Maybe a little late to the party but my two cents...Tone is subjective so everything should be taken with a grain of salt. That said, I owned a Ibanez Soundwave amp long ago. I can't tell you how much it sucked...(IMO) the only Ibanez amp that I have ever thought to keep was the promethean line (higher end). That said, shopping amps is an expensive endeavor. I would go with Muleskinnerslider for step one, get a good setup on that bass (Ibanez does make a pretty nice bass and the one you own is very nice). After set up, take it to your local guitar center, or some other music shop and plug into a couple of cabs. Try them all, Fender Rumbles are very nice, Ampeg, Mark Bass, Accoustic, GK, Mesa, etc. The pricing will vary wildly but play around until you find "that tone". While your at it, pull a couple of basses off the wall and see how they compare to your Ibanez. Even if you don't find it, the search is always fun!
Good luck.
