Hi folks, I'm hoping you can help me with a bit of a dilemma I have. You'll probably glean that I'm a bit of a technophobe but here goes..
I currently use a Markbass LM Tube 500 and a few weeks ago was offered a UL410 Series II in mint condition for a really good price so I kinda ignored the fact it was only an 8 ohm unit and snapped it up.
I have to say it sounds really good at house volume and the tone is perfect for me but I havent tried it with my band yet a six piece folk rock band.
I really would like to keep the head and Im sure Itll give me enough volume for my needs but Im a little concerned that the UL410 is only receiving 300 watts which probably isnt enough for the cab.
Another reason I'd like to keep the head is I also use it with a single Aguilar GS112 for rehearsals and small / acoustic gigs and it's perfect for that.
Do I really need something more powerful thatll put say - 500 watts into the cab at 8 ohms, ie; a Shuttle 9 or an LM Tube 800 etc. and if I do buy one of those, will I be able to use that with the Aguilar or do I just accept that I may need 2 heads?
