Greetings from the Pacific North West

Picked up a nice 2005 Fender MIM J bass today. Getting back into it after about five years away from playing bass. Looking for info to become a better, more knowledgeable bass player. Thanks

Welcome... don't get too caught up in the gear, just play the damn thing

Welcome! What part of the PNW? I lived in Seattle for about 10 years.

^some sage advice right there!

I’m in Lakewood.

Thanks, no I’m not too worried about gear. However, I’m doing research on combo amps. I’m in the market for an amp that is loud enough to play with a drummer but not too heavy to move around.

Cool! I have a few friends that bought houses around Tacoma, they love it down there.

what’s your budget, style and tone preferences, and playing goals? My first thought is Fender Rumble 200

Welcome. TalkingBass.com and the getting started string in the General instruction section should get you going.

Happy trails.
