I played bass as a house bassist for a local jam night for about 6 months. When I first started the jam night, all I had was an '80s Ibanez Roadstar bass with Dimarzio bass pickups and a Sansamp Bass Driver DI box through the P.A. since I didn't have a bass amp. I saved up my gig money, found a used bass combo amp for sale on Craig's List, and bought a used pre Fender SWR Super Redhead 2x10 bass combo amp from a guy who worked for Bass Player magazine for $700. It was a good sounding versatile bass combo amp with 350 watts amp to keep with the drummer. I'd recommend it to anyone who needs to keep a bass amp in the studio or for cover band gigs.
