You know...I would have to say the Behringer...If those are the only two I have to choose from. That Marshall that you are talking about is more like a novelty...it's for someone who wants to practice but doesn't want to wake up his roommate or something. They are just too small to play if you want to sit in with somebody else. The Behringer is a good bet because it's not a "bass" bass combo...and by that I mean it doesn't have a very beefy speaker, the wattage isn't very high, etc...I think with the right amount of EQ tuning...you should be able to get some decent sounds out of that thing. Afterall, J. Mascis from Dinosaur Jr. was none to have a Marshall SUPER BASS amp head in his line-up. Heck even the Fender BASSman is a guitar amp now!

Good Luck.

Marshall is a great amp, but why would you only want one watt???? Get the Behringer!
And I wanted to add, that if its at all possible, play thru them both before making a final decision.

like the person said before me i have a marshall half stack.. but one watt????!! ah thats not good id go with the behringer but inst that a bass amp?! hmm then i dont know what to tell you

i think that marshal is better for use ok , pertaining to ur kind and choice of music u play
