I haven't had any guitars at home over lockdown, so have started playing some bass.
I have been finding it relatively enjoyable, so I am looking to get a practice amp in the $4 - 600 range.
What would you recommend?
This is by far the best new gear excuse I've heard in a while...
Respect!
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

PM Oleg. Don't know what he's asking but he has your amp.

Hey...if I may freeload on this thread whilst it has an audience...any suggestions on an amp to suit dog house/double bass? Fishman pu and pre equipped. Compact and lightweight, a must. Cheers, chaps...in advance.

Have you tried Acoustic Image?
No. When I do play amplified, I've just gone straight to a desk. There's been the odd time when I've gigged with a drummer and my sound ends up lost, on stage, as a pitch colour of the kick, no cut through...wouldn't mind having a smidge more control over my sound/vol. to hear pitch definition so I'm not left imagining/guessing too much in those clutch moments. Acoustic Image the way to go then?
The SWR California Blonde is a good option. It is a 2 channel amp for acoustic instruments but because it was modified from an SWR bass amp, it plays electric bass very well. 120 watts with internal speaker & adjustable tweeter - 170 watts with an extension speaker. I might be tempted to sell mine - I also have a Carvin AG100D which actually fits into my tiny car boot, but with my medical issues, I'm not sure if I need two amps.
