  1. Get you to a shop and try Zvex stuff.
    Go at a quiet time like a weekday morning, bring your gear and try various cabs. Then ask everyone in the shop for advice. Try the stuff they come up with.
    Purchase when certain, but make sure you get a money back warranty should it not work out.

    Or test the fuzzrocious gear at a near BCer.

  2. Here's a vote for looking at Hartke amps aswell as the TC, Markbass and Ashdown gear. Peavey 410 or 210 cabs are awesome, a bit heavy but nigh indestructable. And cheap!
    I use an SWR amp, they sound great to me, very fast!

  3. Get you to a better headphone shop, bring some good music that you are very familiar with and compare the lot. A £20 headpiece will NOT sound like a £150 one if you are discriminate about your monitoring.

    Listen for the hard to spot details, the stuff you lose when converting from wav to mp3 or like the meat of your finger hitting a string finished by the clack of a corner from your nail just clipping it.

    A decent headphone will let you check a monitor mix for levels and pan-ing. Please stay clear of the "hi-fi" cans. Those are made to sound pleasant, not anywhere truthfull.
    On your budget check out
    -Beyerdynamic dt770 pro 80 ohms
    -sennheiser hd 25 - 1
    And their competition
    One of these will take your music farther than any Beats, Skullcandy or other hyped up crap fashion brand.

    Also, enjoy the search ;)
