I'm considering buying a T-100 style cabinet and trolley with an empty AC-100 style head cab from Northcoast music for use in my Beatle tribute band. My basses are a Hofner and a Rick 4003. If anyone is familiar with this set up could you recommend an amp head to power this cabinet. It has 2-15 inch speakers rated at 400 watts rms. I'm currently using a 150 watt Ampeg but it's borderline loud enough. Thanks

Mark Bass little mark tube head, your choice of 500 watts or 800 watts, or Ashdown EVO II 500 WATTS..

You're sounding like Bob Young!

I don't think Bob's that young, either!

Naw but they are both big proponents of old SVTs.

I use mine (SVT-2 Pro) to warm the basement area we jam in.

North Coast Music shows an example of a setup like you're talking about. That guy used a Gallien Kreuger light weight Bass amp head. 500 watts if I remember.
