Bass / Amp Plans - help?

Hello everyone, I am new to the forums and have been playing bass and guitar for 2 years now. I'm thinking to get serious about bass and start playing with a band so I am looking for some equipment to meet my needs.

Hartke is basically what im almost positive i am going to be getting ampwise. I'm either going to get the hx810 and hartke kilo. or IF ITS POSSIBLE, i was going to stack a vx410 and 410xl with the kilo ontop. I was just wondering if that can even be done (haha?) and if i should be concerned that the kilo puts out 1000watts whereas the two cabs can only handle 400 watts each.

For the bass guitar I plan on getting, it's either a Stingray 5 or a rickenbacker 4003. I'm looking for a versatile bass to go with my amp and i've heard these are what I need, im open for suggestions though.

Any Help Anyone?
