Another vote for the TC RH 450!

Definitely nowhere near "the loudest" IME. Not even close.

The RH450 is a cool amp but I am finding myself turning the master vol to at least 8/10 when paired with a single TC 2x10 at rehearsal. VERY loud drummer and guitarist and in a basement, but this is not the loudest "450W" non-tube head out there or even close.

In any case, the RH750 would give you a cool blend of cool looking, loud, feature rich and won't break your back.

The Ampeg SVT is very loud as are the Big Block Mesas. Both weigh lots!

A GK 1001RB-II is loud and doesn't weigh a ton.

Lots to chose from....

You have to decide for yourself. I can tell you this, for ME the best bass amp is the Aggie DB750.

20 years ago I would have said Ampeg.
10 years ago I would have said Eden
Today I'm gonna say Genz Benz
Tomorrow??????

My favourite amp? Right now I guess I'd go with my Carvin Bx1500. Tons 'o' features, tons 'o' power, lightweight and reasonable cost. Oh yeah, great tone too.

I also really like the gkmb500. Lots of power, very good price and again great tone.

Depends on which amp I'm owning right now

So far I really like the Ampeg B15 and Ashdown Little Bastard for tone and visual designs. And so I can claim that you don't need a bazillion watts to be heard

For all around goodies, Genz Benz ShuttleMAX 12.0 for hybrid/SS amp and Peavey VB3 for all-tube amp.
