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!
I am trying to get to a basic standard before I pay for lessons but I really like the stuff posted on youtube by Scott Devine and Paul Wolfe they help me a lot.
First decent amp, advice needed

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.

Good advice, I'm thinking Fender as well from the reviews I have seen.
