I`ve used the Ampeg at a gig, and I found it was no way loud enough for use in a full band. Very annoying, as I like Ampeg.

Out of those listed, I`d go for the Trace - our other bassist has a 150 watt TE amp and it`s very loud - no problems in a band setting.

I know it's unfashionable, but Peavey stuff is awesome. See if you can find a TKO or TNT combo over 250w. Yeah they look a bit 80's and clunky, but loud as hell and sound just fine. That'll keep you going for ages! And you'll have change for a nice set of decent strings

Out of those on the list, I would also go for the Trace. Same as Peavey; excellent build quality, sounds great and will just keep on going!

Truckstop
