[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1362508220' post='2000459'] Both amps quoted will have remarkably different sounds. If you like traditional warm sounding bass, go for the Fender - the Rumble series have a great tone to them, and, unless in a very loud band, the 150 is ok for small gigs in pubs etc. However, if you like a much more modern clean biting sound, then the GK is the amp for the job. I`ve had amps by both, and, for the music you play, I would lean towards the Fender. [/quote] Good advice, I'm thinking Fender as well from the reviews I have seen.

The Fender Rumble and GK are both offered new at about £350 and thats pretty much my budget. Second Hand would be good but I live in Spain and don't fancy lugging one on a plane and the courier cost for a heavy item would be silly.

At the ripe old age of 56 I have been learning bass guitar since santa brought me a starter bass with 20w practice amp. I love it and now really need to buy my first decent amp. I like to play Blues/Rock and I am getting pushed by friends to get up on stage with them at small venue jam sessions. Money is somewhat limited so I am thinking maybe a Fender Rumble 150w or Gallien Krueger MB112 -II Any opinions or alternative suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Newbie Bass Guitarist now living in the south of Spain In my fifties and started playing for the first time, about a month into it and its great!
