This any good you recon? Need a bass amp very very soon. Can someone please help me. Need to get decent one, and that is my budget there. Or what is the story with heads and cabinets, how do the ohms work?

Thats a great amp imho.

Ohms...

If a head gives out 300w @ 4ohms then you'll need a 4ohm cab to hit that wattage. Which you'll not hit cause you will never drive your rig that hard.

Heads are usual rated at various ohms. Like

300w @ 8ohms, 600 @ 4ohms etc. You'll need to match your cab to the rating you wish to achieve.

If a head gives out 800w @ 4ohms then you could connect two 400w 8ohms cabs(1x15 & 4x10) to hit the 4ohms load and thus produce the 800w @ 4ohms.

Hope that helps.

That combo is hitting 36kg which would be a heavy weight to carry etc. Breaking it up into head and cab just makes things easier. Plus you could bring a solid state head/hybrid head into studio and run it into the desk with the need of cab for recording. You can add a cab onto a combo but sometimes the amps in the combo's will not take the load etc. So you should try get a rig that will outdo your current setup, that way your less likely to be back her in a years time saying I need a bigger rig etc.
