Cheap head cab bass amp under 10 kilograms

You may find one used but it is going to be hard and to find one new will be next to impossible. I will take gigable as at least 200 Watts. For weight you are looking at a Class D. New you are already over $200. It is going to be hard to find a gigable cabinet that weighs under 10kg period. The lightest cabinets use neo magnet speakers which are more expensive. I think if you tripled your budget and added 50% to the weight you should be able to find something.
 
Rumble 100 is ~10kg and I got mine for $200 used. I've gigged it, though it was lo volume and/or PA support situations. Might work if you need something NOW- but I doubt it'll be your last amp.

Generally my benchmark for "all purpose" gigging is ~500w and 2x 10s. Rumble 500 is a great budget-conscious choice- but ~18 kg, and I see them for $4-500 used.

And these are combos, typically cheaper than their head/cab counterparts.
