im gonna play in a band and all i have is a a dinky squier practice amp.i wanna get an amp around 100-200 watts and good sound that doesnt get distorted for under $300.do u know any good sites that sell good,big used amps.
ebay is always interesting to check out. At least you can look at what's offered and see what they go for. If you haven't visited ebay's amp section, there's like a gazillion amps for sale at any one moment. Try the "new today" search to narrow things down. Good Luck.
Bassgear.com is IMO the best. If you keep your eyes open it's amazing what you can find. I found my second BH-420 (400w @4 ohms) recently for $250. There's a pair of EA VL110's on there now, with padded Tuki covers for $600. That's my current setup and it's excellent.
