i was wondering if any of you could recommend me a bass amp that is fairly portable .. and rather light weight(if there is any)

its rather annoying trying to drag a 20W amp around going to friends places if we wanna have practice sessions

sometime in November. i'll probably post here when it comes in.

btw, the amPlugs can't really produce sound by themselves, you need to hook them up to a pair of earphones or speakers after plugging it into the bass.

yeah, it uses 2 AAA batteries. it even comes with batteries, so no need to buy beforehand.

I just bought Korg pandora PX5D from city music. it is pocket size can work as portable amp with earphones. Quite satisfied with it, can drum loop, pluck in ipod as aux, got about 70+ guitar effects and 20+ bass effects, got built in tuners, etc and much more. Google it for more of its capabilities. good buy imo. Cost me 230+ cos it was sales price. Not sure if its still on sales price though, but then again, can call city music to check
