Go to a music store and try the instruments out. Buy the one that fits you. It’s going to be a relationship. See what local pawn shops want for small bass amps. You’d be really lucky to find a good tube amp for $ 100.
you could probablu get a nice peavey bass,hard case, and peavey practice amp for under 150 on craigslist..
