Amp advice

[uncle psychosis]

As a completely different alternative... Do you actually need an amp?

If you have a decent PA and monitors then you can DI the bass and get very pleasant results using some kind of DI preamp.

I do this and can fit my entire gig rig in my bass gig bag!

In your budget there is a BG250 B-stock at thomann's for a mere 232£, and this is a nice amp (i know i have it)

Wow, the response to my query has been amazing - thanks a lot everyone. OK, next step is to start reading up on the amps recommended and trying them out, where possible.
