I own a Mesa Boogie Walkabout 12 inch combo. It has a tube preamp that really warms up the sound and it can deliver at med-high volumes. It has a passive down firing 10 inch woofer that moves some air close to the floor where all those bass frequencies like to live. It works. I've used it with both electric and upright basses and it works with all, but I prefer it with the electric bass guitars.
I also own an Acoustic Image Contra combo amplifier. This is for the double bass in a small room or an acoustic group. I would also use it for some of the hollow body basses (like the Carvin) and the mandocello. It has a very clean and uncolored sound. It is surprisingly bass-y for such a small light amp. It has a down firing 10 inch woofer that really spreads the sound around the room.
