Cheers for all the help guys. Theres a big guitar shop not too far from me, and I know they stock alot of ashdowns, so i'll probably go and try out what they've got. I think I would rather go for a new, I dunno, thats just me. Talking to a guitarist friend, thats definatly powerful enough. he knows the place where I would play (local band night) and he recons 120watts is around powerful enough (as it can just be mic'ed up). But, I'd rather have too much power and turn it down as opposed to the other way round!

Sorry, forgot about that. I'm propably looking for a combo, as thats the most affordable option (and best for a beginner) as far as I've heard.

I'm looking at buying my first bass amp. (currently using a small old guitar practise amp at hope until I get a bass amp ) Unfortunatly, I know very little about amps... I'm looking for something I can use at home/band practise as well as small gigs (local band night etc). My budget is around £200, although I can stretch to £250 (or above, it just means it'll be longer before I can buy). So, what advice/recomentations can you give me?

Thought I'd make an indro topic, just to say hello. I've been playing bass since the beginning of the summer and guitar for over 6 years incluuding 5 years of classical guitar lessons (which have helped me get straight into bass as far as right hand technique is concerned. I find fingerpicking far easier than using a pick!). I currently have an OLP MM2 (stringray copy) and I really like it. I play a variety of things (jamming with friends etc), mainly rock but also some punk, some funk and some other stuff. Oh, and I've also a fan of slap So thats me, Hi!
