What cab would you pair with this head? At 4 ohms it can put out 200 watts.
I'm looking for something that will last me a while, will be good for playing shows in a trio in small to medium venues.
My budget is about $400... I have no problem buying used and in fact, I would prefer to buy used.
My 400rb is the 80s model with the power cord attached.
I've been a user of combo amps for almost 10 years, so I'm not too knowledgeable about amps/cabs and cab efficiency and all that. I've read the sticky but most of it still sort of goes over my head.
I picked up this 400rb because I liked all the GK products I've tried and I got it for very cheap on ebay.
edit: I've heard good things about pairing the 400rb with a Hartke XL 4x10... but this cab seems to be 8 ohms. I found one for cheap on craigslist and I'd be willing to buy it before I try it since it's so cheap. What're your thoughts? How much does it really matter whether the cab is 4 ohms or 8 ohms? Please bear with my n00b-ness

) but there maybe some occasions when you'll wish you had a bit more going on. As to buying used, TB is probably the biggest used amp mkt place in the world! If you don't see what you are looking for, wait a bit and it will show up. $400 will most likely get you there or pretty close, but you may need to spend a tad more. There's no need to spend crazy money, but remember it is a tool you are using for work, even if it is occasionally. Further, it is tool that defines not only your sound, but a foundation for your trio. Do a search for 4ohm in the amp forum as well as amps for sale. It may give you a few options. Check with some companies for close outs as well. Carvin is selling a new 4x10 (4ohm) for $349. I have no experience with this cab, but just pointing out there are several options out there.
