my amp at the moment is so unreliable it's untrue. It should be able to handle cleans, crunch and higher-gain quite well. A combo too so I can lug it to and fro to band practise. Cheers, help would be very appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liamoc123 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I was thinking of getting one of these http://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_bentonhbt1500tbk_egitarre.htm due to the fact I'm broke and need a new guitar. I have some crappy strat from ebay, you know one of those sets with some crappy amp e.t.c. I'd imagine it only looks nice and doesn't sound so nice, if not I may save for longer and get a Yamaha Pacifica 120, or even one of these http://www.thomann.de/gb/peavey_generation_ex_custom_bk.htm Please give your opinions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooropa1310 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Id for sure go with the first one, it looks really nice. Especially for the price. Though the second one does have a better quality wood, you will probably get moar from it tone wise. but you could easily upgrade the pickups in the first one for less than the price of the Peaver and get a better guitar. I vote Harley with upgraded pickups and a proper setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else reckon the same as zooropa?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play like shit! They're really made by a company called Shine which are a terrible brand and not one of them plays nicely! Peavey on the other hand are pretty fair for the amount of quality control and parts you get for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samcoma Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Right I need a decent bass amp. Nothing to powerful as it's just for recording. I've been using a really terrible sounding 15 watt guitar amp (marshall mg15) I know n00b. I'm looking to spend about 200 max on it. Any suggestions?

Â if its just for recording, id advise you not to buy an amp but buy a tech-21 sansamp bass driver DI. theyre the balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samcoma Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 cool, what are you looking at changing? Probably my current mixing desk/usb set up. A preamp (which the sans amp will do nicely) Just bought Scott's Midi controller/usb midi interface. Going to get a 3630 as well and probably a decent synth. As well as some nice new Mic's.

james90 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Sam, are you still looking for a floyd'd guitar? If so, go try one of these...NOW http://www.music-man.com/instruments/axis.php was going back to see if my peavey was there so i could get it back, but it wasn't. this was, and i tried it - it's quite similar, but better in many ways.
