Hey all, it looks like it's new amp time! My band booked a few shows in December and January--the first being a basement that holds 40ish people and then a larger bar show that can hold probably 100 or so. Right now the amp that I have is a 100 watt no-name solid state from the early 2000's. I don't think that it gives me enough head room, especially in a room that's dampened with people. In other shows that I've seen at the same basement, other bassists seem to be using around 200-500 watts or so. If all else fails I could also probably go line out into the pa though too.

What amps are you using for similar venues?

Right now I've been looking at the TC electronics BG 250, but anything that would offer a good cost to volume ratio would probably work well.
