Suggestions for a Bass Amp with Specific needs

[left]Good day All[/left]

[left]I am in need of some suggestions for a Bass Amp that needs to meet some specific requirements[/left]

[left]Two inputs - This will be used for teaching (So two Basses) and also for plugging in electronic Drums and a Bass at the same time[/left]
[left]Compact and lightweight – I will need to be able to move it around from studio to car/house upstairs – Possibly gigs wattage depending[/left]
[left]Headphone socket for silent practice[/left]
[left]Effects would be nice but I am not too worried about bells and whistles[/left]
[left]Aux input – NOT A DEAL BREAKER[/left]
[left]It can be just a head or a combo[/left]
[left]Wattage is not massively important but over 100w up to about 500w[/left]
[left]Under £500 do not mind second hand at all[/left]

[left]All the above have to be included in the Amp expect possibly the Aux and effects. I am not particularly stuck on the price but am pretty certain I can get something for this.[/left]
[left] I have had a Genz Benz some time back but only one Input if I remember rightly and would like to try something else.[/left]

[left]Suggestions??[/left]

You could buy a small mixer that would satisfy the aux ins and 2 basses then plug into any amp.

A small SH mixer will give you the inputs aux and headphone and maybe even some effects. Then connect that to a power amp and then to a cab of your choice

Correct Japan hence why I submitted the question- It is not as easy a dilemma as it sounds unless you just want a little practice amp with little tone and even less power. Normally I would not entertain a multi purpose piece of equipment, but I am moving around and already have the Drums and Bass in tow.

I actually spoke to a shop after putting the topic up and they suggested I try an Alto Truesonic TS115A Active PA Speaker - mainly due to the Drum/Bass usage combo, it unfortunately does not seem to have a headphone socket but I can get around this with my multi effects pedal. - I am going to give it a go and it should be here tomorrow.

We will see

TecAmp Bonafide has the features, more wattage than you indicated (which isn't always awful), but may be a bit pricey:

My first thought was the first few replies... Get a small mixer.
As for headphones, make sure the mixer you get has a headphone out (or two).
As for portable combos that you can gig with, I've had bass & lekky drums doing exactly what you want. A mixer into a Markbass combo.
Did it at a beer festival & regularly at church.
