Double Bass 2 Input Bass Amp Head

There are dozens that have two inputs, but I'm not sure if there are any with XLR. The names that come to mind are Ampeg combos and Ashdown
Do you want two separate inputs, or one input with the ability of using a 1/4" jack or a XLR one?
The AER combo Basscube 2 has two XLR/jack input channels with phantom power and eq each:

The AI Coda SIII combo has two inputs which will accommodate either a 1/4" jack or 3-pin XLR. Corus+ and Clarus+ heads look to have the same type of dual input.

There are some new Markbass heads with two channels - or at least separate gain controls for each input:

I guess I have to chime in here. I think that the new EA doubler is the most versatile of the two channel amp heads. 550 watts rms. On the second channel xlr input with phantom power. Notch filter. Variable high pass. Phase control from 0 to 180 degrees. And it sounds equally good with electric or upright which I think really puts it ahead of the competition. There--I've said it. Oh, and it weighs 3 lbs.

Yes, I have it for three weeks now and already have used it a couple of gigs with different pickups and amps. Works great for me (but I haven't used for blending two pickups/microphones yet, just one at a time).
An alternative is a powered mixer.
Some are now available that are fairly light, Cheap, 15-20lbs, with huge amounts of power.
They have some built in feedback control.
They may have more features than most would use, but extra channels are always handy.

The drawback: if you use a "naked" piezo (without preamp), the input impedance usually won't high enough.
That's looking good too. I thought I heard there was no line out, but it looks like there is.
Still, the Markbass has similar features (though no notch filter or variable phase, but MB does have a tube/solid state blend and a more powerful version). I'd want to hear them side by side before making a decision.
