Snuk two more in so I'm going to take your B-String from you and leave you with an EADG!
Seriously, I will find the amps on YouTube to hear what they sound like. Thanks for listing your favorite amps.

NO don't take my low B from me! Every time I go back to a four string I run out of notes!
I'd go with mine:
-Ashdown ABM 575 EVO II (because it's the one I have. I just love the ABMs)
-Ampeg SVT-CL (don't have it, just used it in some gigs)
-Line6 Lowdown HD400
I know the last one might be crazy. I've had this amp head for 6 years now and it never failed me. Previously, I had a Line6 LD400 combo and I sold it because I was going to head+cab and I bought the Line6 head. I can get really cool sounds from it. Call me crazy, but I love this head.
Another amp that I love is the Aguilar DB750/751. The reason why it's not in my list, even though I love the Aguilar tone, is that I think it's too expensive for what it is. If I had the money to buy one of these, I'd probably go somewhere else.
I didn't include any GK head (I'm seeing that everyone is loving GK amps) because I haven't tried any. I have paired both of my heads with my GK cab though, which I really love.

Currently GK , Mesa, Eden.
I only play these at Jam sessions.
Strange that I do not own any of these
and haven't decided if my current amp
will make the list eventually, lol.

Attended a Shalamar concert with my sister and the bass player (Sam Sims) gear was an Ampeg amp and cabinet.
I owned a MB200 amp before acquiring my GK 700RBII amp. The MB200 is an incredible little amp with a big sound!
