expanding rig- advice appreciated (especially from hartke users)

[Changles]

okay so at the moment my rig is as simple as you can get


fender jag bass > octave pedal > hartke ha3500 head > hartke vx4x10


I want to expand, maybe get a pre amp, fuzz pedal, overdrive, but the first thing i want is another cab, i'm pretty sure i want a hartke - i have a bit of a soft spot for them, but not sure which hartke cab to get.

1x15 or 4x10 or other?

vx, xl, hydrive?

any example of good hartke rigs that have worked for you would be good, in fact any sage advice would be great ta

I am always looking for a nice fat tone but with all the clarity possible (i do a lot of melodic runs, and want every note to be crystal clear)

With what you want, I'd get another 410 just like yours.

i would have thought however that the aluminium cones of the xl cabs provide more definition and clarity?

Used to use hartke about 15 years ago. I am not to familiar with the vx and hydrive. But i did have 2 4.5XL's cranked by an hartke 7000. It was overkill, but I was young. 4 10's move more air than 1 15.
