ASHDOWN 427 SMALL BLOCK HEAD, BTA 400 TUBE HEAD & USA 810 CABTweet
Playing through an 8x10 (affectionately known as ‘fridges’ by most people) is something every bass player should do at least once in their life! 4 x10 cabs are cool and typically more than enough volume to smash out any gig but 8 x10s really need to be heard to properly convey their tone, power and sheer size.

EGNATER TWEAKER HEAD, 1 X 12 COMBO AND 112X CABTweet

It’s definitely still minimal fuss but how about the option of being able to flick a switch for some extra dirt or to refocus the low end?

EDEN WTB300V HEAD & 410XLT CABTweet
Pushing the scales in terms of bass amps WTB300V is a solid piece of work and forget the tiny little, slick amp housing — this screams rock and roll with a big chassis, black grill, solid edges and is really more reminiscent of a ballsy guitar amp.
