The first two options are separate head/cabinets and of course the last two are combo amps.
Instead of two polls, first select against A vs B then C vs D.
After placing a vote, post whatevertheheck you feel like especially, "Instead of those (get a/ do this/ look for) XYZ!"


For GK Goldline 4x10 cabinet with a GK Backline 600 amphead

Select "A"

For Acoustic B410 4x10 cabinet with an Acoustic B200 amphead

Select "B"

AND/OR

The GK 2x10 Backline Combo

Select "C"

The Behringer Ultrabass 4x10 Combo

Select "D"


Thank you for wasting your time!

He's just trying to help, there's no point in limiting yourself. What kinda music are you playing anyway? That'd help a bit too rather then this turning into a "I like this more then that so you should buy this" thread.

I understand, but the point is these are the only options and I want to know what people would choose if forced into a box... so to speak.

I think I should have expanded my post, because I'm not looking to see which of these to buy so it doesn't matter the music I play either.

I'm gonna agree with everything above, "other" gets my vote, but if you insist on these 4 choices, then the Backline head paired with another 410 like an Avatar. Choice D is right out. Choice C should be too.

Choice "C" was the one option I expected to get more votes. Color me suprised!

I not sure to think of the "D" option as I've never had experience with Behringer. But needed to throw something that was a cheap combo.

"A" is the best option IMO

The Backline 600 head is inexpensive, it's not what I would consider "cheap" because of how useful it is. There is nothing wrong with the goldline cabs, except that they are RIDICULOUSLY heavy. The tone of them is quite satisfactory to me in a variety of configurations, but if they weren't so heavy I wouldn't be selling them. If you can handle the weight, I'd go for choice "A", hands down =)
