I've been running through an old Peavey Mace combo outfitted with two Carvin
bass 12s. It's still a guitar amp though and the box cannot take it. I am
getting ready to buy an Avatar 2X10 from the factory. Cost is 229.00 but it
takes 700watts rms. A good cheap head is the Behringer Ultrabass which puts
out 300 watts rms for only $219.00 This head cranks as much as an ampeg SVT
and people tend to avoid it thinking it's cheap. But the company in Germany
outsourced the production of this head to China and it's conservatively
rated. If you go to HarmonyCentra.com and read the reviews, alot of working
musicians like these heads so much they are buying two at a time. My other
alternative is to get a rack and put components together for more wattage but
I cannot afford this and most people are keeping it small these days and
running a direct line into the PA and using a small amp for their backline
monitor. The wife has given me the "go-ahead" to spend some money
