Thanks for the reply. Yes I do like the hartke sound although I have only played a Carlsbro amp to compare it to. I have received a few bad comments but I suspect that might be abit of snobbery towards it ? I know someone with a tc 4x10 rig and it doesn't really cut throughwell in my opinion so what's what made me think to just go powerful and compact. I like the look of the EBS head and supertwin cab, I will have a look to see if I can find any of them second hand

Hello, I am currently looking into replacing my Hartke VX2500 with a more powerful (but hopefully not too much bigger) setup. I play in a covers band that plays rock/soul/pop in medium to large pub gigs and we don't normally play with bass bins so the amp has got to shift a lot of air itself. I have viewed online (but haven't went and played because of my rural location) - Roland D 400w 2 x 10 - Markbass 500w 2 x 10 - Ampeg B2 450w head with ampeg b series 4 x 10 cab - Orange 500w head orange 2 x 12 cab Being quite new to bass playing I don't really have a clue what would be best for my situation. My budget is about £1200 , not fussed if new or second hand. Any recommendations of any of these products or anything else you can think of for my situation would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
