Completely pointless trivia ahead.

How much does your average gigging gear weigh? So if you've got 6 cabs, 3 heads and 9 basses. just the 1 head two cabs and 3 basses you bring to the gig, or whatever it is you bring!!

(excluding synth units, keyboards etc. just bass =) )

Mine two warwick cabs, ampeg svt3, warwick 5 string vette jazzman

184.75 lbs, thats 13.24 stone for us brits!
 
NV610 - 98 lbs
SVT-VR - 85 lbs
Gig bag with pedals, cables etc - 15 lbs
Wal MkI - haven't weighed it, but I'd guess at least 15 in the case, 12 out of it, 35 by then end of rehearsal/show...

213 lbs in... 233 lbs out... :eyebrow:
 
3- EV Twin 15's 125 each
1- 18" cab 145
3 amps in rack w/preamp, crossovers, compressor, graphic eq etc. 175.

Total = 695 pounds.

The good part is it never leaves my basement. ;)
 
Ampeg BXT210 x 2- 60 x 2 -- 120 lbs
Rack w/ Preamp - 50 lbs
Rack w/PowerAmp - 30 lbs
Bass in gigbag - 10 lbs
Mixer for PA - 25 lbs
FX Unit w/ case - 30 lbs
JBL 12" PA Speakers - 40 x 2 -- 80 lbs
random assortments of cable - 30 lbs

Total -- 375 lbs. Only difference between practices and shows would be that at practice I would only have 1 bass cab and 1 pa speaker.
