Looking for my first amp!

I would go for the 100.

And, when you setup for your garage jam, get it up on a two or three foot stand.

You'll be able to keep up with the drummer and not strain your amp's capabilities.

Good luck!

 

The 100 is only 16" wide and weighs in at 22lbs. It'll be fine in the house.

There's headphones out and a nice volume control.

And, if you get a gig, add an HPF and you'll be good for smaller venues.

For the band name, good luck with that! There are epic threads around here on the topic.

Should you be concerned about volume in the house, just remember you don’t HAVE to turn it all the way up!

Cool. Most 4x12s are guitar cabinets. We can pick good setups on the cheap if you need help.

 

SWR 15 combo.

SWR Workingman 15 Bass Combo Amplifier

That’s the best deal on craigslist near you that I can find. It’s a wonderful amplifier and will sound great at any volume. It has a DI and could potentially support your hobby for as long as you need. It’s really a great find. You could buy it at 150 play it for a year and sell it for 200.

 

It has the casters and the cover. I would not wait.

 

That SWR amp will eat an orange crush 25 for breakfast in skim milk. I think it’s 150 W. All those little practice amps are toys compared to it.

 

You will likely want more than 25w for a dad band in the garage. I would probably aim at the 100w range.
