For a club that fits 100-150 people? http://www.thomann.de/gb/peavey_max_115.htm or http://www.thomann.de/gb/behringer_bxl3 ... rabass.htm (in reality, it's around 150W) ANY sort of info would be great!!! Please comment the sound, too... I think the Peavey sounds better...  Thanks in advance |

Goki, If this is to be used for bass guitar, I'd go with Behringer. I have a bunch of their rack components (mixer, eq, crossover, etc.) as well as a subwoofer cabinet for my electronic kit. The purists don't like them because they are copycats in the finest tradition, but I like Behringer because I got a lot of bang (boom?) for my buck! Cheers,  BrianPS; If this is for bass, SWR makes some excellent combo amps. But, I'm sure your selection a bit limited. |

Thanks Brian... We went to the store today, and a Behringer amp is no longer available... Only available options, in the whole country are: Peavey MAX 115 Fender Rumble 75 Fender Rumble 150 Price is more or less the same - 75, than 115, then 150 model. All are made in China (like I thought it would be different)...  When you guys play a jazz/latin gig, what size bass amp covers your live drums unmic'd?!? Would 50W do, 75W or 150W... The guitarist has a 60W Fender Princetone... |

[quote="Goki"][/quote] I can't answer the question on specifics, but in general, all else being equal, the larger the power specification the better, particularly for bass. A very relaxed high power amplifier will give cleaner and more defined sound, even at low volumes. As I understand it, there is no such thing as too much power; there is only too much volume... or too little power. |

Which can require a little bit of driving/pushing if you want that sound  , but that applies more to Guitar.Most Rock bands would run minimum of 200-300watts  for Bass on stage, Valve Amps don't require such extremes, but a 30w Valve guitar Amp will Chew up and spit out a 200w Solid State Bass Amp.I know you don't require that kinda power, but you're looking at a reasonable size venue, judging by the quantity of people. If its in the budget, get the most powerful option Take your Guitarists Amp into the store, and try the 2 together
