Traitorous Usurper
Just did a thread on a clean combo amp...and I got to thinking.
Eventually, I'm going to look into investing in a bass rig and I'm wondering about killing two birds with one stone here. Gallien Krueger makes a cheap 210 cabinet (around 200 bucks), which would likely be part of the package I'd buy for a bass rig. I'm wondering how this would work with my Line 6 head, or if this is just the dumbest idea ever?
Thing is...I don't really need a combo amp, but I wanted something a little more portable than the stupid 4x12's I've got lying around. Hauling those things over to somebody's apartment for a "dicking around" session is more work than I'd like to put in, so something smaller to run the head through would be ideal.
Of course, I also need to look at impedance/wattage matching here, and I'm still as clueless as I've ever been on this stuff. My head is a 300 watt Flextone...says it's rated 300w at 4 ohms, 200w at 8 ohms, and 120 watts at 16 ohms. Reading up on the GK, we're looking at handling of 200w at 8 ohms, so this looks like a fit to me...I'm not missing anything here, right? (duhhhh...)
Anyway...thoughts? Too bassy with regards to tone? Too stupid? Too...anything else?
