Thanks for the advice, I must say this is the best and most instant service i have ever had on a forum.
Sorry should have stated Genre,
It will be mostly Alt Country / Folk styles so nothing loud really, the last band I was in our base player (upright Bass) only used a very small Eden amp no matter what size gig (some times lined throught the PA but not always) although this was a bluegrass band so no loud drums to get over.
