I find some deals, what would you went for? (this is the correct grammar? )
I looking for something relatively portable, clear, flat, focused sound with enough lows for it’s size to using with my 6 string electric to...
I’m doubling a lot, but mostly play on acoustic upright, in various band and venues, sometimes I must play in loud band....
For my pocket would be better to get a combo, but Aggie is a Relic...

Phil Jones Suitcase with the matching 4x5 extension cab (that’s a bery cheap deal)

EBS Drome old blue Swedish build 12 Combo (super cheap)

Markbass Traveler 121 H cab

Mesa Powerhouse 1x12

Phil Jones 6B (6 ohms works with Ag500?)

I thinking the New Phil Jones CAB-47 to....

Barcza,
It's impossible for me to suggest an amplifier for you, because none of the choices you've mentioned are amplifiers I've played through. Like Carl suggested

you'll only be happy with amps you've played through. Just my opinion of course. Most of the players who use Phil Jones get the Superflight Case, because

it louder and speaker coverage is better.
 
I've played many PJB amps, own 4 different models, and the Super Flightcase always comes out on top. Has been my main gigging amp for the past 8-10 years. I would buy another in a heartbeat. Plenty of power, compact, reasonably lightweight at about 30 lbs, and the 2 upward facing drivers are a game changer. Don't care for Markbass at all. No experience with Mesa or EBS.
