Hey guys. I am looking for a new head soon, and I'm seeing what you experts think would work best for me. I don't really have a place around here to test out amps so I'd be ordering blind. I play alt rock, piano rock, contemporary christian, and some heavier driving rock. I'm looking for an amp that provides a clean tone, and something more like this:

I will soon be playing a Squier PJ bass with Nordstrand pickups, or I will keep my trusty Spector Classic. I have two TL606 15" cabinets I love and adore as well. Thanks for the help guys!

you can get that out of pretty much any amp. fairly typical modern bass clean sound.

You should be able to get that straight up using your spector or solo'd P pup in the squire. As for an amp, like said above pretty much anything will get you close, I know I can get a sound like that pretty easy with my ampeg.

I got pretty much that sound after changing to those Dean Markley Blue Steel strings, they were expensive, but sound AWESOME. And my bass is cheap as well. Bright, and cut through the mix really well. Guitarist (and best friend too...) commented on how good my tone was.
