Start off with trying a lot of the good advice already given in this thread. If you are serious about the band and gigging then I'd say you will be wanting to upgrade your amp sooner or later. You have a lovely bass, so why play it through some duff old amp and cab.
Anyway, for the genres you mention, take a look at Gallien Krueger (GK) amps, maybe an MB500 or MB Fusion. As for cabs ... yours may be OK, what is it ? A couple of GK 112 neo cabs would be light and very loud with a 500W amp.
THere are so many great amps and cabs out there though, but for someone new to the scene, into the type of music you are, GK is a good place to start.

Sweet man! Cheers, I was looking at the mb500, the cab is pretty sh*t so I'd probably have to get new one too
