I saw these at 2015 NAMM and was impressed
This might be good for amplification of the GR-55 / VG-99 / FTP Synth 


Works as USB Audio interface, Ipad TRRS connection, Stereo Bluetooth speaker , Stereo Line In /Out, Stereo external speaker outputs  too.

OVERVIEW   
Straight out of the box, B-Social delivers signature Ashdown bass tone via a powerful 75W stereo amplifier and two custom dual concentric 5" drivers, specifically designed to deliver punchy low-end in the most compact enclosure. Unlocking further tonal possibilities, the App-Tek socket allows players to access the ever-growing range of amp sim and effects apps available on Smartphones and devices, including Ashdown's very own ABM Pre App.

Wireless
Allowing the bassist to roam at home, B-Social features wireless audio connectivity and a transmitter that lets the bass connect wirelessly to the amp for cable free jamming.

Wireless audio connectivity also enables audio streaming from any compatible music player. Adding a new social dimension to the amp, the B-Social includes a second input so the bassist can play along with another bass player or guitarist - electric or acoustic.

Recording
Recording itself is made simple via the built-in USB audio interface, compatible with all major DAWs on both PC and Mac platforms. The unit features a speaker mute switch for headphone monitoring.

Connectivity
Rounding out the feature set is a Line In, Line Out and a Headphone Out for silent practice. B-Social is available in three stunning high gloss wood finishes - Natural, Black and White.

Manual

Has two inputs, bluetooth and built in wireless instrument connectivity. Supposedly also good with acoustic guitar or as a standalone Bluetooth speaker. It also has cabinet outputs and I saw a video where they used this as a head with a 1x15 cab.
