Looking for a decent bass amp

OK, so I had the audition last night, and I had to pump my Fender Rumble60 up to 11 just for the audition. Clearly, this is not going to cut it if I get into the band.

Bass players and other sound guys, what should I be looking at for live performance? I am currently not made of money. Here's a link to their tracks on soundcloud, in case that helps:

I have gotten awesome sounds out of a Yorkville 400W bassmaster, These guys are way better bang for the buck than you'd think.

Amps I've loved the crap out of:
Eden
Amps I've hated:
Gallien Krueger

Eden amps are expensive, though, unless you can find a used one.

Too bad we're not neighbors, Spud. I'd let you take 'Ol Joe. That's an 18 incher. Put my Ampeg 1300 watt head on top, no problem keeping up with the band. Care to pay for freight? Yeah, start scouring the used ads, Craigslist, etc. I like some of the Ashdown products I've come across. Solid state clarity and big volume for less than crazy prices, typically.
