I'm starting to wish I'd held on to get an Ashdown Evo 180 with the 15" speaker!

Thanks to everyone who replied. I tried it out with the band the other night. Although I can get a good level of volume and keep up with the drummer, I do get a bit nervous that I'm not going to be able to get a bit more out of it. I was considering getting a 15" cab as well, but I think I should just trade it for a bigger job like the MAG300.

My existing bass is an old Carlsbro BG90 with 15" speaker and 90 watts output. It is pretty old and beaten up and I've had a few issues with loose wiring, but easily rectified with a trip to guitaraid in Fulham. I was told Ashdown were pretty good for the money and I thought 90 watts vs 180 watts was a no brainer (even though the Carlsbro is bigger and has a 15" speaker) I've got a Fender Aerodyne Jazz and have just tried it through the two amps one after the other and actually think the Carlsbro has more punch and more in reserve. Any thoughts from members? The Carlsbro has held its own with the drummer, although I get a few flat spots, but I did expect to be blown away a bit more with a new amp against my 80s beast.
