I have a great amp set-up for local gigs, I recently got a little Crate power block Head (4.5 lbs) for travel that is simple and cheap. I am really into keeping my travel gear cheap so it is not a nightmare when (not if) something happens to it.
I'd like something I can check or carry on. I am using a 7 string Ergo EUB, and I want something that can be quiet enough to work in an acoustic context, so a small speaker is ok. I'd like it under a few hundred$$.
I know it is a tall order but I know it is possible.

Shroeder do a 10" cab, but it might be a tad expensive for your needs. If you can get one, a Yamaha BBT110S is meant to be very good. I know a few people on the forums here have had some for sale recently, and all have reved about them. Trace Elliot also did a 10" extension cab, which I'm also using for practice, but it weighs in at around 30lbs! I think Epifani also do a 10" cab also.

I'm going to recommend a used Ampeg PB-110H as well. I have one and it's light (20 lbs) and actually sounds pretty good.

Another option would be the GK 112mbx extension cabinet. I played an AI Clarus through one and it didn't sound bad at all. And it's only 12 lbs. They go for about $280 new. Did I mention that it is only 12 lbs?

Actually it's not 12 lbs. I got one and was sure it wasn't and then weighed it. It's over 17.5 lbs. Check my thread here:
