Lightweight amp advice please
Well, I’d decided to bite the bullet and buy an AI doubleshot and that’s when I found out the sad news about Rick Jones. I have my fingers crossed for a secondhand double shot or upshot but as my creaking back can’t handle the ten2 anymore and my MarkBass 801 struggles against the horn section, I’m hoping that there might be something else out there that weighs around 15-20 lbs and delivers a clean sound. Maybe AER or Gallien Krueger? Any help gratefully received.
Try the brand new GR Bass AeroTech Full Carbon dedicated Combo, not cheap for sure, but lightweight at 8.8 kilos (hard to find lighter and so powerful).

There's also the Acus For Bass model, but it will be heavier at 13 kilos and a little cheaper.

And there's the Schertler Unico X at 16.8 kilos, but you'll have to rob the bank.
