| Help me out here-I want a new combo amp

Hey,
So, I'm in high school. Blues-rock, classic rock, alternative. I just had my band's first gig last night. Went very well. I wasn't nervous at all. Very fun. About 10 songs, the gig lasted maybe 45 minutes, it was a local restaurant that hosts free music every friday from 7-9pm. My guitarist was using a Marshall 10 watt solid-state (little thing) but loud enough for small gigs. practice amp basically. The 2nd guitarist (who isn't a permanent band member) was using a Fender Super Champ or something like that.
I was going into a direct box into a small PA, with my Ray34 instead of using my little Ibanez practice amp. Everything sounded great, I was not drowned out at all.
So, my bigger amp, is a Fender Rumble 75 I bought about a year and a half ago. It's pretty good, but I've seen some ok deals on Craigslist and Guitar Center's used section, on bigger combo amps.
I don't like the Rumble's EQ that much, and the overdrive is okay. It was only 215$ new at a local music store so I went for it. It's a decent amp, I just thought that if I have the opportunity to upgrade to a bigger (maybe used) amp for cheap, I might as well.
So, I've been looking at GK, Ampeg, Acoustic, etc.
I've only got about 30$ of cash, plus whatever I can sell my Rumble 75 for.
I'm kind of in the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" way of thinking, but hey, a BA115 would be a bit closer to the SVT i've wanted (right?)
I don't have the money for cabinets and heads so I want a combo. Say I got 150 for my rumble. I may save up a bit, so what's the best combo amp under 350$? I'm considering new and used. |
