    That was me. I don't know that brand, so I can't comment. I would hit your local guitar shops & pawn shops and try them out. Bass should be fine on just about any KB amp, but some could really suck w/ a guitar. It's very much a space/budget solution, but you can keep it for your bass when you add in the marshall tube amp for your guitar :) .

    Oh, this probably won't happen, but don't buy a KB amp with a rotating horn. That would be REALLY funky with guitar.

    Dragon, I am a BIG fan of Musician's Friend. I did a search for Bass Amps there, and this was the result that I got there. I would suggest going that route and get an amp that is designed for a Bass guitar solely...and probably a combo amp would be your best bet. I would do the same thing for your guitar. I am a fan of Marshall over all other brands, but that's merely personal opinion. Much like your audio equipment at home you need to go out and audition this equipment to find out if it's right for you or not.

    This is all of my crap, but my bass amp isn't pictured:

    I'm suprised that you could even see that! That's a great album, which I learned about from you on this forum.

    Now that I'm home and I finally have internet access here, I'll have to take a picture of my Ibanez and of my Washburn and post them. I don't have too much money invested, since I don't play that much, but I'm hoping to pick up a new Taylor and get back into it all over again. My current setup is:

    Ibanez Talman TC-740
    Washburn D350 Acoustic
    Fender Deluxe 112 amp.
    Dunlop Crybaby 535Q

    I've also got an old Fender Squier Strat that I mentioned previously as well as a tweed covered Fender Bronco, which together made up my first electric guitar and amp.

    I'm thinking about buying some software like Cakewalk or something similar since I've got a new computer. It would be cool to be able to record some of the songs that I've written over the years.

    Pfft! Report back in a couple of years. :p

    If I ever get a 2CH setup that comes close to half of what I have invested in rare/vintage instruments, I'll be in one of those photo galleries we all love to hate (but drool over.)

    Hmmm....maybe you're right :)

    My new addition......a Rickenbacker 650D.

    Very Nice. What kind of music to you play (or want to play)? I have a Fender Hot Rod myself and it is fantastic. It doesn't go just to 11, but to 12, so it's really loud! I'm also in the market for a Taylor. My cousin has a 310, and it is the niceist acoustic I have ever played (his father-in-law has a 56 Martin, that sounds just a little nicer, but doesn't play nearly as well). Good luck with the playing (and try to keep it up. I don't pick it up nearly as much as I should).

    Here's some shots of a few in my collection. (a Mexican Strat, an Epi Sheridon II [I highly recomend this one for the price], a Washburn accoustic [my 1st guitar from 86] & something I made).
    Denon AVR-3803
    RTi-70 Fronts
    FXi-30 Surrounds
    RTi-38 Back Surrounds
    Csi-40 Center
    PSW350 Sub
    Panasonic PT-56WXF95 HDTVSamsung un60JS8000 SUHD
    Denon DVD-2910
