Warwick do some small combos, as do Hartke with their A series. I have the A70 which gets very loud, even the 35 is surprisingly powerful and is both small and light.

I'd check out that Line6 i linked to earlier though, that's a good deal and much cheaper than buying new.[/quote]

I do like the look of the Line 6 Studio 110. Good price and seems to be just what I am after.

Will look into the HArtke and Warwick stuff also.

The MB112 will be easily enough, only weighs 28lbs too.

I'd agree with the others though, we do acoustic stuff sometimes, I have a little 10w practice amp that I take. It doesn't sound great, but I can hear what I'm playing and I take my big amp to gigs so it doesn't matter if it's the right tone when it's just the 4 of us.

I have the same combo and have sometimes wondered in the past whether they should have built it with two side handles instead of one top handle, because in my opinion it's pushing the top end of the scale for a comfortable one-hand carry.

eat more spinach :)

....I didn't think's that's too heavy, compared to some for what you get?

[quote name='algmusic' post='1165841' date='Mar 17 2011, 03:01 PM']My Markbass 1x15 combo was 18kgs.. that's light. You can't say 27kgs is a lightweight cab[/quote]

My GB STL9.0+STL12T weight a total of 11kg... with 300W available... i think THAT'S light! :)

back on topic: for £50 in the sales section any amp with quality sound (this is the most important) will do just fine! I've used my Boxer15 on stage with a (quiet) drumer, two acoustic guitars and two voices monitored and the bass could be heard on stage by everybody! The audience only heard FOH though...
So 15W is good, 30W is even better! etc... You just need to find a make that suits your tone needs! Don't worry about power, just tone :)

I highly recommend these. I've had one for about 5 years.

EBS Classic Session 60

If it was in budget, I'd go for that.

Not had much to do with EBS, but I've liked what I have played through..
