I use to use an old Fender Squire Tube Amp. OMG! It wasn't much, but had a very cool sound to it. It had been dropped once too many times, something just made it sound cool! LOL

I use a Marshall JCM 900 half stack on stage.I have a 20 dollar omnisourse inline power attenuater in the effcts loop so I can crank up the volume to ge the desired sound then turn the attenuater down to get the desired volume.For home practice I use a behringer vamp twin.

I was talking to my instructor about bass amps, and he said that the surface area of the speaker is actually more important than the watts, to a degree. Is he true about this? He's been a bass instructor and musician for awhile (he's in his 30s I think) but I am still wondering what you guys think.

Its a combination of the two...

Different surface areas on the speaker will give a different sound..
Really wattage doesnt matter either once you are using a nice tube amp. 30 watts is generally enough and can be miced up and sound nice through almost any system.
