A confession about my amp, and a plea for recommendations

Yep, what is to be embarrassed about? You’re not touring, not even gigging, you’re just practicing… No problem at all using what you have if it’s working ok. In my music room I mostly use a DAI into my PC and home stereo amp which does nothing but amplify my bass through a set of studio monitors (no real amp to speak of). It works fine. When I have to look after the kids downstairs (you’ll love this)… I plug into a Peavey Rage 15 watt GUITAR practice amp. Again, nothing wrong with it… I’m just practicing. For practice the most important function of your amp is to increase the sound of your bass to a level where you can hear yourself…that’s it’s primary function. As long as you can hear when you buzz or hit a bum note or drop out of time and you can correct it because you heard it then JOB DONE. I don’t want to hear this “embarrassment” nonsense! You might give my poor little Peavey a complex!!
