Thanks! I will definitely NOT be buying that amp I saw at the music store and look around in pawn shops, and over the internet. Also thanks to Roadkill for the link.

I have a 500$ amp budget and my small 30W one is going on me. I saw a 50W one for 400$ and was wondering if thats how much a new 50W amp should cost or if the music store was just cheating me. The guy said the with 500 bucks I will only be able to get a 50W one and I am fine with that but I just...

What are they? I thought that there were no chords on the bass but my music teacher(not bass teacher I am teaching myself) told me that their are some for the bass. Could you please name me some and what their use is? ~ Thx:cool:
