Crossover box? and bass amp recommendation for a keyboard player

I'm a keyboard player, I have a B3 emulator (Hammond XK3) and I cover bass in the band. Unfortunately the XK3 doesn't have a way to route the manual bass to a separate output. I would like to split the lowend of this keyboard with a crossover box of some kind into a separate bass amp (not a subwoofer if I can help it) to take some load off my current amp. Is this a possibility?

 

When I'm not playing organ bass, I use my controller keyboard to play a Receptor (VST computer) with Trilogy installed. I use an electric bass sample mostly. I would like to send this signal to a bass amp as well. My current amp (Motion Sound KBR-3D) does have a surprising amount of lowend, so I don't need (or want) a large bass rig. What do you guys recommend for a small bass amp with two inputs and a line out? I was looking at the Line 6 LowDown Studio 110 for example although I don't think it has two inputs.

Ultimately what I want to do is separate all my keyboard sounds from all my bass sounds for a cleaner stage sound and to be able to give the sound guy one mono output for bass and a stereo output for keyboards.

Thanks. I found this for a crossover:

Small, only takes up half rack, and splits the lowend into a separate output. Should work for my needs unless I'm missing something.

 

Now for a good small bass amp recommendation? We don't play large clubs usually and there are PAs for that. I just need a good stage sound.
