Looking to get a new amp: Need Recommendations

MikeLirette	Date: May 6, 2006 @ 9:26 PM Well I want an amp. Online. Around 250Watts and I need some suggestions
MikeLirette	Date: May 6, 2006 @ 10:07 PM Nobody has anything?
pog	Date: May 7, 2006 @ 3:43 AM Listening to the music you play, something with tubes. It's kinda like choosing underpants... only you can really decide what brand, shape and color suits you. So try lots.
pog	Date: May 7, 2006 @ 3:44 AM ...preferably new ones
GeneHilbert	Date: May 7, 2006 @ 12:45 PM I love questions like this..... Go to the stores and try things out. Pog is correct here, there are way to many choices, and to many variables. If history is and guide the Ampeg VST and the Acoustic 371 have been rock staples. Hartke, Trace Elliot, Bassman and Carvin are good choices. Availability and your budget will dictate. If it was me I would save my money and buy the best possible rig I could afford or get whatever I can find that will work for now and save every damn dime until I could buy my dream rig. Which for me would be a combo of the afore mentioned Hartke and Acoustic 371.
Alexsy	Date: May 7, 2006 @ 10:20 PM if i were you, i would get a 1959 Fender Bassman. It's only a $6,000 investment.
zedsalt	Date: May 8, 2006 @ 11:31 AM We're talking bass amps here, so it would probably be a bad place to continue mentioning Reverend guitar amps in my lame attempt to get a freebie, wouldn't it? Yeah (one of the models with a Schizo switch is what I'm after), I thought so (...even the little 5/15 watter would be cool), so I won't do it.
zedsalt	Date: May 8, 2006 @ 11:32 AM Incidently, I've always liked the sound of an Ampeg for bass.
hate9wicket	Date: May 9, 2006 @ 12:05 PM I'd get this, if I were in the market for it http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product?sku=481725 or go smaller w/ this http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Bass/Amps?sku=481777
