Time for a new amp

I need a new head to go with my new cabinet, I just ordered a Epifani PS410 cabinet, and these are the heads I am considering. GK MB Fusion 500 tube Hybrid, Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0, or a lil Mark III 500. Any suggestions? I play Smooth Jazz, and R&B/Funk

One suggestion, play the amps through your cab, and decide based on what it sounds like, to your ears. Otherwise, it just becomes a popularity contest, and a "this is what I use" sort of thing. Useless really. What matters, all that matters, is how it sounds to you. 2 people playing the same bass through the same rig will both sound different.

I agree with you, but my problem is I have to order them order on line, because there isn't any place to try them where i live.
