On your other thread, you mentioned you wanted to go head and cabinet seperate. That eliminates combos and narrows the field a bit. What would really help is your budget.

$500 max for a head

33 piece jazz band?

Your budget would help in giving suggestions.

Right now, I'm really digging the Genz ShuttleMax 12 with Bag End S15-D cabs.

Get a Fender Head. I know most favor others ( Ampeg,etc. )but a nice solid hybrid head is the TB1200 which I run through a Fender 215Pro cab. This blows your budget but ... Something worth keeping would cost more than $500 new ImO....You could also look at other cabs such as the Ampeg115.

there is no best brand. the best brand is the one you like the best.

Yeah, it really is just a matter of personal preference. Time to go out and play everything you find.
