Ya tryin ta get rid of me or somethin’?If you hold your breath long enough, it is one less hat to fill
First of all, let's say that holding your breath is a choice you made on a completely independent basis. You can't blame me for encouraging you... so that our hard-earned smackeroons stay in the club treasury a little longer.
The B25 B. That's what I had, not the V4B. Had 2 cabinets. Best sounding rig I ever played. Just could not keep up with the loud band back then. No PA support. Made my SG sound amazing.

GD - Rumble Stage 800 - I have the Studio 40, which I love, and can reinforce it with
the Rumble 500 combo, which I love, but that's a combo of combos!
The RS800c beats that in a single combo!

How Can You Say NO To Combos?
I used to strap my guitar to the front of the sissy bar on my Yamaha XS650E, and my combo to the back of the bar, on the rack. Bit of a pig to ride at that point, but it worked. Weirdest ride? Drizzly night in Atlanta. On my way home from my only time taping for tv (I don’t think it aired). I had a waterproof tablecloth wrapped around the guitar and amp. Cop pulled me over because the tablecloth had slipped and was covering my taillight. When I explained, he helped me fix it so I could make it home safely.

It’s not the combo that’s the problem, it’s the lack of space for the childr... erm, roadies.

Recon- Any tube-powered combo, cause I’m a nerd and think vacuum-controlled electrons are cool.

Miles: Fender PS400 amp (Recon, you'd love it) . And bring Rich Koerner back to get me up to speed on maintenance.

RS800c are still easy to find new... Second hand this is the best deal I found after a 10 min scan.

Since y’all don’t seem to want to buy me that fretless (cough @swink )and to get me back on topic, here are some pics of a combo I used to have.
It’s a v2 Fender Rumble 30 (shout out to my Rumble Club buddies though they’ve already seen it.)
This is the amp that got me hooked on wedges:
If you like the Rumble sound and you like wedges, this amp is perfect.
It has the v2 Rumble tone which is pretty much the same but that some Rumble connoisseurs prefer to the v3.
(If you like one, you’ll like the other. They’re not THAT different.)
Also it’s 25 pounds (maybe 30 but not more than that) so it’s very portable. A lot of the v2 line was really heavy. The larger version of this is 55 pounds and is still only 75 watts into a 12”. Fender figured out the weight thing for the v3s.
This one is 30 watts into a 10” so you’re not going to hang with a loud drummer, but if you want your Rumble tone in a small portable wedge to play with acoustic guitar players using a PA, it’s perfect.
The Rumble King himself @G-Dog helped advise me when I bought it.

Be careful. Coughing at someone, in these times....
The Fender 400 PS Bass, though definitely not a combo, is possibly the single most awesome bass amp ... ever!

I know it kind of sounds low-endian but right now what I'd like to see most under the Festivus Pole is

Nice Cyclone Hot Wheels!
Your post was my first internet-provided laugh of the morning!I need to take a picture of my D4 with a Hot Wheels car. I think I have some that I found at Mom's house when we were cleaning it out.
Wasn't someone wondering what the most powerful combo is? Seems like this may take the lead at 800 W.
