| New used amp! I just picked up a Peavey Mk III Series 300 CHS bass head for $90 offa Craigslist. I took my Ashdown Mag Deep 2x10 in to test it and the guy played his Ric through it, and I thought it sounded pretty darn good. $90 seemed like a darn good price. I have read pretty good stuff about these online. This is older, I think, but I can't find a year on it. I think I got a deal. The gain pots were a little scratchy... I put a little contact cleaner through em. Quiet as a mouse...
I am pretty happy with my rig, really. I have an Ashdown EB 180-15" combo and I add the 2x10 extension. I have never played anywhere that that was not enough, and I really like the sound. But I was thinking the other day: I always have a spare bass at gigs, spare cables... Probably oughtta have a spare amp... If the "head" in my combo goes out, I can hook the 15" in the combo and the 2x10 up to the Peavey... Seemed like a good idea, anyhow...
