Double Bass Looking to upgrade my amp

[mrvermin]

I currently play some small combo gigs with an Acoustic AB50 which works pretty well, but it wont cut through a big band. I'm in love with the SWR Natural Blonde, but I cant find one anywhere! Any recommendations for similar amps?
Ive been told to look at-
PJB Briefcase
SWR Working Pro
etc

thoughts on these?
Im just looking for an amp that isn't going to add any color to my tone, just add volume. Also portability is nice.
Thank you! First Post!

Which pickup are you using? Do you use a preamp?

Do you have a budget in mind?

All amps will color your tone to some degree. Some less than others. Expect some compromises.

Welcome to the rabbit hole!

I play with a realist and no I don't use a preamp. I'm pretty inexperienced with the electronic side of things

If you don't need a bunch of reinforcement, I still like the GK MB150. It's light, simple, inexpensive, and doesn't color the sound much. I used a realist with one happily for over a decade. I sometimes take it with me as a safety on quiet gigs.

I think there is one with an extension speaker in the classifieds right now.
