Hey,
I am in the process of purchasing a bass head. I am really stumped as to which one to get. I am seriously open to any kind, just looking for something that has a crisp tone and some push. I have a fender jazz bass and about $900. Any ideas?

I too am in the need for a head. When u said $900, the first amp that came to my mind is the genz benz shuttle 9.0. Around $900 and its 900 watts. I played it through a 2x12 bergantino cab and it sounded great. I also would check out some mesa boogie stuff if that suits ur needs. I personally don't like eden stuff. And I tried the tc electronic stuff and it had a lot of decent tones while the genz benz had a few amazing tones imho. I assume u have a cab. I would find a local store with a lot of different heads and try them all out. U can't go by anything online, only ur ears. Good luck in finding an amp

If I were going to pick someone's head, I'd go with one of these.

If you're talking about bass amplification, I'd go with one of these.

Hey thanks for all the ideas,
I guess I should tell you a little more about this,
Well I help at A LOT of churches and I don't have a cab..yet.
So if you can help me any way with that, it would be much appreciated. Also, weight isn't a big issue for me.
