Help Guitarist buy gear!

Hi everyone . I been playing guitar for four years and am now looking to purchase a bass. This will mainly be used around the house(apartment) with the ocasional jam with friends(in a real house).

Since guitar is my main thing I'm not looking to spend a great amount of money here.

I've decided I can spend around $400.00 to 450.00

So I've narrowed my amp choices down to the following three...

Ampeg BA110 30w $199.00

SWR LA 10 35w $199.00

Behringer BX 300 $119.00

 

As far as Basses I'm leaning toward a Rondo www.rondomusic.bigstep.com but I'm also considering Yamaha and Ibanez and OLP.

 

Any thoughts on these amps and Basses or any further recomendations?

 

Thanks in advance.

Everytime yamaha get loads of reccomendations, once you pick a certain model post it here and you will soon know everything you never really wanted to know about that bass and some useful stuff.

hehe, yea.

 

Think of Carlo Robelli and Jean Baptiste (wind instruments) for Sam Ash and Squire, or if they have a store type brand, for Guitar Center.

Look into the Yorkville XM50C 1x10 combo amp. Got mine used for $185 (shipped!) off of ebay and it sounds huge. Only weighs 26 pounds, has an XLR out. New, it's $249 (free shipping) at Musiciansbuy.com. I highly recommend this amp; I use it at my church and prefer it to our church's Carvin RL610 stack. Deep, smooth tone. Fits anywhere too.

Regarding basses, I had an Ibanez GSR200. Too much fret buzz and weak sounding open G string. I much prefer my brother in law's OLP 4 string --great full punchy sound. My current bass is a Schecter C-4 Diamond Series in Antique Amber which I love. Cost me $460 or so (including sales tax) at Guitar Center. Goes for $499 in Musician\'s Friend.

Check out the Ibanez SRX400 as well. Huge sound.
