Since I had to start from ground zero to build a rig, I was looking for the most cost effective nice rig I could get.
I ended up with:
A used Cort Artisan B5. I'm not a Cort fan but this bass has smooth action, good balance and sounds nice enough that I'm not feeling the need to upgrade right away. Will make a great backup when I do find "the one".
Used GK 400RB MarkIV, I like this a lot. I have not had any trouble getting a few different tone's that make me smile. It may be a little on the the small side for power but I am only running at 8 Ohms right now. I think this will also make a fantastic backup.
New GK Neo 410. This is where I decided to spend the bulk of the cash. It seems to be a great match with the head and it has a ton of low end on tap.
My delemma. Where do I start to upgrade? I would like to step up in power. I am thinking a 700RB as I like the GK tone.
I would also like to add another cab. I wanted a small footprint 2x10 that I could use in combination or as a stand alone for a cramped stage. Running them combined for bigger shows I would get full power from the amp at 4 Ohms and the additional air moved from the extra 2x10.
Here's the rub, it looks like a lot of you do not like to mix and match the cabs, standing waves, phase problems ect. What would you do? Stay with another Neo 410? If not what smaller cab would you recommend I look at?
I will add the other piece as I save up the cash but which would you get first the head or the cab????
Specs
The 400RB at 4 Ohms = 280 Watts with the Neo 410 + ? cab
or
700RB at 8 Ohms = 320 Watts with the 4x10
Sorry about making a short story long but thanks in advance for any advice.
