Yard Sale: Cheap Bass Amps

My friend Ron has upgraded to lighter gear several times since going through bass amps and so these two are available on the cheap in-shop. The above is a Crate B80XL for $100. It's in good working order and actually sounds pretty darn great. The low-boost and 7-band EQ lets you sculpt your tone to get it right in the pocket and I know that its XLR-out sounds nice because I remember using it at events with him.



This somewhat-worn-around-the-edges Austin practice bass amp sounds about like a 25 to 30 watt job. It's bare-bones and practical but the addition of a compression knob is nicer than average. It's $50 out the door.
