Double Bass Amp and Pre Amp questions

[bassmastan]

I'm looking at a little orange 1x8 for my upright and a k&k preamp I can clip onto my belt. I'm wondering if these are good for the money? I am buying the amp so I can just throw it in the car and leave it there for small gigs or practices. I'm looking at the k&k just because moneys tight, going for something cheaper and efficent rather than the greatest thing ever made that costs an increadibly large sum of money.

I suggest trying the amp out to see if it really produces enough sound to augment the bass.
