I'd say first thing, fill out your profile so we have an idea of where you are located.
Someone in Chicago IL would have options someone in Casper WY might not.

lol laughed out loud with that one best post of the day. I love the sound of those Ampeg combos man they sound nice.
Hey. If you like the TKO sound. Try and find an old used Peavey Bass head and a nice used cabinet. There was a Bass head Mk III ( 210 watts into 8 ohms, 300 into 2 ) with a 115 black widow for 250 locally on CL here.
I still like the tone. It's just too heavy for me. I got a very similar from a TC electronics BG250 115 combo. It runs $400 new. I say try out different used gear. You will save a ton. Just make sure you try it out and push it a bit.

I'd save another $400, assuming you are in the US. If you get a $400 amp now, you will end up spending the $800 to replace it, and will have had to suffer longer. 
I would avoid a combo. They are all but impossible to upgrade economically. All IMHO, YMMV, LOL, RTFM, AARP, ETC.

Made the move on a new hartke hl500 and a used hartke 410 cab. $500 out the door. Sounds great. Thanks for all the input. Very helpful bunch, you talkbass folks.
