Practice amp that fits on a motorcycle recommendations

This thread is great. You riders have good style. I used to ride in the 90's and one day gave it up. I had
Honda Interceptor 700, 750, and 1000. The 1000 was a 6 speed and insanely fast with 115 hp !!! Then a 1976 AMF Harley Sportster 1000, 1975 Honda CB750, and a maybe one or two I forgot about. I didn't own these at the same time. Riding is fun and the closest feeling to flying, I'd assume.

The new Fender amps are so light. Our two guitar players have the combo with the modeling etc and I think it weighs 27 lbs, but it's big. The GK combos are light and loud.

That's pretty cool that you two live near each other.

Excellent, I was hoping someone would chime in! What would you consider a good deal for the double four? (75 watt version)

Not sure on the D4 as I've never owned one... I paid under £300 UKP for my AG-100 and Thomann have the D4 for not much more but new with free shipping. I have a feeling I will add a D4 sooner or later.

If a local dealer has both the Rumble 40 and the Ampeg Rocket Bass RB-110, you might want to try them both. The Ampeg is a little bigger and heavier, though.

I've never tried one, what applications do you use it for beyond bedroom practice? Can it be used for a coffee shop gig or something lower volume?
My idea of the little combo was to have transportability, if I'm investing some real coin in the amp it would be great to hear how others use it.

I have a Rumble 25 for practice. It’s slightly smaller than the Rumble 40 at 15.5 x 15.5 x 11. Pretty sure it would keep up with a piano, but the Rumble 40 is actually a couple lbs lighter, which might be the bigger factor in this case.

Phil Jones has a Micro 7 that is basically a 15" cube less than 20# and 50 watts at $300.

The TC Electronic BAM200 is tiny and lives on my pedalboard
130 watts at 8 Ohms 200 watts at 4 Ohms. New less than $175.

An AI upshot runs around $250 Used.
The TC / AI system would likely fit in your bikes trunk.
