Finding right combo amp?...need help!!!

[ppal]

i'm in the market for a high end combo amp (SWR, Eden, Ampeg, MarkBass, etc.) i play fretless bass and i was thinking that the 12' speaker might be a better choice than the 10' for fretless (better midrange). i mainly do smaller gigs, so i dont really need a big rig at all, and i'm looking for portability ( i have a huge Trace Elliott rig that i'm not sure i should keep and scale down, or just get a high end combo amp). or just keep my 4x10 trace elliott cab and get a Eden, SWR, or Ampeg head....need some suggestions.

The owner of the biggest music store in Vt plays jazz gigs with nothing more than an Ampeg BA112, he admitted as much to me recently!!
Absolutely, Ampeg-rock-solid-reliability. And tone.

Look no further, it will only confuse you as to the true nature of your quest.

on my second rig I recently switched from aguilar gs112 to bergantion ex112. 7 lbs lighter, and a little less deep, but still very satisfying! maybe check out the berg ht112 w/tweeter.

Check out Markbass I was just in GC in Boston today and played through the 1x12 combo. It sounds great and is very small and light. I ended up leaving with a LMKII head. I also have a Mesa Walkabout Scout that is pretty cool but I think the Markbass would be easier to move it's a little bit smaller and lighter.

I'm interested as to why you think 12s will give you better midrange than 10s?
