Hey Gaz, you never said - I know it's only been a few days, but how are you finding the change? Easier or harder than you expected? Let us know......

Well, for now I'd say anything over 100 (watts) will do you fine; but maybe you'd like to invest your money in something better which you'll use later?
Oh, and check out how powerful your bandmates amps are too. It's usualy better to have the bass amp more powerful than the guitar amps.

It's always better, if you want to be audible. I'd say 100-120 watts would be good for small to mediem gigs. Usually doubling the wattage a guitar amp would need is a good way to figure out what you'll need.
thanx for all the replies guys means a lot and helping a lot too
