Hard to say without knowing what sort of sound you want to get?
I love my old Vibrolux Reverbs but the new production VR is not really a reissue, more a sort of "influenced by".

yeah, what exactly are you looking to do with it?
The new AC30CC models are really versatile and can cover a lot of ground. So without knowing any details, I'd recommend one of those. I picked up one a while back and am real happy with it. I had high expectations for it, but it has met and exceeded them all

Leaving aside the new VRs ('cos I don't really know too much about them) I'd probably pick the AC30 over the Bassman RI.
I'm assuming you mean the 4x10" tweed Bassman RI .. I think the AC30 would probably sound more funky clean than a tweed. Either would rock pretty well I reckon.
If you're more funk than rock, you might want to consider a Fender blackface/silverface sound .. you could probably find an old silverface for not much more than a new VR. The bigger ones like Twins and Pros tend to go cheaper and they would have the headroom you'd need for a loud clean James Brown-style funk.
Having said all that, since the three models you picked are all currently available you should be able to find a store that has them in stock .. take your guitar down and try them out!

sorry, I deleted previous post about my funk-rock purposes...
...you say Twins and Pros, eh?...
...well, you're right, I have to try 'em all...
thank you!

Nothing embarrassing about funk .. easy to learn but incredibly hard to play well.
There's nothing like a proper old-school funk band really locked into a groove.
