Morning all. I'm new to bass after playing lead for 25 years and need some advice on an amp that I could gig with (small gigs).

I will be playing classic/modern rock, bit of pop and some 60's- nothing too heavy!
My options at the moment are:
Laney HCM160b
Crate BT100
Laney linebacker 120b
Laney RBW200

Any other suggestions under £200 would be helpful.
Cheers

Welcome to Basschat!

My suggestions would be:
1. look for a secondhand amp
2. separates are better for upgrading/transporting but budget may be a factor
3. avoid Laney or Crate if you can!
4. Look for at least around 200watts - or you'll be flogging your amp from day one!

Also, you could easily pick up a [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=bass+combo&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_mPrRngCbx=1&_udhi=189&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313&_nkw=peavey+bass+combo&_sacat=0"]Peavey bass combo[/url] within your budget. These are solid and reliable and don't sound bad at all. Can be heavy though!

You should have a look in the for sale section on here too. There is rarely a bargain, but you should be able to pick up a good quality amp that has been looked after.
