I just hooked up with a band that plays and practices an hour from my house, and my Mesa 2x12 is too heavy to lug around with my surgically repaired back. We play with in ears, and the cab isn't essential for filling the room or stage. I just need something small and light to warm up with and fine tune my sound before the system is on. I would love something with a horn or tweeter so I can fine tune my pedals before going into the system. I don't care about the brand. I just need something small and light that can handle extended range basses. Thanks.

It sounds to me like what would serve you well is something that gives a good representation of what you could expect, tonally, from a good PA system. Is that correct?
