For those that are interested, I just thought I'd close this thread out.....
Well, after several weeks of trying out amps with my MM Jazz Bass (Shuttle's, MB III, TC, Ampeg and Ashdown), I finally went for.............
a TC RH450.
I've tried to discard the recent 'hype' about these TC amps and I know (on paper) it's only 50W more than the SWR but in my opinion, these amps [i]are[/i] very good.
Nice warm sound, loud with both 12" Berg's, presets, built in tuner, built in compressor option, smooth gain control and lights up like a Xmas tree!
(I tried a TC Classic where I could here single coil hum but not with the RH450 which was interesting.)
I've used it a few times now before writing this reply and I'm loving that 'old skool' sound.
Thanks to everyone for their input.
Cheers, Jim
