recommendations?

[christmetal]

currently i have a 300 watt behringer head with a 1000 watt behringer cab
i am looking to upgrade heads first and i have had my eye on Gallien Krueger 1001 rb-II
is this too big of an upgrade or are there any other amps you would recommend for me
any help would be appreciated

The GK is not "too big of an upgrade", unless you were planning on quitting bass soon. Aside from that, the only way anyone can make a recommendation for you is if you give this info first:
-your budget
-the style(s) you want to play
-the size and type of venue you play in
-the things that you do and don't like about your current amp
-any famous sounds you want to emulate; it's great if you can post an MP3 or Youtube clip so people can hear what you like.

umm budget is not that big of a deal
im just gonna save up for whichever one i get
i play a lot of christian rock kind of stuff and im in the process of learning blues
the main thing i dont like about my amp is that my sound variation is limited and it doesnt have as much power as i want

IMO you should get a 700rbII and use whats left to go towards a new cab, unless you're completely satisfied with you Berhinger cab that is.Ive got a 700rbII and a Neo 212 and it can thumppppp. Many people say the 1001rbII doesnt get the growl going until it hits high volume but Ive never used one so I dont know for a fact. But Im sure that is up for debate and Im definately sure you wont go wrong with a GK head.

Oh and no, its nto overkill. Theres no such thing IMO, if youre too loud turn it down and your problem is solved.
