OK,as some of you who've heard my music know,I overdub loops and play over them. I don't have a drummer to compete with. I am the drummer(I tap out beats on my pups thru various pedals). I like to play guitar thru bass amps,in order to capture the lows for when I'm playing pick up drums. I'm not rich. Recommend me a good,cheap,giggably loud bass amp that sounds good. I don't wanna pay more than 200.00 Is it out there? Does such a thing exist? Anybody?

Look for a peavey combo 300.

Pretty sure you can get one that cheap if not close.

I wish I could think of something other then old Peavys but I can't... Time to start digging in the junk shops and pawn shops maybe.. you can sometimes find really odd stuff cheap... and sometimes not....

check out the ztamps?

loud as hell and stay clean

I got an ampeg BA115 combo for damn near $200...I think it was $230 after shipping. Shortly after that, the band in which I played bass broke up, so I tried to sell it to a guy locally for $200 and ended up letting it go for $180

aww,I'm sorry ,man... Too bad you don't still have it

Used peavey, acoustic, and ampeg stuff is the best bet. All can usually be found in that price range also. I used to see the old acoustics in the $200 range all the time.

I second old acoustics
Though I just realized they started making bass amps again
Saw them in GC the other day

Yea, I have/had 2 of the new ones. A small room combo and my current main amp, b200h. No complaints so far.

Would that 20 wt. Acoustic Bass Combo be loud enough for a guitarist to gig with?

Depends on the gig.

small club,for the most part. Then,for larger gig,maybe mic'd thru a soundboard? 20 bass amp watts are louder than 20 gtr. watts,right?

Oh man, Bloo. I can't believe you missed the BST thread I head up for like a month. I had a Peavey Mark VI in there that I totally would've cut you a cool deal on. Anyways, I highly recommend that model

The 20watter(b20 is the one I had) would likely get drowned out by drums . You would want to mic it for sure, IMO.
