I'm only 15 (16 in a month or two) so I don't have an abundance of money (thus why I only have a Squier P-bass) so I was hoping for an amp under £250, although I don't have much of an idea about the price ranges of different wattages.

100 watts is enough.


How portable are 100 watt amps? I'm not what people would call a 'hench' guy, it would be a bit unfortunate to buy one and then find that I'd require help lifting it up

You're not going to get an amplifier that's easily portable by one person unless its a small amp. If its a small amp, it won't be loud enough. Its that simple. You're going to need two people if you want to move it further than "Around the same building", (IE, up one flight of stairs and across the floor of that building will be just about doable) especially if there are stairs involved. You don't need to be huge, but regardless of what you buy, forget about it being easy to move on your own.

I think they have one of the same bass as mine (P-bass) hanging on the wall in my local music shop, but thanks for the reminder!

Bring yours anyway. Different instruments sound different even when they're built the same way.

Would save me buying numerous pedals I guess!!
