Been using a Chinese built Ashdown MAG 2x10 combo for about 6 years, been utterly reliable in all that time. There's only been one time it didn't sound great, but that was because it was plugged in to an extension that was also running an LED light strip. Moved it to a different wall socket, and it sounded fine. IIRC, the MAG's were built in China too. Have a look on the back. The Rootmaster range had a good reputation as well.

Sweets for my Sweet - The Drifters / The Searchers

Souper Trouper - ABBA

Because the sound out front is more than likely from the DI anyway, the amp is just there to give the band some bass on stage.

Free As A Bird - The Beatles

The End - The Doors

Praying to a Malamute God - Mute Gods

Band on the Run - Wings

Ace of Spades - Motorhead (Obvs)

Warwick Red's are a good set of strings for very little money, used to use them for a while, then tried some others which just sounded better. Elites Stadium Steels used to be pretty good, and are reasonably priced. Current faves are D'Addario Pro Steels, but they aren't cheap. Amazon have a 4 string set for around £28-29, where bizarrely, a 5 string set is £26. IMO, they consistently sound great, and last for months.

Crazy Horses - The Osmonds

Sounds like I should keep quiet about loving D'Addario Pre Steels then... Tried a few different brands of Stainless Rounds, and the Pro Steels simply sound better on the bass than anything else I've tried.
