Thanks JMonta. I decided to go with the Carvin BX600 and BR410 that Barisaxman had up for sale in the classifieds here. http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=641803 Now all I have to do is start working on my push ups so I can lug it around. Ha!

Very nice!

Ouch Joe! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Very helpful! What a nightmare at the gig. Reminds me of that Spinal Tap moment when Nigel Tufnel gets the air traffic control interference on his wireless and just trashes the guitar onstage. Ha! I'm keeping all my options open. I've got plenty of...

Yeah Glenn. From what I can tell, my budget is right at a price point. Another $100 or $200 could open up a lot more options. We won't be gigging heavy for another month or so, so maybe I just lay off the restaurant food and save a little more. Seems like that will pay off in the long run...

Thanks for all the advice guys! Our band does have a PA and the sansamp idea is kind of intriguing. I'm off the Line6 idea I think. I'm gonna look at the Hartke, the Ashdown and also the Carvin. That is definitely in my range. Thanks again!!

They have this one for an extra $100. I couldn't afford it now, but could definitely save for another month or two and get there. Is it worth the extra cabbage? http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LD400Pro/

Snyderz, is that the back of a fox head in your avatar?

Thanks for the tips guys! I'll keep that 300W minimum in mind and go make some racket! Will let y'all know how it goes. I'm about as far away from a "gear head" as you could get, so this should be interesting to say the least :)

I have an Ibanez SoundGear bass with active pickups. I'm an old guitar player trying to wrap my head around bass. The SoundGear has a really great feeling small neck and doesn't weigh two tons and that's mostly the reasons why I picked it up. It's like the perfect small handed guitar player's...

He has already been mentioned, but this conversation, for me, begins and ends with Leland Sklar.
