Which Amp?

[BassasonicMuthaplucka]

I have around $300. I am willing to go a little over.
I want 100+ watt, as I am playing along with two Fender twin reverbs and and a 120 watt Yamaha.
Choose wisely:

Ashdown Electric Blue 12-180 (180 Watt, $319)
Behringer BX1220 Ultrabass (120 Watt, $200)
Fender Rumble 100 (100 Watt, $299)
SWR Workingman 12 (100 Watt, $299)
SWR LA15 Combo (100 Watt, $299)

Well really the rule (I believe) is to have 3 times as much power as the guitarist, so 300W+ would be better.

Excuse me if I'm wrong

[BassasonicMuthaplucka]

I realize this, but I lack the money to go 300+

Also we have a huge PA system.

Also, I thought it was 2x guitar. I could be wrong.

[the101er]

Meh, it's probably me.

You could go D.I. too. I didn't know you had the PA.

I would definately go with the ashdown, i just got my 15" 180 today, and its awesome

Btw, you can get it for $299 w/ free shipping with musicians friend. Amazon.com has it for 299 through 8th street music (almost certaintly a typo) and i did the price match thing with musicians friend, and they approved it.

I'd recommend buying a decent preamp and DI'ing into the PA system. You can always add a power amp and cab later, too.

I'd go for the Tech 21 NYC Sansamp RBI, or any GK/Ampeg/Avalon/BBE.

SWR's suck....get an Ampeg.

[trumpeter]

Out of your list...Ashdown is the best.

[Sade]

SWR's suck....get an Ampeg.

That is an incredibly ignorant statement. Ampeg and SWR are nothing at all alike, in any-way.

[Muggsy]

I've played the Ashdown and the Fender Personally I reaally like the ashdown (my friend has one).

[BassasonicMuthaplucka]

I got on a great deal on the SWR Workingman 12.

I am pleased.
