What Are You GASsing For?

I'm very happy with my SVT4-Pro for BG, but for upright I'm searching high and low for the right amp. Right now it's between the AI Ten2, a Genz Benz Shuttle 9 with some sort of cab, or maybe a Phil Jones. The alt-country band I use the upright for plays LOUD rock clubs (and our drummer is stupid loud) so I need something with enough power but that lets my upright tone come through. Unfortunately the only amp I'll actually be able to test in town is the Genz Benz, no one has the other two in stock that I'm aware of.

Okay now that GC got a TC Electronic RH 450 in to try, I'd love that RH 450 with a 2x10 and a 1x12(or a 2x12) or for kicks an RH 750 with a 4x10 on a 2x12 for muscle but that would just be greedy lust. Speaking of lust, I'd like a midnight blue MVP 6 to go with my PentaBuzz and an NS CR 5 to replace the CR 4T I've got now.
 
Some new cabs. A couple 15's or some 10 configuration, not sure what brand or model yet. My Ampeg 810e is practically a permanent fixture at our band's practice space. I'd like something modular that I can haul around easily for jamming and small gigs and stack up for bigger stuff. After playing some ported 4x10 cabs lately the sealed 8x10 is starting to sound kind of stuffy and squished to me.
 
If I really had the money?

I'd get a custom active P bass (not sure on the wood yet but something lighter) with a natural finish, black pickguard, Badass II bridge, reverse headstock Jazz neck with black block inlays. MAYBE black hardware, but I'd probably stick with chrome.
