K. Well my budget is $350. My plan is pretty much to buy an Orange crush 35watt bass amp (~$200-$250), and then with the $150-$100 left over buy either a fuzz, or multi-effects (including a fuzz effect, of course) pedal.

I'd like opinions on the amp, whether it's worth getting for a first bass amp (Been playing a whole year and I couldn't afford an amp until now. crying I was using a crappy guitar one at first.), and whether it's worth the cost, or if there's a better amp for the same price range for a rock/stoner rock/doom metal/stoner metal/etc. player.

I'd also like suggestions for pedals within my price range to buy.

Thanks in advance. heart

i think you should use all the money for an amp, worry about effect pedals later, a 35 watt p***y amp aint gona do you any good in the future. and trust me there are some amps for $350, so dont let anyone tell you differenyly.

Ditto...And stay away from Crate bass amps...I got one and it works. But its the lowest level of acceptance. I would stay away from them.

I stuck with my choice for that Orange because I only need a practice amp at the moment. I'm still debating what to spend the leftover $100 on.

ninja Ok, I bought both things I originally planned on getting (Orange 35b and Russian Big Muff), and now have $45 left. What to get, what to get?

id buy a Carvin PB100. you dont need effects. bass effects are fun but id use all of the money for and amplifyer and a Carvin amp is the best way to go because they use tuned cabinets.
