awesome
Post pics and review when it arrives

love to hear what you think

Being that I'm still green with bass equipment I don't think I could provide any useful info on the amp and the specifics of it. The only thing I would probably say is if the amp sounds good to me or not (which isn't a lot of useful info). But again, with the lack of experience at this point any amp would probably sound good to me.

Re: Combo amp suggestions.

Well, I finally made my choice. I'm going with the Tech 21 VT Bass 200. I got a reasonable discounted price on it. Should be here next week. I want to thank you guys for all of the help and suggestions.

It's all a matter of a reputable dealer. Sweetwater or MF, I wouldn't think twice.

Re: Combo amp suggestions.

What are your opinions about "open box" items. This is in regards to the VT amp.

Re: Combo amp suggestions.

Both good combos. I have an Ampeg SCR-DI which is the front-end of the Ampeg BA and really like it. I go from that pedal into an EV ZLXP-12 powered PA speaker: loud enough, sounds good also at low volume, and can be used for many other things.
Have you look at GK MB combos?
Personally I prefer an head/cab over a combo. Have you look at Trace-Elliot Elf? You then can choose whatever cab you like.

Actually, I have not looked at the GK's or the Trace Elliot's. Which I will do. Thanks for the suggestions. I'd like to keep it simple so a combo would work the best for me.

The usual amps that Guitar Center carries. They do sell the VT Bass 200 but they didn't have one in the store. The smaller stores had a couple of Rumbles but that's about it. So I "think" I've narrowed it down between these two amps.

Tech 21 VT Bass 200.
Ampeg BA-210v2

They are the same price. Obviously, the Ampeg has two 10" speakers and the VT has one 12". The Ampeg offers more, but, I really don't need all of that power. No plans on gigging. So, that's where I'm at so far.

I've had a VT deluxe pedal for a couple years and love it. Hard to go wrong with Tech 21 products.

Re: Combo amp suggestions.

The RBI would be great with a PowerStage 700. Any Tech21 preamp is great stuff.

Yeah, it would. But right after I posted, I realized he was asking about combo's.

Re: Combo amp suggestions.

I always thought that a Tech 21 RBI, mated with an ART SLA-1 or 2 would be a killer bass amp.
