practice bass amp recommendations?

[dg27]

I need to buy a small (1 X 12 or 1 X 10) bass practice amp. I have not bought an amp in years and could use some guidance in terms of what's out there.

The three I'm considering are these:

Ampeg BA112 (1x12")
Fender Bronco 40 (1x10")
Fender Rumble 75 (1x12")

Also toying with a used Ampeg B50R.

This is not for gigs: I use a vintage Musicman 100W tube head and two Mesa cabinets for that. This is strictly for practice.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Also give a shot to the l'il Kustom combos. I've got one with an 8" Eminence that sounds great, and very flexible.

look for a used Traynor YBA-2b ... 15 watt tube combo from the 60s-80s with a 1x15 , gets loud and breaks up nicely with active pickups... I know it is not on your list but they are reliable fun amps and sound wicked with guitar and pedals too. Out of your selection I would get the Fender Rumble 75 (heard many good things)

I still haven't found a practice amp and having been seeing a lot of Phil Jones on eBay:

Phil Jones Bass Double Four BG-75 Bass Combo Amplifier

I don't know this brand at all and wonder whether anyone has any experience with these.
