How much does your head/rack weigh?

[vanselus]

i'm lugging:

Ag DB680
Ag Db728

in an SKB

Last time i checked it was pretty close to 100lbs. Not that big of a deal at this point, but in 20 years i'll be in a wheelchair, i'm sure.

 

[BIg O]

SWR 350............21 lbs
Alembic SF-2........6 lbs
SKB-XRack4.........8.3 lbs
FMR RNC1773.......2 lbs

Total: 37 lbs, plus surge protection power bar and cables...

AAK! I clicked on the 21-35lbs by mistake!

Alembic F-1X
QSC PLX 1602
SKB 4space
about 33 lbs.

Lightest head setup I've used. Unfortunately, my cabs are about 165lbs for the pair.

I thought mine was just simply "too much", but then I saw what others posted and I guess I can't complain at all. I haven't weighed it, but I believe my larger rig weighs about 60 lbs.

skb 4 space
swr IOD
carvin DCM1000
bellari tube compressor

i'd guess it's right around 55 lbs.

Amp is a Stewart 2.1 (just 17 lbs) and my six-space Roto Rack doesn't weigh much, but I also have four rack units (power supply, compressor, enhancer, preamp) at a few pounds each so I guessed 35-40 pounds.

My rack was about 75 lbs when I had an Alembic DB750, Alembic Sf-2, Korg DT-2 tuner, and Furman Power Supply in a 6 space SKB rack.

Way too heavy for what I'm doing now.

So, now I'm using my MESA Walkabout--13 lbs. My back is much happier. Nothing beats one trip load in, including 3 basses.

My SVT is very heavy! (According to my Roadie ).

Priceless.

All I know is a '73 SVT in an Anvil case at 3am when I'm piss drunk weighs about five hundred pounds. ...and the cab weighs 800. "Will haul for tone"

Yep, the weight of an SVT increases exponentially, directly proportional to one's blood alcohol level. This is also the case for THC.


I can prove this mathematically!

There comes the time when you just must put those groupies to work!

Some times you gotta haul what you gotta haul... it's all about your tone. Thirteen pounds. Heck, with my cab and bass I'm still under 70 lbs total!

My Walter Woods is 8lbs (in its case!!) and 1200 watts; I carry it into a gig with one hand and my bass in the other. You can't beat it.

My head weighs roughly 35-50 pounds.

My cab weighs about 60.

I was concerned when I gave up the Aggie for the MESA that I'd be giving up my tone for the convenience of the 13 lb MESA. I am very happy that it didn't turn out to be the case. I am happier with my tone now than I have ever been, and it's one trip load in--I still can't get over that.

 

[The Metroman]

Eden WT-400

15 lbs.

 

[bgavin]

I'm up to 84 pounds now, with the recent addition of a dbx 120a sub-synth. It was another 5 pounds, but WELL worth the extra weight.

 

[Wounded Paw]

Does anyone know the true weight of a 73 SVT head (while sober I mean)? I can personally attest to the 500 pounds at 3 am whilst pissed up.
