Not sure where that is but $70 sounds quite limiting. If you can't find anything of quality for that price, I suggest going without an amp until you can save up for something in the $200 range. At $70, the amp would likely have no resale value and would possibly be just $70 wasted.
Neenah, Wisconsin?
If it's for practice, a second hand small amp, like the Ampeg BA108 or BA110, or a Fender Rumble might do.

$70? $200? Buy a used Peavey, Ampeg, Fender, Yorkville or GK on Craigs List or in the classifieds here. Check out these: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] , [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] or [Invalid or Expired Link Removed].
Welcome to TB. $70 doesn't sound like a lot to spend on a decent amp, so you may be better off saving up for a good one. As you are saving, check out local yard sales, flea markets, classifieds, etc. You may get a bargain, but always investigate gear thoroughly so you don't get burned. New gear within your current budget is either nonexistent or garbage. Hope this helps.
Yeah save up a little more dough and do a tIny bit better.

Everybody needs a bedroom amp. This would last forever if you take care of it. $79.

Edit: That Peavey Minx 110 in Madison looks sweet. Go take a look at that one!
Edit: That Peavey Basic 112 looks good too. Looks like you have some solid used options.
Good luck!

There is a nice TNT in Madison for $200. That is a good, solid amp for that kind of coin and pretty bullet proof.

I second this suggestion. I dont think Crates are very good amps, but i've found that they actually sound really good by themselves (not in a mix) making it a great amp for practice/learning. however when you crank it at practice its gonna be pretty mediocre. Ive got a $700 amp and I still use my crate when practicing solo at home.
I don't think I paid more than $50 for my Ashdown 8 something or another from Musicians Friend. Also Link Removed you can find lots in your price range. BTW, we play Neenah about twice a year. Great little town
Hi Talkbass, this is my younger cousin.I just got him into bass and he's full of questions. Thanks for all of the input.
I would take a Saturday and drive down to the Music-Go-Round in Greenfield. I go to the one in Kenosha, but always check online to see that they have what I want. They had an item shipped from one store to another for me for no additional cost, but they aren't always willing to do so. It's not terribly uncommon to find a decent amp close to your budget.

Kibble, milkbones, and P Basses. And redheads.
For that kind of money, the standard answer is used/ heavy.
