    Hello there,

    Since I'm expecting the delivery of my MTD soon, I've just been taking stock of my musical situation and trying to figure out what I want for the future. I currently play in a regularly gigging rock/schmindie band, a kind of big band that does a mixture of motown, funk and jazz, a metal band and a functions band, so all in all I need a fairly versatile piece of kit.

    I'll start off by saying I like the cabs I'm currently going through - Epifani UL410s, both 4 ohms. When I tried them out at the shop I went through a Mesa BB750 and it was based on the tone I could pull from that with my Pbass and Jbass that I chose the cabs.

    I'd like an amp that can pull off some deep growl but also give a lovely, clean, gospel type tone. I also need something that'll go to 2 ohms. I've been told to look at a number of heads including the Mesa BB750, the Aguilar DB750, the Orange AB200 and the Mesa 400+ . I've also been told to just go for a complete Aguilar set up and a full Orange set up. All in all, I'm not really going to be able to try them all before I buy so if anyone can offer some opinions I'd be really grateful.

    Thanks!

  2. GK 2001rb would foot the bill! Why the 2 ohm rating? Just wondering.

    It's just I bought two 4ohm UL410's with the intention of picking up a second hand Mesa BB750, I'm just kind of considering my options before taking the plunge! Never thought GK! I'll be taking a look :)

    Thanks!
