so the band i'm in has been playing an increasing number of shows, and i'm getting tired of asking people i don't know if i can borrow their bass amp at shows because i don't have my own. the thing is, i've never really had one and don't know a goddamned thing about bass amps. any bass players here with some suggestions as to what i should be looking for? i want cheap but with enough balls to play small to medium sized venues (or that is suitable to be mic'd to a PA). it doesn't have to be super high quality or anything, because the type of stuff we play is pretty welfare sounding.
ps: dear chojin, i know fartin mowler plays bass... could you unban him from this thread only?
