Hi,
Looking for a new rig and have NO idea which way to go.
Ive played metal for years so always had a heavy sound, This isnt my band, just a good example of the sound i had... about 20secs in is just the bass (waiting for the "Cant hear it when its that heavy so buy anything" comments haha)

Im after an amp that can go heavy but also go clean as i help out in a friends cover band playing soft rock, rock n roll etc. Going from Thrash/death metal to Beatles needs a very different sound :-)
I used Peavey MK IV for years (Still have it) then moved over to my Peavey Tmax which has been great ever since.
Cabs i use are 2 Megabass... Huge heavy things.
Main reasons for change is the physical size of it all considering i dont play as often & The Tmax struggles on the cleaner sounds, 'G' & 'D' strings just fade away whilst the 'A' & 'E' still have loads of thump.
Been reading up on PF800, GK 1001, Peavey Tour 700, had a friend big up Markbass... Then i was Just going through Youtube and heard this...

Gak is selling one reduced from £2100 to £999... sounds to good to be true.
Im not set on anything so open to all opinions.
I like the idea of the smaller heads though like the PF800 & GK Fusion 800.
Any advice would be really appreciated.
More than happy to expand on any questions too... Im new to this amp hunting lark, had the Megabass & Peavey stack for so long.
I dont have a music shop near me to go try loads out (Southampton), closest to me is GAK... i want to try narrow the search down before heading all that way, dont want to go in asking to try 15 heads if i can delete a few from the list here with good advice.
Thanks in advance.
