What type of amp do I need (gift) for a person who just started trying to play electric bass guitar.?

He is left handed (dont think that matters) and I will also be getting him a guitar instruction book (he got the guitar for his bday last month). I want to get him a very simple and basic amp for now, and will prob. go to Guitar Source or Guitar Center. I need to keep the price to a minimum….a couple of suggestions would be great!

Here’s a couple of suggestions with 5 star customer reviews.

Peavey MAX 126 Bass Practice Combo – 10w output $79

Peavey MAX 158 Bass Practice Combo – 15w output $99

If you don’t like the look of those, here are the alternatives up to $100.

If you can afford the 15w amp, that would be a little more versatile, but 10w will be fine for just bedroom practice.

Good luck.
