New guy from Jersey

[thick groove]

Hi everyone!
Guitarist swimming into the deep end. I've been lurking for a while, learning a lot of stuff and thought I'd take the first step to getting all the bass out of my head and into reality. I did once own a Peavey Palaedium for a time, but foolishly let it get away.... I never even got an amp for it.

But I'm looking forward to starting over!

Welcome to the deep end! Howz the adjustment going?

I'm still bass-less until next week when my Lakland arrives. Now I have to get amp shopping!

Ohhh... fun! What are you looking at so far? (I'm in Jersey myself)

I'm thinking combo, but I'm not sure which direction to go. I don't know if I should get a small practice combo for now and then later look into getting a larger head/cabinet set up as needed.... or if I shoud try to get a combo with some power to it as a do it all amp. It's tough because I need to keep things on the cheap, while at the same time I'd like to give the Lakland at least a little tonal justice.

In the do it all category I've been looking at GK backlines, Fender 150, Nemesis silvers and Ashdowns. Not excactly cheap.

I wouldn't bother with a practise amp - at least not under 100 watts. I'm just plugging into my stereo "mic in" whilst I'm saving for a rig I can gig with! Depends if you are mainly practising at home I guess.
