Replace my Eden rig with a "small" combo?

I affirm bassteban's rig- I also am using the Eden CXC-110 and CX-110 extension- it's a nice modular setup, and sounds terrific in a variety of small to medium sized venues in a mix of soft to loud bands.

What about the new Acoustic Image Combos?

For what it's worth, and maybe it's worth nothing, I've had better luck with cabs/amps/preamps than combos. Especially if you're doubling, it's a more versatile deal and IMHO usually ends up being lighter. I have an AI focus SA and if I use the fishman pro-eq, or a sansamp paradriver as a preamp, the whole deal fits easily in the pockets of my winter coat! I have an epifani 1x10 that sounds great with upright, and it weighs nothing, so even if I use an avalon u5 as a preamp, which is what I usually do, I can put the whole amp rig in a shoulder bag, bass in one hand, cab in the other, and if I'm lucky it's one easy trip. If I have a louder electric bass gig I add a second cab.

The disadvantage is you have to assemble the thing--power cables, input cable, speaker cable(s) instrument cable. It's a relativley minor disadvantage though.

This rig would not be for electric at all for me. Just URB when size really does matter. The smaller the better.
