need help deciding on new amp and cabinet

I also give a nod to a GK 800RB. It is a classic amp that has stood the test of time. My first real amp was a 400RB with a 1x15 and it rocked. I wish I still had that head. They are built like solid block of steel so getting one used shouldn't slow you down. A classic setup with the 800RB is a 4ohm 2x15 on the 300 side and a 8ohm 2x10 on the 100 side. :bassist:

Check this auction to see what the going rate is. ending soon...

IMHO....
Get your sound with what you like....
MESA quality and customer service is superior....
No I'm not endorsed by them....I've only played through MESA that sounds amazing... Eventually I'd like to swithch my whole rig over... Currently using TF550A that is awesome or BBEMaxT w/600+watts per channel Carver-Claire Bros. Power amp or Line 6 LD400HD and waiting on Shuttle 6.0... ALL sound killer through my MESA Powerhouse 600 2x10 cabinet at only 8ohms.... when linked with my 1989 SWR Goliath 4x10 and paired down to 4ohms.... The MESA sounds as big and full as the SWR...

The MESA 4x10 + 1x15 is fantastic and really sounds amazing with the Carbine M6 or any head of theirs you prefer....

MESA... done
 
there is a new music shop in my area and for consignment they had the acoustic 370/371 there which i tried and liked it has been sitting there for 4 or 5 months already if it is there i will probably get it if not will be back to same old question which head which amp $700 cdn
