What is your present low wattage amplifier? In what way(s) is it unsatisfactory for rehearsal/acoustic gig type duties?
MarkBass, tc electronic RH450, v.2 Fender Rumble 150.
If you have the option for reinforcement through the band's P.A., how about the Fender Rumble Studio 40?
0 Watts. Doesn't exist. I have a QSC k10.2 FRFR and a range of preamps that form my compact rig. I have a Barefaced Compact 15" which I'm now selling to replace with a Barefaced One 10 for lightness and size.
It doesn't exist. That's pretty unsatisfactory.
I meant opinions on the Positive Grid modeller.. I have in the past had a Markbass LMII and LMIII, a TC Electronic 250, and a few other choice Class D's. My current 'big' class D is an EICH T1000. But 1000w is a bit silly for a small rig - and it's actually not that small. I know I can do better.
Combo Schmombo - Yes, I've played one. Yes it was good. Yes, It's lightweight. But a One 10 with a small head is actually smaller and lighter and fits in a Cajon gig bag at 30x30x50cm and will cope with up to 500w. (Quality and headroom, of course, not volume)
I was interested in the Positive Grid because apparently they have a B15 model which is exceptionally good..
I'm flogging a Barefaced 15" cab to replace it with a teeny tiny One 10, and I want an amp head that will basically sound just like a B15 and not some random Markbass, TC, GK, etc. etc. standard Class D fare.
I know I am directing my wee wee into the oncoming gale..
You'll be onto a winner with the One 10, I have the non-tweeter Midget.
My path to portable yet acceptable Ampeggishness was to purchase the least offensive Class D head to my eyes/ears (BB800) and add a Bearfoot Blueberry (you might prefer a Catalinbread SFT, a Solidgold Beta, or a One Control Solid Silver Peg).
Modular advantage.
A one 10 will be a different animal for different things.. and much as a real valve head would be great, it would be heavy.
I can't find an online demo of the full range of models for the positive grid mini bass head - but go check out the features list - it seems you can create your own amp models in the software..
I am inclined to believe this.
Is it worth it?
