Hello,

I am fifteen years old, and my band is finally starting to take off. All musicians in my three piece band are talented jazz musicians, but our main focus is Indie rock. We play alot of jazz for now, seeing as we are all very experienced with it, and i need a good amp for my double bass. I need something just for small shows, something from 5o or 75 watts and up. I have been looking almost exclusivley used, due to lack of funds, and mainly at the acoustic brand. Something maybe like a B200H and B115 cab? ALL suggestions are helpful, no matter brand, i just need to know my options.
Thanks,
AM

Skatevu,
I don't know what you are planning to spend but that little MBS mentioned above is a really nice amp, very portable, and is voiced properly for DB and EB. Since you live in Raleigh the Acoustic Image factory is close by, their new Ten 2 is a lot more expensive than that little GK but it's very portable and a lot more powerful. Acoustic Image

Oh dont worry, i have drooled over these on many occasions. The GK suggested earlier is much closer to my price range

Buy the GK and be glad you found it at a good price. I have one of those early ones (made in USA) myself and don't think you could do any better without spending 2-3 times that price. If you need more power use it with an extention cabinet.
