Lol you can tell he’s a guitar player but still an alright bassist
haha, i was thinking the same thing. Which is perfect for me, because i've been playing guitar for 20 years and i'm looking to get a bass for messing around with, and to add to my songs that i've recorded.
Guilty as charged
😆
@@99bajakid i got one of those sterling sub basses for the exact same reason and it sounds really good.
When your bassist does his lines *before* the show
Thank you, Russell Brand
Freddy Desposorio abstinence bass’d recoverband 😂
Rusell LaBrie, you mean.
Thank You Freddy, I just couldn't reach it but I knew it was someone I had seen before.
lol
He does *NOT* look like Brand, FFS. Brand is a Pratt; Dagan is cool.
Bought the Orange Crush 50 after watching this video. I love it!! Using my Hofner ignition with flats, it gives me loads of range and plenty of power for my use! Still playing with it, but used amp for $200, I did good. Thank you for this review!
Glad to see a new Dagan video. You’re my favorite presenter on PMTVUK, always entertaining and fun to watch. 👍
I agree!
Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘
I move away from the mic to breathe in.
Lol was coming in hot with the chocolate rain comment
When he got to that Orange Crush amp, I was SOLD! Too bad the trademark orange-colored versions keep on selling out, the black ones just don't get any love it seems (lol). Something about all-analog circuitry that just appeals to my "old school" nature, plus the price on that 50-watt featured in the vid is hard to beat for my money and more simplistic tastes. Can't wait to finally own one and hook my recently-inherited 1974-75 Gibson EB-3L up to it....
:-)
Great presentation of all of them. Enjoy your playing too. I just started playing bass, and use an older Fender Rumble 30 amp.
Geez, what an intro!! I'm all in
It’s So Easy...cars are crashing every night. I drink & drive, everything’s in sight. I make the fire but I miss the fire fight. I hit the bull’s eye every night....It’s So Easy
Man, what a record!..I appreciate your review(s), but damnit...I listened to Appetite a month or so & couldn’t quit it for a week. I sat down with it on a P-Bass Special & headphones and played it cover to cover many times. It’s NOT So Easy....and I fell in love with Rocket Queen again.
my man dagan still kickin it, i dont live anywhere near the uk but i keep comin back for this dude, legendary keep doin what u do
Many thanks for this video! I played acoustic guitar for many years but I'm a very new (and uninformed/inexperienced) bass player. I recently refused an offer to buy an old bass amp and this video shows that I made the right choice. I'm on a tight budget but I'll follow up on the brands/models you reviewed. Via the video, you opened my eyes as to what different brands/models now offer. Which is a whole lot more than the old bass amp I was offered!
Lfg
What did you get- check the new Rumble 40 for casual playing. It's really good and cheap.
Amazing, I'm been looking for a great amp for my home schtoodier!
Ashdown makes some nice sounding bass amps for sure. Using the Apptek connector allows all the great music iOS apps to color the tone. They work nice as a guitar amp too. The drive button makes a pop when activated so it's not seamless. You can't really switch it live, it's more of a set it and forget it but clean or driven the amp sounds good at any volume setting. I've had a Vintage AAA 12 for five plus years and it hasn't given me any issues at all.
Waiting for all the bassist elitist to shit on everything in this video. But great video and helpful bc I need a bass amp that's not like 10 watts
Those GNR riffs sound fire!
MAN!! That Ashdown is SWEET!! I'm instantly falling in love with it . I've never seen such a cool looking bass amp like this before. Especially a cool looking meter!!!
Seen their Geezer Butler Head of Doom amp?
You know full well vid/broadcast is compressed. Now great demo wonderful choices the Blackstar pretty cool Always loved the ideas Orange came up with The blender control smart impressive The Fender sounds great very creative Ashdown I remember from awhile back Allan Holdsworth? But I do love Marshall bass amps call me crazy Thanks for the demos always informative and fun
I just absutely love watching you present your content....you makea me laugh. Thanks for taking the scary out of choices.
orange amp ' s built in distortion was something else
Cesar Machado oh yeah. I’ve got an orange 35rt amp and the dirty channel in it is literally the best distortion I’ve ever played. I don’t even use my boss dsi or tube screamer anymore.
Go with the orange, owned all three of the crush series, lovely sound for the price and they never break! Trust me i've tested them, ha ha.
@AnotherWacko same here bruh
im in quite a big struggle between the Fender Rumble LT25 and the Orange Crush Bass 25, the orange sounds a bit better i think but the versatility of the LT is also very appealing
@@pyotrilyichtchaikovsky3733 Orange for def
Meh- not bad. I like the Rumble 40.
BRO! You are SO SICK ON THAT BASS!!!
Been Playing Bass 30 years I wish that Fender was around when I was a newbie...I might buy one just for my studio. Some of those tones were great.
I own the Fender Rumble LT25 and I play an Ibanez SR300 and i was forever trying to get a good sound from these 2 items together. I dont believe the LT25 works well with an active bass due to all the digital presets. I finally set the amp setting in 01 Studio Clean & removed the Stomp and EQ and set everything else (LOW< MID< HIGH) to 5.5 (which is 12 o'clock) and keep the Gain at 6 and the volume at 8.5. I set the Ibanez with everything at 11:00 and play it on passive. I finally bought a Fender 50 with none of the preset sounds and love my Ibanez now. Now just have to get a passive guitar to play on the Rumble lol.
Good you say that, I have Ibanez aswell and considered buying the Fender
@@joandrumz3176 same here
I sent my SR300 back the same day I received it. Bad tone. For a slight upcharge I got into a slightly loved SR1300. Wow. Night and day difference in tone, feel, looks, quality.
Good video, I really wish everything wasn't played with a pick though. I never play with one. Thanks for the info though.
these amplifiers are more expensive than beginner bass guitars
but not more expensive than bass strings
@Free speech for the dumb yes.
@Free speech for the dumb Show us on the doll where the budget gear touched you.
Oha türk
@Me you and the animal wth does bampot mean lmao
If I was forced to buy a new practice amp, it would be that Fender Rumble. Usually I prefer the used market. Lately I was searching for a reliable amp for band rehearsal, I found a Peavey TNT130 for just 100 euros which I call a deal.
Great review, great information on bass combos, great commentary, making a Squire bass sound fuc%@#! amazing! rock on brother Dagan!!!! thank you Cheers mate!!!
Rob Duffy you censored the wrong part of the f word XD
After watching this, now I know why the salesperson recommended me the Hartke. And I’m glad that I listened to him
Decent amps. I have a Rumble 40. It's solid but, I still prefer my Peavey Max 112 amp.
Dudester. U r so GNR!!!! The real thing, baby. Big fans here in L.A. Cheers!
I definitely don't miss LA or Southern California for that matter.
My favourite Bass player who uses Orange amps is MISA. She plays Black Cloud Bass into Orange Amps. The Barefoot Assassin.
Nice review!
I think the modeling Fender's are way better for bass than for guitar. And i am a guitarrist.
But this Fender Rumble LT 25 has a awesome sound!
Im divided to buy one of those or to buy a Peavey Max 100.
Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘
Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘
Where is the THUD, Dagan, get a bass player to do these reviews. They all sounded like guitar amps. I've heard them reviewed elsewhere where they did sound better.
I agree first part...but get the R40.
I’d recommend the Acoustic amps, a b25c and a b50c are perfect for a starting bass player and they’re super cheap
*screaming at the screen* JOHN MCVIE! JOHN MC-VIE!
Bass purist for the win lol great job mate
My dads old Ashdown is my Favorite, as far as i know my dad is my favorite Ashdown User.
You need to try the Monoprice 20W or 40W. Never heard their bass amps but their guitar amps are legit.
Aldus Snow with a good review
Thanks ill stick to my fender 80s valve rigg better than anything today but to heavy time to downsize
Sick intro bass line... I’ve been playing guitar lately and that just made me spend future money
its a GNR song titled It's So Easy
I have a Hartke TX300 head paired with a orange OBC112 . Great tone and awesome volume and Bottom
All l get is compliments on my sound
Watch your ears Lawrence. You don't want tinnitus that keeps you awake every night for 10 years. Don't ask me how I know. If you keep up those volumes, she will come and visit you eventually. There is no cure. It's like a mosquito trapped in a glass next to your ear. You don't want it.
appreciated that little bit of muse riffage in there
I used to gig with an Ashdown rig.
Sweet rhyme bro!! 🤙🤙
which one of these would be best to play with a band?
Was that first riff you played "its so easy" by GnR?
Yes
Yes, sir, it was.
You missed all the Peavey stuff. Ah, and the small Ibanez Promethean series, Marshall MB and some Behringer Stuff.
All good Amps, l played them all.
im in quite a big struggle between the Fender Rumble LT25 and the Orange Crush Bass 25, the orange sounds a bit better i think but the versatility of the LT is also very appealing. Keep in mind this would probably be the only amp i own for quite a few years
5:50 reminds me of Type O Negative
In this lesson we’ll learn I can’t get no satisfaction by the Rolling Stones.
Fender rumble 100 is great, Peavey are ok too.
Every single thing you played on Fender Rumble makes me finish it and complete fucking song. Don't know whether was improvisation or someone's songs actually.
he makes it seem "so easy" to choose
"Fender makes strats and T shirts" love that comment!
Hey Dagan! Is that bass you're playing the Squier Classic Vibe 60s Jazz Bass?
Seems that he asserted it adding it is has almost a good tone as the Fender ones
Squier had made a upgrade on its pickups, which were its Achiles heel
Its so easy!
ITS SO EASY🔥🔥
Honestly I like using cheap cabinets for basses because with my settings and my skill on bass it makes it sound good, I got a fender cabinet for $200
I can't stop looking at that gorgeous Epiphone Casino Cherry in the back...is it a Coupé?
I think every video from this channel I swear I hear sirens in the background everytime
So it makes me wonder how bad is the crime there lol
@Javier Ambrosio I mean it could be and if that's the case then my thought still stands crime or I suppose there could be people dropping like flys I guess
I just tell myself someone stole something now and it's the door alarm lol
Btw...that Ashdown is a collector's item now
..
I have an SWR Workingman's 12
Did the black star amp have a tuner?
i have the ashdown and it sounds really muddy even though im using that same bass
OLVRHWES which one, 60 or 100
The 60
I don't know how similar the pickups are to a spanish style electric, but you may need to lower your pickups. Pickups being too close to the strings will make a guitar sound muddy, set them too far away and they sound thin.
Do we see a Markbass ?
MISA from Band-Maid plays an Orange bass rig
What's the song at 12:49 ?
What a big joke the first rif was! Haha I was waiting a deep bass drop full of impact.... but the Fender amp had just 1% what I expected haha
Last time I went into pmt notts, they didn’t have one bass amp head! Very sad 😢
I don’t know why so many people hate the Rumble..!!!??? I used one for gigs for years.. had a great DI… the only goofy thing was the red glowing light at the bottom.. inside the open baffle…
My Rumble 100( with one 15” speaker is from ‘98 s I believe..?
I use mine with my 92 Gibson T-Bird.. and a chorus pedal..👍🏼
It is muddy, my rumble had the 15' inch speaker, i switched to a markbass and a yamaha 2*10+ horn, definetly worth the price
@@thomasluce3512 .. before the Rumble I had a Hartke cab with a 15” aluminum cone and Galien Krueger head… had to sell that rig because I got into some financial trouble..😩…
Ohhhhh well…
@@joeurbanowski321 sorry to hear that. At least you can bass and that's the main thing
Ahahajaja! I have the Orange and I put the cable in the wrong jack all the time!
I think that Ashdown was discontinued.
i dont see the peavey max 100 enough in these kind of videos.. you get 100w,a di out, a tuner and alot of other features at much cheaper than all of those
Are there the same effects on the Fender Rumble 100?
Fender Rumble 100 has only overdrive - drive/level and EQ
Ok...thanx
does anybody has an opinion on the Ashdown Studio JR 1x8" 15 watt, is the new bass combo? I've been looking for a tour bus but they are sold out. thank you!
10 inch speakers are the smallest worth considering to hear bass low end imo.
people in the comments talking about the amps not being cheap like you guys are buying a new one each week.
Idk, the first amp's sound was very abrasive I thought, I played a peavey keyboard amp with a band and the tone was perfect, I'd rather a simpler interface without the bells and whistles if it was appropriate for gigging
I just bought a tnt 115 Peavey
do bass amps have cracking sound when played? i recently bought one and i have noticed it has cracking sound when played
@Jeffrin Johnson something about the speaker isnt right. first week i thought it was normal but i couldnt head that noice on other bass amps. i tried contacting the shop where i bought it but they wont let me use warranty because they suspected it was me who did it. i noticed it the first time i tried it at home but thought it was normal. my fault too for not bringing it at the shop by the time i noticed the defect.
@Jeffrin Johnsonmy dad tried opening the amp. the speaker was damaged. will replace the speakers soon. for now its working fine in low volumes.
For a good replacement speaker Try using an aluminum cone subwoofer or a hartke bass speaker (tone is cleaner and with less distortion,helps with more control over bass frequency, and packs a punchy tone.)
@@jeremypoythress4995 thanks for the suggestion :))
what if I get 25-watt bass guitar?
Can i ask something??what happens when you plug-in your e.drums to a bass amplifier?
I’ve used a bass amp with mine .
Dagan: Uses pick on bass
Davie: that’s illegal
mr red it’s a joke ffs
lol. Paul Mccartney, Chris Squire, Audun Laading, Justin Chancellor, Lemmy Kilmister, Carol Kaye.
Oh, and Carlos Dengler too.
@@Panellada22 shitty bass players
why you should play bass with a pick? it's not a guitar, maybe if you play rock it makes sense, but for the rest fingers are the key of a good sound
@@UgoTannico lol okay buddy
Neither 1 of my bass amps made the list? Ooh wait reread the title; bass amps that DONT suck. Both of mine are Behringer. So they started out life sucking. Mostly tone. But for as cheap as I got'em, I'll take them. 300 watt 15 in speaker combo. Makes some noise.
Someone that knows the name of the last song he played on the fender amp???
warmthness
Russell Brand really knows his stuff
Why does he not do any fingerstyle picking?
he's a guitarist
does he have to?
Yes he should show different playing styles and different sounds. Therefore he should fingerpick also.
Ashdown do more than bass amps.... they make guitar amps, acoustic amps, pedals, headphones and now even basses.
Tube bass amps that don't suck
What?
Who the hell was clicking a pen all through the video?
None of these amps are "cheap" in Australia!
Jason A Collis the Fender is $300. That’s pretty cheap.......
Elfelectric laughs in poor
300 USD si a Lot of Money in My country so... All is relatively
Where did the Fender Rumble 100 go?
Thats not considered a "cheap" bass.
Yo, anyone know the song at 21:45? Love the song just can’t put my finger on the name of it.
The chain by fleetwood Mac
John McVie
What bass strings do you guys use? I’m a boomer man
LaBella Deep Talkin' Bass strings .045 - .105 Stainless Steel Flat Wounds 760FS-TB standard long scale for through body bridges (Fender Precision)
33:48 What is that song's name? Or where is that bass line from?
bizinder can be “rappers delight”
Rhcp can’t stop
Good Times by Chic
I don’t want a bass amp with a computer screen, I just want decent tone. I want my bass amp to sound like bass. Is that too much to ask?
they don't all have screens. problem solved
Even the ones with computer screens got decent tone and sound like bass, it isn't too much to ask because u already have it with these options.
Was looking for amps not for combos ;)
Rly hard to find stacks on a budget :/
I had the Beringer UltraBass for a little while, not good. Still sad, that my 25 year old Warwick Amp died - no spare parts available. It sounded punchy, dry and powerfull.
8:51 what is the name of this song? can't remember
Sweet child o'mine?
@@DanielNicotra1 thank you, i did not recognoize bass)
This guy wears the right cloths- black T shirt, silver necklace, just enough stubble but he is about a believable as a bass amp that plays distortion. I know many bass players but not too many that dance around like him and make all those faces. Just keeping things real man- settle down. Maybe I'm wrong- maybe he is a a great player and super guy. Just strikes me as a salesy corporate type who was told to go sell some amps. Sort of like the dudes who show up at the bike rally's on new $30k+ machines, dressed in fresh leather jackets with crisp looking boots and homemade patches. I guess they have every right to me there- just don't try to cat like one of us and sell me.
Bottom line, a very good, at home bass amp is the *Rumble 40* (not 25.) I actually play and have tried them all. For under $200 it truly cannot be beat. I even liked it more than some of the $400 amp on the floor at GC. It is very adjustable. It has classic bass tones and it's light- about 18lbs. I believe.
Which squier is it?
Squier 60s Vibe
Seymour Duncan p'ups
unfortunately, i thought all of them sounded like arse. Maybe it's the Squire?
I have a similar Squire, he needs to roll the tone off. Not the bass.
