Hello, I'm looking for a combo amp with something like 2 10s or 2 12s, that has a removable head, and yet the head has enough power to push a 6x10 cabinet if I need to play a big show. Anyone have any ideas?

it does exist...the Genz Benz Shuttle6.0/210 combo. The head is 600 watts to 4 ohms with a tube preamp. The 6.0 slides out of the combe to be placed on top of any 810 box and if it is a 4 ohm cabinet it will push 600 watts...375 watts to an 8ohm load...75 more than an SVT
It is the combo to the right of Jeff Genzler...lol with his water bottle on it

Also, the Mesa M6 Carbine (or Venture MPulse 600) can be had as a 2x12 combo, and the head pops out. The Walkabout is a 300 watt, 1x12 version, but even that will power up a 610 with ease. I think Mesa and Genz Benz are the only good options.

Nope, as noted, Mesa and GB both make items that exactly fit the description. Also, several of the new micro heads are so small that you could velcro any one of them to the top of a cab and call it a combo; then easily remove it for driving any larger cab.
Why does the head have to be removable? You could also buy a standard high-end 2 x 10 combo, like an Eden Metro or SWR Redhead and then put the whole bloody thing on a 4 X 10 should you need that much oomph.
Folks have been doing this for years. It is generally not a lightweight solution but it works like a charm.

How about the new Fender TB-600C. My Bassman 250/210 sounds awesome so, I can't image what this sounds like.

I guess I don't understand how you can +1 that, seeing as specific examples have already been given of things like that that do exist.
Mesa M6 Carbine Combo fits the bill. You could even get a matching expansion cabinet if you wanted...
Have fun!
How about the Carvin BR510N combo.

The head is held in place with a rack mount and is easily removable. I have this amp it is freaking loud! Nice thing is the combo weighs less than 50 pounds! Puts out 500 watts at 4 ohms.

If it sounds anything close to my TB-600 head through an Orange 15, it's a winner.
