This isn't about building, but it seemed like the best place to post it.

My 11 year old son and I are about to start building an Ashbory bass, and I'm looking for recommendations on an amp. Cheap and small would be good, though I guess that's kind of an oxymoron for bass amps. I'm hoping for something that he won't be able to blow us out of the house with.

Roland Cube. There's 20, 30, 60 watts.

The Roland Cube is a good recommendation for what you are looking for. Hard to beat. I'll second the recommendation.

Thanks, gents! I'll look into those.

Hey Pat,

I have a Gallien Krueger Backline 600 amp and a 4-10 cabinet that I might sell. I bought it new and barely used it. It may be more than you wanted to spend but if you want to consider it I'll come up with a price for it. I'm certain this amp would carry him a ways into the future. It's a nice setup.

I've got a little 15 watt line 6 I'm learning to play bass with. Sounds OK to me but I don't really know what good bass is supposed to sound like so.......Definately not loud enough to take the roof off. Pretty cheap too.
