Ibanez SR485 natural finish/Marshall BassState B65 amp Demo

Here's an Ibanez SR-485 5 string bass for your consideration. It's plugged straight into a Marshall Bass State B65 amp. The EQ on the amp was set flat...any tonal changes are from the controls on the bass, playing dynamics, and/or me standing in front of the camera and blocking the built in video camera mic. The Amp's built in compressor/limiter was engaged, but just slightly...more for speaker protection than anything else.

Here is a link to my current eBay auctions if you are interested...

Thanks for watching!

@greengtrs Thanks for the help !:D

@wardragon431 Hold out then and save some more...it's tough now but you'll be happier in the long run...in reality, you need at least (or as close as you can get to...or more...) 100 watts and either 2 ten inch speakers or a 15...especially if you are dealing with a loud drummer...I'm using a Fender BXR 100 now and it's okay but not great and I would like to replace it with something better but it can work...see if you can find a used Peavey TKO (they are like 75-80 watts & a 15" speaker).

@greengtrs i´m looking a good pratice but it also can be used to play with a band :D

[greengtrs]

@wardragon431 I've never played on an Orange Bass amp so I couldn't say...but 50 watts isn't enough power for a bass amp if you want to compete with drums...my advice is to save up even more so you don't have to replace it immediately. Are you only looking for a small practice amp?

[wardragon431]

@greengtrs Thanks for the help :D I´ve founded a 50 watts orange bass amp for about 125 euros :D What do you think about this amp ?

[greengtrs]

@wardragon431 Look for used then for sure...you want as many watts as you can afford...and at least a 10 inch speaker...try an advanced search on eBay and limit it to $150 and under (including the shipping...I think you can do that)...I like the GK amps for a good small amp that really puts out a big sound at a relatively low price...but see what you can find in your area used and let me know your choices are...send it to me via a message on my channel page...

@greengtrs my Budget is 140 euros (i live in europe )

[greengtrs]

@wardragon431 It was a great little amp...not really suitable for gigging but cool around the house and for practice...what's your budget...maybe I can make a recommendation...

[wardragon431]

do you recomend the amp ?

[greengtrs]

This one is a very boring one and I sound very tired (maybe even sick) in it but it's probably the only one I've done that you've watched. Look for some where I use a loop as a backing track and I jam more freely...but keep in mind, these are really only for me to show that they work for my eBay auctions and I am a guitar player so in general, as a bass player I try not to overplay and sound like a guitar player but maybe I'll just not try to hold back in the future and go off more...

Thanks
