If money were no issue. If you had any materials, components, designers, gurus available. just for you, not "the market". would you start with a brand new amp design? would it be a head and cab(s) or a combo? dream on.
 
I would have GK craft a ~350 watt, 2 ohm capable all tube head for me, in the style of the old 800RB. I would run 2 of those heads, in stereo, and each head would power 2 GK 412 Neo's. This head, tentatively called the GK 350TB, would also have a seperate power section for the very highs (again, like the biamping for the 800RB) that would privately power two GK 410Neos (stacked like a fridge).

Set up would look like:


|350TB| |350TB|

I keep hearing about fEARfuls but I'm out of the loop... where do i go educate myself about em :hiding:

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] is a good starting point. Searching this forum with keyword "fearful" will probably come up with some good information. The intention is to have a studio monitor-like bass cabinet.
 
Big stack of fEARful 15/6s, and a big all-tube power amp for each one (SVT300 maybe?). An all-tube preamp for my Fender fretless, and two all-tube preamps for the two pickups of my Rick.

And a really big place to play! :bassist:
 
I would have 2 Fender Pro 810 cabs (one for each side of the stage) driven by 2 Genz Benz Shuttlemax 1200w heads, and last, but certainly not least, a brand new black peavey T-40 made by Chuck Todd. And a Fender Bassman TV Duo Ten amp for the studio.
