Bass amp with two outputs?

Hello, new here and not knowledgeable about amps.
Can you recommend an amp or setup that has two outputs, one to the speaker and one to headphones for personal monitoring during a show? I am playing in an outside pit orchestra for a musical. This group does not wire the bass to a mix board but instead places several mics throughout the band. Thanks.

You can plug your amp into the input, and speaker and headphones into outputs.

Great choice - you are SO going to like that Combo and I think that you'll be surprised how well it works outdoors, too! That's the Combo I keep in my living room for practice, and it will shake the house...

Enjoy! :D

Hi WRM, that's a great review. Thanks for the vote of confidence. I can't wait to try it out and shake the house. Also really good to hear it does well outside, little nervous about that. Now I'm even more excited - thanks a lot for the reply.

Thank you Mick, another cool choice! I decided to go with a Fender Rumble and a small Behringer personal headphone amp. Very interesting looking at different options, I appreciate the reply.

Here's your homework assignment: which works / sounds better...the Rumble or Behringer headphone outputs? We love spending other people's money!!

I'm surprised this went untouched: playing a Kustom in a hospital lunchroom? What's the back-story? Is this along the line of fancier restaurants featuring pianists?

Hi Riis and good morning!
My goodies are supposed to ship out tomorrow morning so hopefully I can try them this week and report back on which sounds better.
As for the hospital, I'm playing in one of the units every weekend. For that, I'm on acoustic guitar with my little Kustom bass amp (probably not the right application, but it was all I could afford at the time) that I also use for bass practice.
We have a weekly sing-along, so I put together a book of about 40 songs - Beatles, Pink Floyd, Plain White T's, Chris Cornell, and so on. We have a lot of different ages so I try to include different decades.
