Looking for loud combo amp

I play a Yamaha SVC-200 with a rock band and I need a loud amp. I like the SWR california blonde, but not the weight (50+ pounds). I like the Contra, but not the price ($1000+). Any suggestions? Thanks!!

Get a separate amp head and cabinet

By getting your amp in two separate pieces, you can carry two lighter items instead of one heavier one. If I can ever pry it away from the singer/bassist I work with, I'd gig with my 30-something lb. bass cabinet and Euphonic Audio bass head. My cab is an Epifani 2x10 - light enough to carry like a lunch box, yet can handle up to 500W.

Yoshi The Samurai Cellist tours with a little AER amp. It's loud enough for small venues and I think he runs it into the PA for bigger ones.
