Which head should i get?

Sign in to disble this ad
So I'm looking for a bass head. My price range is 250 to 300. And so I've come across either the gk mb200 or the acoustic 200 whatever. I'm not looking for floor shaking power just something so I can jam with my bro. Since I sold my other a head about two months ago and 30 watts ain't working to good. So yeah if anybody has any other suggestions please let me know.

Thanks
Alex

The only thing is its goin to look silly on top of a fender wedge and purple diy cab even though they can't be running at the same time. Ill probably end up selling the fender cab and get a gk 210 or something. And use the other cab I made for a guitar. I don't know thanks anyway guys and sorry for the early bump I just wanted some input.

For $250 you could do better used.

If you HAVE to buy new (as in, you are using a credit card), I'd get the GK or consider this:

I"d never buy Acoustic. Personal preference.
