First 'real' amp.

Hey TB, i need some advice.

I've been playing bass for around 3.5 years, and have never had a decent amp. My current amp fast on every single note, and has gone to ****. i bought it used. I play slap and fingerstyle, and i aspire to the tone of Flea, marcus miller, or Victor Wooten.

Anywho, i have been working a bit lately, as i am a student, and it was my birthday a few days ago. i now have saved 1025$.

What is a good head/cab suggestion? Brands? models?
I would prefer new, but used is fine.

I was leaning toward the Ashdown MAG300H and MAG 410T for 1049$ at the bass centre, australia. I am also interested in getting the Hartke HA2500 head and the GK BLX 410?

Can TBers share their wisdom with me?

Much appreciated. =)
