    Yamaha, Peavy, Ashdown...I'm a first timer buying used, I need advice!

    hmm, interesting. i'm going to go see what they're like this evening. it seems like the most sensible option for me. i didn't really want to spend more than 500-700$ and i think this kit could do what i want it to do.

    I also have the possible option of buying just the head here and there is another guy selling an Ampeg BSE410H for 350$ that would be compatible with the yamaha head. I'm guessing this would be more durable and give a better sound?

    Give me songs to learn too!

    I've been playing for a few months. I practice a lot and have already gigged a bit. I need some songs that are a bit beyond beginner. I want something that is challenging but still manageable.

    Amp advice

    I'm fairly new to the bass, I started playing about 4 months ago. I recently played a three-week tour using a bass rig lent to me by a friend (100W fender bassman head and two vintage marshall 15'' speakers). Now I'm shopping for an amp of my own. I've had some recommendations from...
