Amp Noob Here, Need Suggestions

[Bass-Adrenaline]

Well im looking into finally buying a decent amp and cab setup but as of now im more focused on the amp. Below are a few of my options and i was wondering what the general concensus is on each of them or which you suggest. Also, this will be used mostly for personal use and what not and size is a concern. Good sound is more important to me than output and what not as well. Thanks

I have the G-K MB212 Combo which has the same amp as the MB 500 (no tubes). I think the amp is great. Unless you are a die-hard fan of the "tube sound", I cant see spending $300 more for the tube preamp version.

Note that this amp (with or without tubes), puts out 350 watts into an 8 ohm cab. To get the full 500 watts, you have to use a 4 ohm cab or use two 8 ohm cabs.

Well my brother I got good news!!!!!!!! I am the pickiest tweekiest person I know.
THE!! best bass rig is from the IP series at Bergantino I have the 12" these are the powered versions (there is one other one that has a 3 10")
you need a kiler pre amp and compressor.
pre amp ------ "Juggernaut 500"
compressor ---- Purple "Action"Comp 500
and a APA Revolver Rack to hold them in
both at atlasproaudio.com
the 12" amp and speaker is $2,000
and the pre and comp is $2,000
well you my think this is to much? think again there is no and i mean no bass amp rig that has REAL electronics. That are class A and discrete. no power amp (except Bergintino) that will have the dampening factor that will give real a response.
I work with top end studio gear and am spoiled with top sound quality. you can not get a better sound....period
