looking for a good combo under $500

loud enough for rehearsals and small clubs, I really don't care about weight, just something versatile enough to cover jazz, metal, and blues gigs. Preferably something with 2 10"s.

Found a behringer on craigs list near me for $250, but I've heard so many complaints of blown speakers I'm not sure if that's the way to go. The price leaves plenty of room to replace them, but I'd rather something more reliable. Loved my G/K but it had an accident.

The Hartke Hydrive 5210c looks good, a little over budget, but generally offer a pretty versatile palette of tones and reliable. The other thing I keep hearing is the fender rumble 350.

Run to your local guitar center and pick up a TC electronics bg500 combo for $349. 2x10 or 15 at 500 watts and few features. I think the sale is about over. It was the big deal of the week.

Look for a used Fender Bassman 250. I had one for years, and was easily the best combo I ever used...
