Good amp for funk, not to expensive

Hello fellow bassists,

I now have an ibanez swx65, and I decided to buy a new comb.
My budget would be around €600.

what I need:

- An amp that can provide excellent funky tones, I like slapping a lot.
- Should also be usable for metal.
- Should be loud, because the noise our drummer makes, kinda attacks my bass sound: I don't hear myself playing, unless I REALLY turn up my amp alot. In that case, I kinda have a motion of what I'm playing.
- It should last a while, and usefull for gigs too.
- It should be moveable enough to get it downstairs and in the car, each time I go to my friends :p.
- Speakers should be around 12" / 15", once I got told the sound improves alot above 12".

Feel free to give me your suggestions, I'll be glad to read them.

Greetz,
Me :hiding:
