Greetings guys - I am Boomer 777 and am new to site. Am just re-aclamating myself to the bass world. Am trying to catch up on all the latest and greatest re: bass gear and this venue seems to be chock full of very informed posters. Have been following the B-2000 thread and am really curious. If I may posit my query and get some respones/ideas would be much obliged.

Firstly, I am an old-timer, 55 yrs old and have not purchased any amplification for about 13 years. The last rig I put together was a GK 400RB, 12 band EQ, and driving an original Guild-Hartke 4-10 cabinet. My primary bass is a Peavey TL-5 (active) and a Standard Fender Jazz bass (vintage 1998). My playing is modeled after: Jamerson, Prestia, Dee Murray (Elton John)....and the wonderdul 5 string sound that one hears on present day Gospel albums.

Here is my dilemma: Am looking for thermo-pulse that use to knock me in the chest when walking into a club long ago (primarily from the SVT). I am not a slapper, I do not like clanky, twangy, residue. A Punchy, tight, and booming sound is what I am after. Having said that: I NEED A SET-UP WHERE MY B-STRING DOES NOT CRAP OUT AT ANY LEVEL.
Was intrigued and am waiting to try the GK Fusion 550, 1050 and the Carvin B2000.

Can someone offer some counsel as to what I might try with respect to amp and cabinet?

Thanks for your time and attention

Warm Regards
