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.

Thank you, Flava Dave

Reeves makes a tube bass head. Yes it is heavy. But it is amazing. It is based on the old Hiwatt DR201. I think it runs around 2200.

The "new" Hiwatt also makes a reissue head, but they are dodgy on specs, not posted on the web site. Don't know the price.
