On drums...

For a club that fits 100-150 people?

or

http://www.thomann.de/gb/behringer_bxl3 ... rabass.htm (in reality, it's around 150W)


ANY sort of info would be great!!! Please comment the sound, too... I think the Peavey sounds better...



Thanks in advance

Goki,
If this is to be used for bass guitar, I'd go with Behringer. I have a bunch of their rack components (mixer, eq, crossover, etc.) as well as a subwoofer cabinet for my electronic kit. The purists don't like them because they are copycats in the finest tradition, but I like Behringer because I got a lot of bang (boom?) for my buck!
Cheers,
Brian

PS; If this is for bass, SWR makes some excellent combo amps. But, I'm sure your selection a bit limited.

Thanks Brian...

We went to the store today, and a Behringer amp is no longer available...

Only available options, in the whole country are:

Peavey MAX 115
Fender Rumble 75
Fender Rumble 150

Price is more or less the same - 75, than 115, then 150 model. All are made in China (like I thought it would be different)...

When you guys play a jazz/latin gig, what size bass amp covers your live drums unmic'd?!? Would 50W do, 75W or 150W... The guitarist has a 60W Fender Princetone...

I can't answer the question on specifics, but in general, all else being equal, the larger the power specification the better, particularly for bass. A very relaxed high power amplifier will give cleaner and more defined sound, even at low volumes.

As I understand it, there is no such thing as too much power; there is only too much volume... or too little power.

Agreed, othe than Valve/Tube Amps. Which can require a little bit of driving/pushing if you want that sound , but that applies more to Guitar.
Most Rock bands would run minimum of 200-300watts for Bass on stage, Valve Amps don't require such extremes, but a 30w Valve guitar Amp will Chew up and spit out a 200w Solid State Bass Amp.
I know you don't require that kinda power, but you're looking at a reasonable size venue, judging by the quantity of people.
If its in the budget, get the most powerful option

Take your Guitarists Amp into the store, and try the 2 together
