Which is kind of where I'm at really, like you say, 22kg is hardly a behemoth, it is manageable, but shaving a few kilo's would be nice. Need to figure out how to get the grille off without damaging anything, and then maybe look at some Neodymium speakers. And as @neepheid was saying, the market place up here is a bit rubbish. For even a subtle divergence from the "run of the mill", I'd need to go to Glasgow at the least, and even further afield if I wanted to try anything "out of the ordinary". If the Rumble's pre-amp sounds a bit generic, then that's not really an issue, as I'm just plugging into the Effects Return anyway, and using the POD as the pre. Need to get some time with the FlyRig and get that dialled in. Been looking at the Barefaced One10 with their Activier amp, which according to their blurb is the equivalent to a 500w Class D. Thanks for the info folks. 👍

I think you've hit the nail on the head there, it's rich & sonorous because of the cedar top and the thin finish. Keep going like that, it'll only get better and better.

I'm actually kicking myself about missing out on the Bergantino IP310 powered cab that was in the marketplace the other week. Something like that would be ideal, plug the POD or the FlyRig in, and away you go.

It does seem to be a recurring theme for most music shops, especially those in the more "out of the way places", loads of electric and acoustic six string guitars, a handful of generic other instruments.

So I have a few quid sat in the bank, burning a hole in my proverbial pocket, don't need anymore basses, considered a new fx unit, but definitely have that covered as well, so the next thing is my amp. Currently have an Ashdown MAG 210 (badged as a Muzik Peroductiv AMP), but at 22kg, it's a bit heavy and a bit awkward to lug about... but it sounds great, even though I only use the power amp section. I've had a brief look on t'interweb, and there's a couple of amps that have caught my attention, the EBS Magni 502 is one that has really grabbed my attention, but it ain't cheap. One other is the Ashdown Original EVO 1x10 or 1x12, light, but would it be loud enough for a rock band? Another one to consider would be the trusty Fender Rumble 500... or just stick with what I have, but where's the fun in that?

Heard about this the other day, seems like another music shop has hit the wall, Kenny's Music, which has a few branches across Scotland. Had been into their Aberdeen and Glasgow branches through the years. They did have an online presence, but it looks like that's been taken off line.
