Hey everyone. I am new to this board, and this is my first post. Sorry if this is a little long-winded.
Just a little background: I have been playing bass for about five years now. I consider myself a decent player, but not great. I play semi-regularly in a cover rock 'n' roll band (we do some originals too). We need a new drummer...(different story, different time).
Anyway, I own a Peavey TNT 115S that I use for gigs and playing with the band. However, for solo practice in my apartment I have a crappy little Epiphone amp that came with my first bass (an Epiphone Accu-Bass beginner setup). The amp has kind of a "farty" sound and doesn't handle the low end very well at all. The speaker is pretty small...five or six inches I think? I would like to find something that has good tone for both playing on my fretless Fender Jazz bass as well as my American Standard P-Bass. I play a lot of punky stuff, as well as classic rock and alternative type music.
What can you all recommend for practicing in an apartment? I am not too concerned with it being too loud...our apartment is rather isolated (kind of hard to explain). I don't want anything huge, because it will be used mainly in a cramped office/computer room. I would like to stay under $300. Only interested in new equipment (too many bad experiences with used stuff).
Thanks,
Mason
