Bass Amp Buying Help!!! Salsa Band?

I need some help choosing a bass amp for a new bass guitar. It wont be used with a rock band, but instead salsa, trumpets and latin percussion. Most guides i've read recommend 300 watts if you have a drummer, but timbales n congas are not as loud as a full drum kit. Will my bass be ok with 60 watts of power?? Will it need more?? looking for good value, that does its job, at good price. i dont want to buy something that isnt good enough and have to spend more later.

Hi

I use an Ashdown with a 400 watt Peavy Amp. Now, the Ashdown ABM C210T-500 Bass Combo Amp, 2 10" speakers is an awesome amp and if you can get one second-hand, you will be well served.

Hereis alink one-bay for a second hand but maybe, just maybe, you might have a chance to bid on it.

Don't be afraid to buy online because your money is guaranteed when you pay with paypal or with a credit card.

Either of these amp will give you a good punchy bass sound which is what salsa is about. You will definitely groove with either of these amp.
Am I correct ? LOL

I own 6 different amp , peavy, ROland, Gallen, Ashdown, Ampeg and Mesaboogie.

GET THIS FENDER AMP DUDE.... FOR $200, it is worth it and you will get a super clean sound and lots and lots of punching power.

Bid on this one...take my word...

How much do guitar lessons run for nowadays? For a beginner?

Shawn here, Blink-182 fan since the 20th Century. I wanted to know how much guitar lessons cost? I am a beginner and im just looking for some middle of the road lessons that could get me going to becoming a good guitar player. I do play the electric, and would like to play mainly alternative, pop punk, and punk rock.
What good lessons are there? Should i get them online? how much do they cost?

They cost about $20 an hour here on the West Coast.

I really suggest looking at Guitar Tabs and then looking on youtube for covers made my other guitarists. It's your best bet and it's boatloads cheaper.

Does anyone know some easy tabs for acoustic guitar?

www.chordie.com, Almost any song you want.
