jeff.
Whatever you do, don't go for the Behringer tuner. i had one and it didn't see the low B and was pretty flaky with the E string aswell. Mike pisanek had the same problem so it wasn't an isolated incident. That's why i went for the Korg - works perfectly. I've not heard anything good about behringer from anyone - mostly regrets that they didn't save a little extra and buy something that actually works.

beaver is holding a used 1602 for 499
500 watts-4ohms
bridged 1600
i think that should be enough

You don't go.

The 1602 is a good amp. I use one for PA monitors and sometimes bridged for the mains. The price appears to be inline with the current used prices.

$400 has been the typical target for a used 1602, $500 for a 2402.

Flax, did you score the 1602 on ebay? I'm with Keith and think it will serve you well.

BTW, I have one piece of Behringer gear that has never let me down. I have their PX 2000 UltraPatch Pro patch bay. Of course, I set it up in my studio and haven't changed anything since, so I haven't exceeded the 10 insertions limit on the contact points! LOL

Good luck!

Bummer. But, what the heck, $499 with a 4 space rack ain't too bad. You'll want one.

When you get this system up and running, you'll have to get us a report - after you've got it broken in, or course. For an EUB I've got a Zeta Crossover upright which sounds great through my B2, I really want to hear your opinions on the Classico!

Flax you sould have a great rig for most any situation. I ran 10'sand 15's for years. I know that some at Alembic are partial to the 15's. So you have the best of those 2 worlds. Interesting thing, I used the B4 cab with the F1X SF2 3402 set up in a studio after they found it difficult to mic up the whappo jr. Track was a combo of miced cab, sansamp di and groovetubes tube di. So I can now say the B4 was out of the house once. Catch up with you later in the week for the epi.
