If you can spend $300, then the Ashdown Electric Blue 12" 180w is tough to beat for good tone and overall value.

But the best thing to do is play YOUR bass through as many amps as you can find in your price range, and choose the one that seems to be the best match.]]> Opinions and Polls slejhamer https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/first-bass/#post-200486 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/first-bass/#post-200364 Mon, 25 Sep 2006 00:56:18 +0000 Opinions and Polls spidey4549 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/first-bass/#post-200364 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/first-bass/#post-200191 Sun, 24 Sep 2006 00:51:10 +0000 Opinions and Polls spidey4549 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/first-bass/#post-200191 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/first-bass/#post-200106 Sat, 23 Sep 2006 05:40:59 +0000 Opinions and Polls slejhamer https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/first-bass/#post-200106 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/first-bass/#post-200075 Sat, 23 Sep 2006 00:15:24 +0000 Opinions and Polls spidey4549 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/first-bass/#post-200075 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/first-bass/#post-200046 Fri, 22 Sep 2006 20:10:11 +0000 Opinions and Polls Dan Lasley https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/first-bass/#post-200046 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/first-bass/#post-199973 Fri, 22 Sep 2006 12:26:56 +0000 otherwise, i'd go to a big guitar center or something and play a bunch until you find one you like. i used to own a tradtition p-bass i really liked. it felt good in my hands.
i don't like squires either. most are junk.
here's a bit of advice. don't play an electric unamplified too much. you'll have to play harder, and that can mess up your technique.
check out talkbass.com it's a great site with a lot of helpful pros.]]> Opinions and Polls Anonymous https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/first-bass/#post-199973
