Grab up a QSC PLX series, or Crown XS series power amp, and put a nice preamp like the Aggie DB659 in front of it. EQ it properly, and you will never have volume issues.

+1 to that
Flattening the EQ did help. The Rick was really punching through club but that's what I love about my that bass. I have a Kuston GrooveBass 600 that I use in a Rock Trio up in Harrisburg but That group prides itself in blend and dynamics.
