Time for some TB advice

[Jscriv]

Looks like I'm gonna be trading an old parts jazz bass for a ampeg portaflex 2x10. I'm now on the hunt for a head for said cab. I currently play an SWR SM400 through an acoustic bn410. To be honest I love the way that rig sounds. I don't wanna go out and grab another sm400 because well, what fun is that. A generic question I know, but I dig the SM sound and looking for something similar, so what's a comparable head???

What's your budget?

I'm not too sure yet.

Why not use your SM400 with your new cab?

The sm400 is the only head I've ever had. I've had it for about 15 years. Just looking for something new to play with.

I've liked SWR's sound a lot. I've also liked Eden and Mesa Boogie heads. I've had a couple ampeg heads, not the tone for me. I had a portaflex rig with a 210 and 115, and the PF500 head. Sounded pretty good, but ultimately not the rig for me.

I would probably go with Genz Benz. Great tone, reliable, and still serviceable through TB's agedhorse. Eden is good too, but good luck getting one repaired.
