Hello all ~
So I have decided the next thing I am going to get for my playing / recording pleasure is a bass setup. I am not a bass player and don't want to invest much money into it at this stage so I am probably going to get one of the recommended "cheaper" basses like the Yamaha RBX170 or the Squier Vintage Modern Jazz Bass (depending on which one feels better to me when I go try them out).
My first questions is about the Acoustic brand bass amps I have seen advertised in my guitar center flyers. Are they pretty good? I am looking at these 2 and trying to figure out why I would want one over the other and what the main differences are:
Acoustic 260mkII 1x10 100W Bass Mini-Stack Black
Acoustic B100mkII 100W Bass Combo Amp Black
I mean, they are both 100W amps but one is a mini stack and the other a combo - pros and cons?
I will mainly be recording but also want to have an amp so when friends come over we can do a little jam session.
One more question:
I was leaning towards the mini stack because of its direct out it has for my recording purposes. Do you think the direct out of that amp would give me a better sound / capabilities than this DI box?
Eden WTDI World Tour Bass DI Preamp Pedal
I had planned on getting the DI box originally but if the amp's direct output gives me as good of a souind or better then I wont bother picking it up.
Thanks in advance for any advice you have!
