"Looking to buy a used bass amp to match the guitar.
What model Carvin amp is best overall?"
What do you mean? You have a Carvin BASS and you want a Carvin amp?

Carvin B2000, although the out of production B1500 is my favorite. While I do love their amps, their cabs are nothing special to me.

Kibble, milkbones, and P Basses. And redheads.
the B2000 is a great amp or you could run something like one of their power amps as well as the TS-100. I have heard good things about doing that combo. You get a some tube power as well as SS.
Their BRX series cabs are great IMO right on par with anything you would get from Avatar.

I'd imagine they'd go well together since it's two products they make. Looking for a combo or just the head?
Your besht? Lozersh alwaysh whine about their besht. Winnersh go home and f*** the Prom Queen.
Seriously, you'll get a hundred answers from a hundred people on what is 'best.' Without specifics nobody can really help you nail anything down.

Mmmmmyah.... no such thing as "the best." What are you looking for? Loudest? Lightest? Easiest to use? Some particular tone?
I have a 2x10 Carvin cab that works just great. Not sure that it's got any huge character compared to other 2x10 cabs, but it gets the job done. Much more of a prized possession for me is the MB210 combo. That little beastie has 200 watts through a 2x10, so plenty of volume and tone for band practices and small gigs, and weighs just 36 pounds. Does it sound better than my old Ampeg BA115HPT? No, not really, but it doesn't sound bad either. Plus it doesn't weigh 80 pounds, and it was $400 new.

I was actually considering buying an MB210 soon, I like the direct out seeing as we have a PA, but this will only be until I have enough to build an Orange rig, which wont before a while
