Bigger amp needed?

ok so at the moment I'm playing at gigs through a 30w Bogey combo which I DI through our PA. However we have lots of problems with the bass booming out through the monitors and I also suspect that the constant problems we have with the tweeters blowing in our PA is due to this.

So, would a bigger amp 50w or 65w and a subwoofer sort this out?

Tell us more about your PA setup - makes and models etc. You shouldn't be blowing tweeters if adequate crossovers are in place unless you are overpowering them significantly, or driving your power amp so hard that you drive it into clipping.

Let us know more details and we can better advise.

didnt know bassists used amps smaller than 100
my combo is 100 and is ok for the quiet places i play..churches
i was on pa once but the same booming etc
i think it lies with your desk and sound man
personally i didnt like being on pa as i wanted to be in control of sound and tone
i realise of course this is foolish from a real stage set up
but you will find i think most bassists like to have the power and the projection on their patch
