Cool. How do you like playing bass Robert?

I'm not really big on combo amphs since it seems the speaker cab part is something of a compromise. I typically suggest separates so that you can get a cab that has the proper internal volume for the driver.

For the suggested style and price, I'd recommend a Hartke LH500 head and Hydrive 115 cab. Blues and country usually means pretty deep tone and that setup would have it in spades. Just make sure to dime the mids on an LH head. "Flat" on one of those is B @ 2, M @ 10, and T @ 2. It's a Fender tone stack.

I briefly had an LH500, but was playing in a band with heavily distorted guitar and it was lost in the mix. I returned to for my current Shuttle which is a bit on the spendy side.

Regardless, I think for a blues/country format the LH500 would give some good booty-shaking bass. The Hydrive cabs have near-boutique tone at an affordable price. Hey, even Victor uses them!
