Pignose Amps?

I just bought an acoustic/electric bass, and I am looking at a getting a little rechargable Pignose amp so I can be mobile with it. Anybody have one of these that they play a bass through?

The 30W unit has an 8" speaker, the 20W has a 6.5". Online, it says that each holds a charge for about the same time, so I guess the battery is bigger in the 30W unit.

There is also a smaller unit that's only about $79. The "original" Pignose I think. Not sure about that one.

All opinions appreciated.

Thanks

I've had both, and prefer the hog(30w) for bass.

I also own the 30w hog. Not bad at all.
A guitar sounds good through it also, in a pinch.
I've never tested to see how long the battery would last.
And I hardly use it any more.

I saw a small clip with John Kay last night on ABC. On wall behind him was his signature 381JK. On his right was a small Pignose sitting atop a Rivera amp.
