AARP-Amp ;-)

Looking for a really light weight amp for my electric bass. I have an Ampeg BA112 (39lbs) now and could use something even lighter (my wife says they should invent an "AARP-Amp" line!! LOL)
We play acoustic folk, rock and country....nothing too loud. I have never miked my amp thru the PA light the guitar players do now, thought with a smaller amp I could do that....
Suggestions anyone?
Thanks!
Happy Father's Day!

+1 ... and, if you really want to have some fun, add the 12lb extension cabinet .... lower lows, louder louds

Thanks! What do you think of the 8t? I found one, used for less than $500.....not usre it would be loud enough for a "medium sized bar"nsituation.

Best sound I've found in the least weight is the PJB Flightcase. It's 24lbs. The Genz Benz's are lighter but not quite as 'bass' sounding. Then there are the Acoustic Image combos and the EA Micro 300/Wizzy 10.
