Not too many gigs, our bass player and our other guitarist has 60 watt amps and my squire 15 can't keep up with them. Most of the playing I do is just with a few friends but I was figuring on buying one with about 60 watts that i can use for just playing around or any gigs we might have, plus our school guitar instructor now teaches band and he hopes to have us play in the gymnasium, and I with an amp that size I was hoping could last me a long time and not need to upgrade until far down the road
