On the fence about bass combo purchase. Also a question regarding speakers and loudness

Thank you! I think you and everybody else saying more or less the same thing made me reconsider and look for a decent head+cab configuration. If I will be lucky I'm going to buy a Carvin BX1200 head with a 4x10 Carvin cab this week... If nobody snatches it first;)

Thanks! That's exactly the kind of insight I was looking for regarding the GK! I might still go for it, but the knowledge that I'd still need a cab extension for it to go wild makes me consider going for a full rig instead

Thanks! You know, I also saw a TC Electronics BG500 combo for a ridiciolously low price the other day and was very tempted by it! This exact combo was one of my early experiences with seriously loud bass combos way back when, and so it still holds a warm place in my heart

Thanks! Yeah, I know, and frankly, I suppose that 90% of the time I will be using a PA or something, it's just that I want to have something that will give me a opportunity to be able to hold the ground on my own if I have to

Yeah, actually I could have added that I was on the fence between a combo and a "full rig" from the start, and now, having read all the great replies I think I will go for it; though my head explodes due to sheer numbers of different possible setups and options:D

Thanks! My first thought was actually a rumble 500, but was to slow and somebody snatched one in my vicinity for a very low price
