She didn't get out much, I guess.

| | | | Wussies- schlepping heavy gear keeps you young. Just dont over do it and always lift correctly. Going all light will make a milktoast out of you and actually make you more likely to hurt yourself. When did everybody get so wimpy? Besides, light rigs sound light and heavy rigs sound heavy. Unless you want to just fool yourself. All of this is my humble opinion of course. Next? |

| | | | Now youre talking. On a serious note- my GKs top out at little more than 20 lbs.
I dont suppose that qualifies as micro but theyre light as pancakes compared to the SVT. Question: is the core idea behind micro so that one can carry bass, cab, head and accessories all in one trip up 4 flights of stairs?
Remember my sarcasm meter is peaking.

Remember my sarcasm meter is peaking. | Honestly weight isn't the issue. My gig requires so much support equipment, that space in my Honda Element is at a premium.

Remember my sarcasm meter is peaking. | Basically. Also good for when stage space is at a premium. And some of them do sound quite good and can fill a room. Sure they're not SVT's, but they go up to the 4th floor on a gambling ship a lot easier. Not a bad idea to have a small rig with some power for such occasions if you work a lot.

Smaller with equivalent volume and tone cannot be emphasized enough. The "look" is a terrible excuse for any music equipment, if its the only excuse.
Still everybody has their thing. If you can rock it, rock it. |
