hartke stuff with a musicman?

Currently, and for a while now, my favorite rig is a Harke 3500 with an Ampeg SVT 4x10 HLF. I play a Music Man S.U.B. 5-string through it and it FREAKIN' rocks. Just came back from practice. Couple songs we cover are "Dani California" by the Red Hot Chili Pepppers, "I am a Highway" by Audioslave, "Mudshovel" Staind, and a whole lot of other modern rock tunes. I have no problem nailing any of these tones. I also hold it down for a country band and I can dial in a nice, smooth, thick, deep bottom for some of that stuff. Also, I do some work with Rich Spina of Hermin's Hermitts and can get the right sounds for that style also. Just my 2 cents!
 
if i use a Hartke Bass Amplifier Half Stack with Hartke 2500 and VX410 with a musicman sub sterling, how will the tone on that puppy be? if anyone knows please tell me. i'm looking for a good rock, alternative, indie tone.

got a hartke 550 head c/w VX4x10 and VX1x15 cabs and i can dial in what ever tone i'm after.i use a usa jazz and a 5 string olp.loads of headroom with nice tone.:)
