i recently purchased two bass guitars - an acoustic bass guitar and a 6-string electric. both are relatively low-end instruments, more to give me some practice than anything else.
i'm interested, now, in picking up an amp for use in my church and elsewhere. i don't need some massive stack or anything, more just something that's big enough to handle itself in a small performance setting (our church is about 300 people on a sunday...and it's a church ).
the amp i use at church is a peavey kb/a 300 (it's a 150w amp, i think, based on a 15" woofer). it gets a decent sound, considering it's a keyboard amp, and has approximately the power i'm looking for. so, any suggestions on a decent bass amp in the 150-200w range?
i'd prefer to spend under 250$ or so if possible, and i'll likely try to buy used (i never buy new for most pieces of audio equipment).
also, if anyone wants to explain some stuff about heads, cabinets, etc, that'd be great. i'm not certain that my grasp on general amplifier concepts is as good as it could be.
