Scott's link reveals some interesting terminology;
Specs say "Powered = No" but then say "Power Configuration = Bi-amp".
Weird
They say Passive in the name but then say "Huge power to weight ratio for a powerful yet easily transportable PA" in the features list.
hmm

John, If what you are looking for is a small amp that you can easily transport, has full range, reasonably priced, and you can play your bass through, I would second Mac's suggestion of trying one of the Cube amps. I play in a 17 piece swing band and that is what our electric bass player brings to rehearsal a Roland 60 Cube amp. (The older model with orange tolex that didn't have the big plastic bumpers). It is plenty loud, in fact when we play the hall with the "band shell" that is the amp he brings. Also, I play in acoustic jams held in various community halls and that amp is used there as well. He paid about $120.00 for his second hand and it was a good choice. Just roll a bit of the bottom end off for a nice tight sound. If the volume seems low try setting up in a corner of the room if possible. Hope this helps. DennisD

For his particular need (just jamming in a room with friends on acoustics) I still think the micro would fit.. Sure the full Cube would be better, but maybe overkill for his needs

Scott the B212XL is passive (not powered).
Sure enough - sorry about that John!

I keep several of the smaller "student" or "entry" level amps around for the casual get-together of friends with electric/electronic instruments. Most were obtained via Thrift shops, Garage Sales and the like, a couple were resurrected from the dead by yours truly after someone managed to do something catastrophic to the little things, such as blowing outputs or the power supply. Crates and little Peaveys mostly. One little Peavey is suppposed to be a beginner's Bass amp and works well with plank basses and even keyboards for this purpose. None break the bank, keep your eyes open for deals. After having to move from the big house to the apartment, these little things do the job well enough -- and make it a lot harder for me and my rowdy friends to break the lease on a Saturday night. Another of the little Peavey amps, a guitar amp with one XLR mic input and an 8" speaker, also has provision for an internal 7AH lead acid gelcell battery. The little Crates are rather good sounding guitar amps as well, for the money and small size.
You don't always have to buy new equipment to have fun and get the job done...

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option
Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!
Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!
For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.
Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
