Orange v Ampeg

Hi chaps!

I fully understand that somewhere this question has more than likely been posted, but.....

I'm looking to purchase an bass amp that requires the following:

-To be used for recording/rehearsal/smallish gigs
-Be pretty small and light
-Be between 100w and 500w
-Have flexible tone
-Have a DI out
-£350 is my limit (although I'm not against the idea of clawing a little more together if need be)

The two contenders so far are...

Orange Crush Pix CR 100 BXT 100w (£265)

And

Ampeg BA 115 HPT 220w (£350)

Or Ampeg's PF 350 head (£294) and save for a matching cab (£350!) later????

Ps I have played the orange and been impressed for the size and money.

Any experienced views would be helpful.

Many thanks in advance!

Neil

Thanks for the reply Fretless.

I went Ampeg in the end. Got myself a S/H B100R £340.

Mighty impressed so far!

Great both in looks and sound!
