Double Bass amp compatible with cabinet speakers for double bass?

Hi I have a Ashdown 4x10 speaker cabinet and an Ashdown mag600 head!
Im looking at getting a smaller speaker/Combo can anyone reccomend anything? and or can i use my head with a Fender 500 or a Markbass 2 x10 ,or a phil jones lighcase ?
 
. . . . can i use my head with a Fender 500 . . . . ?

Welcome to TalkBass, M'Lady!

Mmmm, the Fender Rumble 500 is a head, or combo, itself. So, no, you can't use your head with it, sorry. But the Fender Rumble 500 combo would be a great sounding, lightweight replacement for your current rig.

You could use your head with one, or possibly two, Rumble speaker cabs. Refer to the Fender Rumble Summary Info, on the wiki page linked in my signature, for wattage ratings to select some appropriate to your head.

And you are cordially invited to ask questions in the Fender Rumble Club to help arrive at an agreeable solution to your needs.

Enjoy yourself at TalkBass!
