Lowering my expectations has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.
No more than £100 used. It’s a remarkably good sounding thing even if a bit heavy by today’s standards. It has about 6 bass amp sounds of the classic bass amps, a compressor, and a couple of other effects. And a line in for iPod use.
Even though I’ve got a stupid money Barefaced / Ashdown / Markbass rig I will never sell my little Roland. It’s brilliant.

Also, I heartily reccomend treating yourself to a decent bass DI pedal. You can plug it into pretty much anything, PA, guitar amp, keyboard amp, small practice combo, interface for recording and for adding flavour and growl as a pedal in front of a full on bass rig. These days I have a Gallien-Krueger/Bareface rig, but tomorrow I'll be playing on an outdoor festival stage with my trusty Sansamp Bass Driver DI straight into the PA.

The only reason I didn't buy the 25 is because it's almost exactly the same size and only 1Kg lighter than my - admittedly far more expensive, and fitted with a neodymium speaker which brought the weight down a lot - Ibanez Promethean 5110, which is 500W and a really sophisticated amp. (But still doesn't have an overdrive setting!)

I'm playing bass in a rock & soul band but don't have an amp.
The Bassrig is my #1 preamp for live - that's happy going into a house amp or just DI-ed (or preferably both!). At home I usually plug that or an HX Stomp into a Yamaha THRii. For recording I'll go straight into Helix Native. If I need to do some practice outside the studio or my own house I'll either take laptop and headphones or the THR and run it off the onboard battery.
Between all of that I haven't even considered a "proper" bass amp
Works really well.
But Boss Bass Cube, Fender Rumble, etc out there too. Seems a waste of a good bass to play it through a boxy guitar amp, you also need the bass amp headroom for clean transient handing for any popping and slapping which distort a guitar amp.
At home I use a DI box into the home studio desk and monitors most of the time although I have my gigging rig there too. Nice pure sound.
I’ve used an AER and a Fishman in the past and they worked well.. wouldn’t want to push the speakers with a loud drummer.
