Hey guys.
First, I know very little about amps. I'm just wondering.
I'm looking for a new amp, and I've decided I would like an Ampeg Cab, and a Markbass Tube Head.

The head is this one, the [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

I'm torn between cabs though.
I'd like either

1) Ampeg 610GLF.

2) Or the BXT-410HL4 paired with the BXT-115HL4.

I'm just not sure which cabs could handle the power, or which would clip, etc etc.
So, any pros and cons would help!

Thanks!

EDIT: During the school year, I play jazz (Sept - April) and during the summer, It's usually rock.
 
I'd go the 410 & 1x15 cabs- for versatility..... smaller gigs U can just take a 410 or a single 15" cab big uns = both cabs!!
If UR gonna get a 610 get the Bergantino NV610-or NV425 for a bit of difference! IMHO ;-)
Just remember the Mark Bass amp U say is a Solid state amp with a tube compressor. Tube amps are really ALL tube- power amp & pre amp- Hybrid amps are S.S. power & tube pre amp. again Just IME/IMHO

I don't know what a Tube Compressor is :) haha

I do love the Markbass and Bergantino combo.
