Hey everyone I have made the decision to take my tax rebate in July
and buy a new bass rig. I want to keep it in the $2000 range. I've
been leaning towards one of three heads but am open to suggestions.
THe 3 I have been leaning towards are Gallien Krueger's 1001 RB, Ampeg
SVT Pro3 or Pro 4, or Mesa Boogie's 750. I also am thinking about
going with all 10" bottoms, but am not sure. Right now I run a 4x10
and a 1x15. Anyway I really could use some bass educated opinions so
please reply to this post one and all.

I like you plan. I'm a long time supoprt of ther 1001RB's power,
punch and bang for the buck. Mesa's are overpriced in my
opinion. And SVT is great but it will sound very different than the
1001RB (mellower, and less punchy primarily).

10's or 12's on teh bottom are a good call. The roundness of a single
15 mixes with a 2x10 is my rig and I like it much. 4x10's are nice
but goddamn heavy and that'll get old in a hurry.

Happy shopping.
