half-stacks?

If you're defining half-stack as a head and 410/215 cab, it's gonna be pretty tight at $600...unless you buy used.
Look at used Peavey or Carvin heads, and perhaps a used Avatar 410. You'd end up with nicer (IMO) gear for about the same dough as the Behringer head/cab.

Agreed. Get something used. There are great deals to be had on the used market much better than Behringer.
buy Behringer, these guys dont understand that not everyone has an income
and they sound fine, i have a full behringer stack, and it'l knock you into next week.

Go used. Peavey cab and a Peavey or GK head.
The Behringer head isn't bad, decent tone but not a loud 450W. I'd stay away from the BA410. I cracked a cone in my BX4210A after 5-6 months.

Bass lines like a big, funky giant
I would also suggest taking a look at Avatar if you're on a tight budget for a solid budget cab. I would avoid behringer as well.
check out guitar center's used page....you can get an ampeg amp and cabinet for close to $600 on there....
If you can go used you can go pretty big without breaking the bank.
I'm rolling with an Avatar B410 and an Acoustic B-3 (320W head) and the total cost was...$300.

The Ashdown Mag rig would be much better than the Beringer.An Avatar 212 or 410 from the classifieds here would kill both the Mag 410 and the Beringer 410 also.That with the Mag 300H head would be a very good rig and be under $600.
craigslist. I'm sure it's put a serious bite in the local music store scene in Austin. Right now I could pickup an Acoustic 320 and an Eden 2X10 for $500 (separate sales); I woud easily take that over a new Behringer for around the same $$$. Of course you could be buying someone else's problems...
i just found a hartke 200watt rig up for 100 bucks i'm thinking i may go with that and the ashdown 4X10 or a new avatar and binge a little with orange tolex. any thoughts?
