Best "Guitar/Treble" Amp for Ric-O-Sound?

I want to try gigging with my 4003 (and 4001) using Ric-o-sound. My bass amp is a LMII Markbass head going into 2X10 and 1X15 Markbass cabs. So I figure that's my "neck pickup" amp. Now I need to think about what I send my bridge pickup to.
Any amp suggestions would be much appreciated. Not looking to spend a fortune here but let me know what you think I should be looking at. Musically I'm looking for a growly classic/progressive rock sound.

If you can afford it, go for that; Marshall Super Bass for treble and Ampeg vintage SVTs for the bass side are my ideal, but anyways...
I currently use a combination of an SWR Interstellar Overdrive and a old Carvin Tube 100 power amp (with EL34s) for the bridge pickup in a Rick-O-Sound configuration. I'm also using a 4x10 Carvin cab loaded with Celestions I took out of a Marshall 4x10 cab with this "treble" amp setup.

I use a Peavey tube guitar amp with two 12" speakers.

If you aren't playing huge gigs where you need a very loud stage monitor (your rig in essence) maybe you could get a comparable amp and run the bridge into the 2x10 and the neck into the 1x15...? Just a thought. I run just a Markbass 1x15 all the time lately and am very satisfied with that.
Also while your bridge pickup will be more treble-y than your neck pickup it still has gobs of low end compared to, say, a Jazz Bass bridge pickup. Running it into a guitar amp may still be asking for some trouble, unless it's a pretty serious guitar amp. Another "just a thought" comment from me...
