I was back at my local thrift store and came across a Peavey Microbass. I bought it for $50.00, which I found out is a fair deal.
It plays great with my ovation, but I hooked up both mic and guitar with a splitter and it doesn't give me the volume I need. If I turn it up, I get feedback.
If I ever get a gig at a coffee house or something, do I need an additional little amp, or do I need a mixing board.
Kind of on the subject, do any of you guys play in small venues, and if so, what equipment do you need? Thanks.

What are the specs/model number on this? . . .

I've got a small Peavey bass amp (75W with a 15"-er, 2-inputs, EQ, "bright" switch, and a headphone jack). Bought it from my old bass player for $100. I use it in my MusicRoom as my only other amp is my P.A.

Wondering if we're talking 'bout the same animal . . .

Not a bad lil' amp.
(weighs a friggin' TON tho . . .)

The Micro-Bass is much smaller and with less power, but it is a good little unit for the money.

As to the original question, there are some good acoustic guitar amps out there that also have an XLR input for a mic. The preamp stages are designed for such an application, plus they are build with a lot more power and headroom. I think the Micro-Bass is out of its element being used for both a guitar and mic.

I guess I'll keep my eyes open at the thrift store for more gear for this poor boy.
Thanks!

I think we all do! Our 'thrift stores' simply have different names and locations.
