Keep it or Sell It ?!?!

Im in need of a change and an upgrade.

Here are my basses: :bassist:
1. Ibanez Roadstar II 5 string w/ Ibanez active pups
2. Esp F-155DX 5 string w/ ESP acitive pups

I play both basses through two setups:
1. Line 6 LD150 combo
2. Hartke HA2500 though the VX410

Im looking to get rid of both basses and upgrade to something much better. Getting a new bass is the easy decision. But Im struggling on whether or not i should keep 1 of my amps or sell them both. The Line6 is nice but doesnt have enough volume to keep up with my crazed drummer and the two 150watt guitar amps i play along with. The VX410 is loud but doesnt have the tone im looking for, its punchy but isnt very deep at all (Deff a funk slap amp). I play a mix of rock and metal/thrash music. Ive been playin bass for about 2 years so im still very new to it all. Having somthing portable like a 2X10 or 2X12 Combo might be a good idea if its got enough volume and the tone im looking for. Lemme know what ya think...thanks
