Happy to be corrected here. My requirement for this has gone away, so I haven't kept up to date with what's available now.

watch out for used Phil Jones Double four, especially the earlier version with the external power supply as they can be run using a power pack, that's what I use for practice, 70w, sounds great, works with double bass: decent tone controls, passive and active in, very small, very portable can be used with a bluetooth dongle as a general music listening machine as it has an aux in; there was one for sale at BassDirect complete with powerpack and carrybag for less than £300 a few months ago, was only there for a couple of days as it was a great deal, the combos on their own often go for around £2-250 used

forgot to say it has headphone out too

 

and there's one listed in for sale for a barginous £185, nothing to do with me 😲🙃

this is exactly what i did from this forum ..picked up a good secondhand example at the mentioned price and it did not disappoint ...the perfect mini combo that can handle a low b at room volumes.
