Thanks B!
YO CHEF! Awesome photos! Is that a scratch on this bass? Do you have a story to go with it?

Yep - we have those at our house too. Your basses are way too nice to have such a blatant scratch!

Just picked up an '81 Ash/Rosewood L1000. Never been a huge fan of the G&L aesthetic or natural ash bodies aesthetic, but there was something about this one that grabbed me. It sounds great and seems to be fairly lightweight! Will post some pics later.
just tracked my SB-1 this morning , direct into a Demeter Dual mic pre to Cubase

Again, that is fantastic. You've got me really contemplating one of those in an L2000.[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
On the way over the pond as we speak!
The fretboard looks darker in the picture, its much browner in person.
Some nice flame on the neck

I would be very greatful for anyones thoughts, opinions, suggestions, etc as i look for a good bass amp or rig. I am fairly new to the Bass world and stumbled across an L2000 (USA) that I had to have, even if I do not yet deserve it skill-wise. I had been learning on a cheapo Epiphone EB-0 and a Fender Rumble 75w amp. I can't put this (L2000) thing down and want to upgrade my amp set up.
I am still exploring music styles so I need something with a good range of sound. Everything from emulating jazz double bass, to rock, punk, rockabilly, blues, not quite there yet with the slap and funk sound, but who knows? I don't need anything ultra-portable at this point as the closest I will be to gigging is joining friends or casual jam sessions. At the same time, I don't need a monster stack that will shake the plaster off my walls.
So far, I keep hearing pretty good things about Ampeg, Hartke and G-K. Open to other ideas, of course. I am thinking of cabinets with 2x10's, 2x12's or 4x10s., Or??? I am leaning towards sep. Head-cab set ups for flexibility and possible upgrades down the road.
Besides recommendations, I'd appreciate thoughts on Tubes vs. SS.
pro's? Cons? Tube preamp-SS power amps? Are amps typically fine-tuned to match their brand of cabinets? Or is it okay to mix and match? Are certain brands known for reliability?
As you can see I have a lot of questions and there are so many options out there. And it is almost impossible to do a decent A-B comparison anywhere. The bigger stores have the most aggressive sales people and so many distractions, and the smaller stores have smaller selections.
Thanks in advance for your comments!

Joe:
What amp works best is a really vague question. Depends on what you like.
Modern sound? Old school sound?
Cabs with horns for treble response?
Sealed cabs with speakers only for vintage tone?
Not enough info for me to speak to that.
