Recommend me the Best Bass Amp......

I've been using a Mesa Boogie M2000 head with SWR Goliath III (4X10) and an SWR Big Ben (1X18) for years with no complaints. This rig will whisper across any room and carry with authority out doors. The M2000 is the most versatile head ever with a tube side, and an FET side. Set them up for totally different sounds and you can blend them together just like rolling between an neck and a bridge pickup on your bass. It's powerful too, 625 watts into 4 ohms. For small venues just bring the 4X10 cab. The M2000 is no longer in production and was $2000 back in 1992 but you can get a good used one for about $800. You can see an online demo of it just by searching YouTube for it. I love this rig and plan to scoop up another one for a spare.
 
um...behringer. sorry but eww
warranty is supposedly questionable on behringer stuff, however, even roland only has a 1 year warranty... having problems even getting parts for a kc100 keyboard amp I had a woofer blow in .. china, china & china... they are building on reefs in international waters, building ghost cities with all the the money we send there, and have heard from reliable sources that behringers copys/steals some ampeg designs.. just like they do other products, from software to sunglasses.. sad here prisoners make license plates.. there prisoners build behringer, or so I have heard
