I've been playing bass on and off now for about 20 years. I have a couple of combo amps (SWR LA-08, SWR Workingman 10) that I have had since day 1 and an SWR Headlite (400 watts @ 4ohm) amp that I picked up used in 2015.
My original plan for the amp was to pair it with a Golight 4x10 cab but life went in an unexpected route suddenly and my bass gear went into storage for a while right after I purchased the amp.
I recently was laid off and have dusted my bass gear off now that I have spare time. I would like to pick up a cheap cabinet to pair with the Headlite, but Im not sure what all is out there these days.
My budget is about $300-$350 just for something for me to play on myself and occasionally with a drummer. I was looking at some Hartke units and they are intriguing but I don't know much about them. It looks like I can easily get some older SWR cabs in my price range but are they better than a newer Hartke?
Can anyone help with some recommendations for a broke bassist? thanks!
