I've used a Ampeg 100 watt Rocketbass combo for some recording sessions and it sounded very nice.

Any small Peavey works good for very little money. IMHO

I'm an unashamed Trace Elliot freak. Dual purpose ... I use the 715SM for practice, I can DI frim its preamp, and I stick it on top of a 1048 cab if I need to do any trouser flapping.

This is one sweet sounding recording amp...

Or half of this has been popping up at quite a few studios...

I am a big fan of Ashdowns...they do one called the after eight and another called the perfect 10. Both great little amps

IMO

You can never go wrong with AMPEG

I remember endless drooling dreaming afternoons as a teenager, poring over the Rose Morris catalogue and wishing my dad was rich .... Even when I forgot almost everything else (the dark years) I sill remembered the feeling I had every time I thoughta" Portaflex" ! Man did I want one of those badly ... never did get one tho ...

That's perfect set of kit !! - Even the guitars are strung the right way around !!! ... (of course ... I had to make sure the amp wasn't a gepmA before I said that)

Well I've seen the Ampeg B-15-R sell for just under 800.00 bucks used.

SWR Workingman's Series, the 12 or the 15 are great amps to record with or gig with. They have built in DI so you can to go direct to the sound board or into recording equipment. Versatile.........IMO

I have an Ashdown Electric Blue 15" 180w combo and love the sound. I bought it for small gigs and to keep around for rehearsal and now actually use it for most pubs shows. It has some great tone variety at an affordable price. IMO, best combo for the price ($350 range).

I have one of those little Ampeg combos, the Rocketbass thingys, and I wouldn't hesitate to record with it.

If you don't need a practice amp and just want to record the Tech 21 Sansamp Bass Driver D.I. sounds great. Especially if you want the overdriven SVT sound without spending $1600 for an SVT. I never cared for it through my rig but for a live or recording D.I. it's hard to beat.Here's a sample or two.....
