Here are both my gig rigs. The Ampeg B200r I use for the blues/soul gigs and my Ashdown ABM500 and Barefaced Supertwin for the Classic/heavy rock gigs. Both are plenty loud enough. Seldom get the master volume past 9pm (25-30%). 
I think the ABM500 cost about £170 s/h and the Ampeg was around £200 s/h. The Barefaced ST was a lot more but you should be able to get a half decent Ashdown cab for between £100-200. Personally I’d look for a s/h Barefaced Compact 1x15. Much louder than the super compact and about half the price of them s/h too

This doesn’t need a phantom power box/supply. A regular 9v psu works fine. 
The OP was just asking about taking phantom power from the mixing desk. 
The answer as it always is, is: depends. Depends on the mixing desk. Does it have PP or is it just a basic PA system with line and mic inputs only. 
Personally not worth the risk on relying on other people. Mine has a battery in and a PSU. Just to be doubly sure. 

The Sansamp runs on either 9v battery, regular PSU or phantom power. Pretty versatile bit of kit. I have the 3 button programmable version 👍

Gosh, they do seem to be going up in value these well loved pedals. Glad I bought mine a year or two ago. 

Final reduction.
Only £40 inc postage. 

From what I remember from my music business degree. It’s a standard 3% fee of box office takings. Even bands like U2 and Coldplay get charged (indirectly) but get it back from PRS (minus costs/admin fees etc). *Not exactly correct but you get the gist. 

What a retro beast. Lovely! 

If it is, buy it, you won’t regret it!  
Here’s my B200r at a local NYE gig. Love it. 

I had one of these back in the late 80’s when I was young and stupid. Weighed a ton but sounded fantastic! My back aches just looking at it 😂

Get a P Bass.

Problem solved!

This bridge is superb and are £100 new. 

Weekend bump for a fantastic quality bridge.

Price drop to just £45

I thought Future Islands were great. He reminded me of a young(ish) Marlon Brando, whose party pills had just kicked in whilst at a Northern Soul night. 

One now sold (5 hole on hold). 

Just the lovely 4 hole version left. Comes with box and screws and key, etc. 

Sold. Please lock. Thanks. 

I have the 3 button version of this. Great pedals and so is to re-program. Built like a tank too

Here is a set of s/h of La Bella deep talkin’ flatwound bass strings. These are the 1954 original vintage 52/73/95/110 James Jamerson bass strings. I bought them to go on a new build bass but in the end put on round wounds as my other P bass TI flats on it. They are in good condition. I never actually used them but the previous owner did. Looking for £22 + £2 postage

Here I have 2 Hipshot A style chrome bridges for sale. They were to go on a new bass build for my birthday. I bought the first one from eBay on a punt as I couldn’t see how many holes were on it on the photo and the seller didn’t respond so I took a gamble. Unfortunately it had 4 holes but wanted a 5 hole version to line up with the bass body.  
I then bought the other one here on BC a week later. 
Myself and my bass tech then decided that as it was going to be quite a vintage looking bass, one of the original fender bridges would probably look better. So that was what we did! D’oh!
Each bridge is £50 including postage. 

How is this amazing bass still here?

If I had the spare funds I’d be all over it right now. Andy is a top bloke too!
