I'll mostly be using it for recording direct, anyway, so an amp can wait a bit.
I have a Breedlove ABG and I like it quite a lot. No, it is not loud enough for backing up other players, but it is certainly loud enough to record with, which is my only purpose for it. I also have an electric Fender Precision Bass and although it's got its place, I rarely use it. I just enjoy the ABG more. I have mine strung with tape would strings and really like the tone.
