Looking to Upgrade to my First Head and Cabinet

[Duce-hands]

Greetings All:

So I feel I'm ready to get my first bass amp head and cabinet, unfortunately I have no idea where to start (Sorry if this is a re-post, searched this forum but no results from a search). Can be used or new but I'm looking for value, I don't have a large sum to work with but prices seem to be all over the place. I looking for something that will give me a real r&b, hip hop, reggae tone. Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks in advance

"Large sum" is subjective. How much dinero do have to work with?

For the head I have about 300 and the same for the cabinet

As an option, I'd also be looking for nice used rig(head/cab) for around $600.

At that price you will probably get your best bet going used. Any decent amp would be good for r&b hip/hop etc with some tweaking. I suggest combing thru guitar center's used selection forum classifieds and craigslist. If you can find one - a used Acoustic b600/b810 could be about $600 and would do the trick.

Thanks for the information, I assumed used was going to be the best route but unsure what brand would provided the best sound with the greatest flexibility

I would go used with $600. If you do the right deal, you might be able to swing a GB Shuttle 6.0 and GK 212 Neo for what you have to work with.

Yep a used Genz Benz.Shuttle 6 or 3 with a 4 ohm cab-Avatar 2x12, 4x10, or GK similar. Some Hartke LH500 amps can probably be found at that $ too.
