i loved the tone that I was able to get from the Roland Bass Cube that I bought on BC and only sold it when I got in a band and needed more power. If you can get one second hand (I had the 30w version) it should be just north of £100, leaving plenty of cash for other bass toys. If you want to spend more money then maybe a Phil Jones Bass Briefcase may be a good bet for home use, but even that would leave plenty of change. Quite often the extra cash gets you far more power, lightweight, boutique 'name' but not necessarily better tone at low volumes If you don't need the power then I'd agree with Doddy
