Not a bassist
Hello beautiful people.
I need a bass combo for a small stage at the bar I'm managing.
I already have a Ampeg head with a 4x10 cab, but this can be too much at times.
I'd like something that bassist would rather use than e bigg-ass ampeg.

Prise is not too much of an issue.
Thank you
 
Welcome to TB!
It would help to steer you in the right direction if we knew at least what continent you’re on.
Fender Rumble combos are very popular now.
Ampeg just introduced a new Rocket Bass series that is also very attractive.
If you’re in the UK or EU, Ashdown Studio combos get a nod, and Markbass is popular.

What Ampeg head do you have? Is it a monstrous tube lead-sled, solid state, or class D unit? If it's solid state or class D, it should be too hard to carry around, right? Also, are you happy with the tone/sound of the amp, or are you trying to get away from that/find something else altogether?

What about just getting a nice 210 cab and using the same head? Is your 410 an 8 ohm or 4 ohm cab?

If it's an 8 ohm 410, then you can pick a complementary 8 ohm 210 and have the flexibility of also running a 610 stack!

The Ampeg PF210HE looks like a great option. 450w and 48 lbs. It's not one of the lightweight neo options, but also not priced as such, Lol!

Also, the GK CX line offers some great options with lower weights and low pricing. Their 210 is 38 lbs and $390 USD.

Do you have a budget range?

I apologize if these aren't available where you live.
