Has anyone seen these? A small, class D bass head by a small company called Overton. 2.1lbs, $239 + shipping, effects loop, 200 watts through 4 ohms.
Seems like if the EQ doesn't work well for guitar, at least there's a line/loop in so we can use a preamp of our liking. At the price, could even make a good, portable backup.
Here they are:
