re: Entry-level bass gigging amplifier recommendations.

If you are gigging, need at least 500 watts and multiple speakers. 1 15 May get you there, but at your price point, you’d probably get a boom machine. The Rumble 210 combo is a decent option. I don’t personally care for the sound of those, but that’s personal preference.

Will you have FOH support? If so, you might get by with a 350 watt head and single speaker cab. You’ll get a bigger rig going used.
