I'm lookin for a really nice combo amp up to 850... although I'd be a little happier with less....

My first combo was an Ampeg B100R ( I think thats the model number). It was only around 400 bucks, nice amp. Not loud enough for a loud rock band, but a great amp.

I couldn't find the mesaboogie combo, but that ampeg one looked nice, mau.

Ampegs are great combos too. Are you looking for a practice amp? I saw the Mesa combo in their catalog.

No I'm not looking for a practice amp.... I'm lookin for a good sized combo that's quality and can be loud.

Well, if you can find that Mesa I think it has 600 watts power and I think the preamp on it is tubed but that is just a guess.

I've heard good things about the SWR 2x10c, but also check out the Peavey Bam 210. Trace Elliot also has some good 410 combos so check them out as well.

The bam 210 is a bit too expensive for my taste, but I'll check out hte Trace Elliots...

Rufio, did you hear anything about the Ampeg 115HP? i'm really interested in that cuz it's the wattage i'm looking for and the beef from a fifteen incher i'm looking for. lol, SOMEONE tell me about this model cuz right now i'm assuming it's no longer in existance the way te public hides it
