Nil Satis Nisi Optimum
Because my budget is so low (£100) and I wouldn't have space for a combo (without selling a guitar amp first) I'm probably best off waiting to see if gigs on bass become more of a regular thing, but I know what to look for now when I'm ready to do so.
Korg Ampworks AX10B into a Behringer G100 DI box, then send the XLR feed to the PA Desk and the line out to a Laney A1+ 75w vocal/acoustic amp/monitor thingy so I can hear myself on stage.
Not ideal but it should work

A particularly good one if you can lift it is the BLX - which came in 80W and 130W (and possibly 150W, I can't remember) models - they're cheap because they weigh an astonishing amount for their size. The achieve very good volume and non-directional sound projection by using a clever acoustic cabinet design, but which involves rather a lot of internal baffling, all made from heavy MDF.

That one even has the very rare tuning port covers as well, almost all of which ended up as ashtrays in rehearsal rooms I think!

Would be a good rehearsal room amp I reckon, or might suit the OP perfectly..
At rehearsals, I used an old Laney Linebacker combo up until recently. Can't have been more than 100w. I've had that amp over a decade and the worst that's happened is crackly pots. Used to belong to a dude that did not care for his gear one bit. It was pushing the limits but it held it's own against 3 guitars and a keyboard, twice a week for about a year until I got something bigger so something like that sounds ideal. They're cheap as chips if you can find one.
Otherwise, Rumbles are great. I had a 500w head and I almost regret selling it to buy a Portaflex. Played a 500w combo at a gig and it was brown town. A beast of a combo.
