uhhh maybe funny? humor?

[Chef]

Funny story, sure.
M-ROD: not so much.

Whichever; it's not my thread.

Many of these rigs seem contrapuntal to the point of the thread, by my very devalued .02

Carry on.

I then squat down and attempt to lift the 78 pound Bag End 2x12 with both of my arms, and fall backwards onto the vocal monitor, rupturing my spleen. The 15 tumbles into the front row and crushes a pintglass someone had left there. I get up, screaming in pain, and re-gigbag, re-15 on head, and cut my foot on broken glass. I slowly climb back onto the stage and manage to lift the 2x12 without incident until I climb/fall down the stairs. I'm now in the hospital.

OK, that IS funny!

How about requiring people to post a pic of themselves carrying their rig?

(I just want to see a guy trying to balance a 1x15 on his head...)

[Downunderwonder]

Any pair of neo 12's, a bass over the shoulder, some pedals and any old toroidal supply SS amp in backpack, too easy.

Oh, and nice rig!

Thanks! Here's the final version of the "I can actually carry all of this in one trip no matter how long the walk from the car to the gig is" rig pic. I've added an ampwedge since the Focus doesn't hae a kickback stand on it. I bought one for my guitar player for his birthday and liked it so much I got one for myself.

The picture also includes my new-to-me Dargie 5SHp Bongo and my new-to-me Hofner Icon Beatle Bass. It's been a fun month.




FWIW, I think anyone posting anything that requires a dolly or wheels is not posting a mini rig. It's like going into a "Show your 4 string bass" thread and posting a 7 string and saying "well, there are four strings on this bass..."

The mrod is not beside the tribby, it's BEHIND the tribby...

I think my rig qualifies as a `mini rig of doom`

I think the silver cloth and black of the cab matches the amp and MIM P nicely

^ DAAAAAAAAAMN! That is one sexy rig.

Yes it is! I'd love to see some better (closer) pics of the paint job on that bass, too, but from what I can see here, it's freaking gorgeous.

That story makes me want to make my rig mini.

My Mini Rig-O-Doom dropped at GC today, but I have a crisis at work (which in involves a lot of waiting for other people to do their tasks) so I can't go pick it up tonight. It's a Markbass NY121 cab, to expand my CMD 121P combo.

I know what you're thinking: that's a mini rig all right, but where's the doom?

The CMD 121P has been upgraded with a Markbass Tube 800 head, that's where it is! I'll post pics of my 800W 2x12 I can carry in two hands this weekend.

On the right, Ampeg BA112 (top) with line out to Peavey DCP1000 (middle)-> Avatar C15 (bottom). Sound surpirsingly good for such a hodge-podge.

I'm really diggin my new DB210 and MB800 set-up. Small and easy with thunder included!

They are 'super' because they handle a ton of power (not only thermally... i.e., the traditional cabinet power rating, but also 'mechanically'... they won't fart out until you push them to stupid levels). So, one of these little 12's gives you 210+ volume with much more true low end, and a more even, present midrange response.

Audio Kenesis ThunderChild 112 (TC112) under a Markbass F500, with one of the most amazing Alleva Coppolo LM5's ever made sitting next to it, which I may just have to kidnap from Ken someday when he looks the other way at a gig.

I also had a Promethean but I sent it back...

Can you tell me a bit about what you like and dislike about the Carvin. I've been looking at the 15" version for a couple of days now and would love some first-hand input. I'm looking for a combo that is versatile. Something small enough to lug around easily, with a DI for my church's system, and a speaker out for my 4x10 cabinet. Oh, and the built in compressor intrigues me, too. These seem to be ideal for my needs....but as an owner, what's your take on the amp?

[Zapp]

awesome! thankx
