Not tried the Ampeg, but my downsizing fairly recently, but before the price hike, was to a MarkBass CMD121H to which I have added an Epifani 12 recently which is great. Weighs next to nothing but really kicks out a good sound (and lots of it).

The combo on its own is plenty loud enough for rehearsals.

But of course all that is IMO and I am sure others will be along with other suggestions.

With neo speakers and D class (I think that's what they are called) amps there are loads of really good, loud & light rigs around for bass players nowadays
