Best head for my style?

[macbassplayer]

My band plays a very heavy style of rock similar to Killswitch Engage, Disturbed, Breaking Benjamin, etc. I have been using an Acoustic half stack for the past year, and I am starting to look for an upgrade. I want to make the jump to a tube head, and need some advice on bass heads for my style. Of course, the SVT line would be awesome, but I don't want to spend two grand. Any advice would be great, and thanks ahead.

Also, we play all of our original stuff in Drop C, and sometimes in B. So a low growl and tight high end is critical.

Personally, I think that for your style of music, you need something pretty HI-FI sounding. A head that will have fast response to your playing, and will be pretty even across all tonal ranges. An all tube head might be to pillowy for you. I would look into the used Mesa Boogie Carbine line. Also the Mesa Big Block 750. I used one of those on the warped tour last summer... Killer head.

I double that. Mesa seems to fit every description you're making. In fact, Mike D (bassist from Killswitch) actually plays a Mesa!

I would suggest nearly anything GK. I have a 1001 RB-II and a 412 neo and play similar type of music, and with my Spector it sounds spectacular.

Get an Ampeg SVT 3 Pro and a 410he or 410HLF depending on what would work better for you. You'll be able to get that killswitch tone then if you've got the right bass.

I have actually been looking at the M6 Carbine.

Used GBE 1200, end of problem.

pretty much any head will work as long as you're happy with it.
