So here's a question for you all. Say all your gear just got stolen or destroyed in a fire. The only thing left is your six string bass that you play death metal, TOOL, Metallica, and RCHP covers on.
You decide to go 100% mini. Your insurance check is coming in because you thought ahead to insure all your gear.
What do you buy? What is the ultimate mini rig? You can't rely on PA support everywhere you go, and your drummer and guitarist are crazy aggressive and loud...
Do you go colorful pre-amp with a separate power amp? Do you go Fearful or LDS boutique on the cab side?
What would you all buy if you were absolutely starting from scratch in building your mini-rig of doom? Is the technology there where you could take a step towards the "Micro-rigs of doom"???? | I love my Aguilar Tone Hammer 500 so I would buy that and a couple 1x12 cabs. Don't care about brand on my cabs, they never last more than a few years anyway! |

One cab in each hand and the Shuttle over my shoulder. Loud enough to compete with drums and a Marshall full stack, but light and compact enough to easily load into my Mazda 3.  |

Excellent idea with the Bracket....

Low Down Sound 1x8 3 way, Acoustic Image Clarus 4 Series 2. Tiltback, built-in dolly. Off to the gig! 
Just put the combination together yesterday. Surprisingly loud, clean and clear. |

The standard Astro comes with lipstick tube pickups, but being a P-bass guy, I assembled a split reverse P style pickup & installed it in a P-90 cover. I tried a couple of other pickups in this bass first, but this pickup gives me that old school P-bass thump... Thanks.
These basses come with either a 29 7/8" scale vintage Dano influenced neck or a more modern shaped 31" scale neck (which is the one on the blue bass).

I started with huge amps in the '70s, moderately large ones in the '80s, smaller yet in the '90s. Now my usual gig for jazz clubs/lite jobbing gigs is: GK MB200 driving an Eminence BassLite CA2010 in a WinISD designed/home built box. The amp is 2+ lbs, the speaker around 19 lbs. Works well with fretted, fretless, and upright. Shown next to an early '90s era Carvin LB76. With upright, gig bag and speaker I'm in and out in one trip!
