Looking for a good bass practice amp

[sufferinrewind]

Hey, guys. I've decided that I'm going to get back into playing bass and make it my main instrument. I'm looking for a good, clear combo to practice with and maybe doing a little recording with. My only requirements are that it be under $450 and lightweight. Under 40 pounds is good. 35 or less would be ideal.

Thanks, guys.

I have a Hartke B30. It's decent. My son won it in a SamAsh online giveaway. It's been discontinued, but it was around $100 at the time.

There's also the Bass V-Amp.

My dad gigs with a Roland bass amp. He paid less than your limit.

I just saw a show where the bassist played through SWR 2x10 combo...super loud...here is the cab only...

I'll look at that later if and when I look into building a bass rig for shows. I'm just looking for a small practice combo for the time being. Thanks for the heads up, though.
