Thanks Leen,
Already lined up an Ampeg Mirco-CL stack, which is 100w and has a 2 x 10" cab. I think this will do me for my home practicing and have enough oomph to play with the lads when ever we jam. Been looking at a few basses over the last week. Having to wait until pay day (next Thursday) is already killing me! Haha! I have managed to acquire a Encore bass to tide me over but it's just not the same.
