Have you thought about the lightweight Cab option instead?
I use Zoot's and you can carry them in 1 hand. I actually have 2 x 112's and a 115, all of which are sooooo light. I can use them in any combination depending on the gig.
I tried the Line 6 and although it sounded really loud in the music shop, it didn't cut through in a live situation.
Using a MarkBass LMKII and the Zoot,s, I have never had a problem with either moving them or moving air.
Why not sign up to BassChat
http://basschat.co.uk/
and see what is available there.
There was a GenzBenz Combo For Sale recently for really cheap money annd IMHO that is in a different league to Line 6. Neo speaker and lightweight ply, crackin Combo.
Hope that helps.

cheers rumble..had a gander @ the zoot gear..look terrific but I dont think I have enough in the piggy bank., I could gig with my 300 ashdown combo but it still wieghs a ton..and the hartke is wicked for larger venues but takes some shiftin.. I need summat to gig the pub venues that wont break my back and there's just the 2 of us so i dont need summat to push a lot of air, I can DI through the PA if needed.Thanks for the suggestion, much appreciated and wasnt a make I was familiar with..now..is it a lucky dip or the birthdate of my kids???..lol
