Hey guys, I need a bass amp.

Looking to spend around $500. I'll need an amp loud enough to play with a full band.

I literally know nothing about bass amps.

I would love an amp that can handle a tube screamer or boost, and a fuzz.

Thanks guys
 
Re: Bass amp advice

If you are looking for a combo amp I recomend a Carvin BR515. It is 500 Watts, has a 9 band graphic as well as a 2 band parametric EQ so you can really zero in on your tone. You can hook up a tube screamer or fuzz between your bass and amp or run it in the effects loop of the amp though I always put distortion in front of the amp.

Guitar Center has some good deals on some used amps. They have Trace Elliot Amps AH350 for a few hundred, you might even be able to pick up a 4 x 10 cabbinet too

I'd be all over Craigslist. I was visiting down in your neck of the woods a few months ago and picked up a Hartke LH1000 and a 4.5XL in near mint condition off of Craigslist for $250 in Vallejo.
