I'm only using the outboard EQ and power amp because they were available cheap. I'd love an SWR Bassic 350 head and Goliath II cab- or a Bag End. But I'm building a Bill Fitzmaurice Omni 15 Tallboy cab this spring, and at that point will look for a head in earnest, probably give up the Crest poweramp. Simple is really the way to go for amps, for me. I don't like having a lot of pieces of gear.
An extension cabinet? Jeez - one of my complaints about the Super Redhead is its weight!

Actually, If I just replaced the wheels, the SWR would still be good for the electric bass work that I do (with an extension cabinet for the loudest gigs), but for the upright stuff, I'm not completely satisfied with the sound I'm getting from the SWR.
