I use a 300 watt all valve bass amp for home practice

It's appropriate because I'm well endowed and people gravitate to my playing.

I had the 100w 2x12 for a while, was pretty decent. Found it a little on the sterile side and I never used half the stuff that was built into it, but good bang for your $$.

Depends what you're practicing.
Guitar = yes
Juggling = No

It's the first time it's been in a room where more than half watt mode was needed, it definitely wasn't sterile. To be honest I don't use much of what's in it due to the lack of on the fly adjustability, but paired with an M13 it works well.

I've been doing all my playing thru the THR-10X lately, I'd recommend one if you're not gonna gig Daza, altho' I have a Katana 50W as well and would never sell it...

Katana 100 1x12 is what I use.

I also have a Tweed Deluxe clone - all valve runs about 15 watts.
It's loud but the tones are lovely with single coil gats....I own no humbucker gats....so not sure how they fare.

What about the gauge of strings? That's an important one. Are you going to Vaughan or May? :roll:
