I Need A Mini Rig..

[dave_bass5]

for the sake of price and availability on the used market... if you can afford the light one that would be an option, i was just trying to present some inexpensive alternatives. you could find a used light one, might just take some more digging...

Ah right. thought so.
Thanks

Well i decided on a cab, i went to guitar center today and they really didn't have anything in my price range. So the guy who i usually deals with asks me what i'm looking for i told him either a 2x10 or 2x12 and told him i only want to spend a max of 400. So he takes this mesa boogie 2x10 powerhouse and rips of the tag that said 599 and tells me 400 right?

So i ended up with a Mesa Boogie Powerhouse 2x10 8 Ohm. I believe it's the previous model to the newest one (no speakon, crossover or horn protection) but it does have the High Attenuator.

If I were to do a mini rig it would be a Schroeder 12+ Light and Eden WTX-260. Under 30 pounds and could definitely keep up with things much larger.

Oh yeah and I've had my relatively-mini rig for about a year now, Schroeder 1212 and ThunderFunk 420, scored for a bit over 4 figures thanks to the used market. Love it.

I'm not really doing a minirig for weight..im a young 20 year old stud ;-p

the powerhouse isn't very heavy at all and it's got the right dimensions so i can put it in either my trunk or backseat.

I see no reason why you should get rid of you GK head. They are great heads and sound great. However, get it out of that huge rack. Also, 2x112 cabs are very portable and are plenty loud. GK makes a good neo 112 cab that you could buy to match your head. I bet that would sound great!

This seems like the solution to me.

SAVE THE HEAD
IF YOU LIKE THE SOUND OF 12'S LOOK FOR SOME USE AVATARS(500 WATT)
I AM USING THE SAME HEAD WITH AN AVATAR SB112(4 OHM)
THIS RIG FITS IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY HYUNDAI, AND IS
LOUD ENOUGH FOR ALL THE GIGS I'M DOING.
YOU CAN ALSO GO WITH 2 8 OHM CABS

GOOD LUCK!!

I consider this my mini-rig. A Kustom Groove 1200 head which can go from 8 ohms down to 2 ohms hooked to a DRBASS 212, 4 ohm, 600 watt cab. I had Mark Serio at DRBASS paint the baffle board bright gold. This little rig kicks major booty, small or large rooms, it can handle most anything.

Schroeder 1210 or 1212 with your current head should work well. Where are you going to put your bass in the car?

 

[Embryodead]

bass is easy to fit anywhere in my car, i was having problems with just the width and height of my cab

I think a lot of you guys are replying without reading the thread. :scowl:

Good score on the Mesa cab!

cool. did you decide to keep the gk? it's a great amp. seriously, if you keep it, get it out of that huge rack... it looks so lonesome in there

how do the mesa and gk sound together?

 

[Embryodead]

Yes i decided to keep the GK, i sold the rack and power conditioner today through craigslist and got 80 for the set (which isn't bad seeing as the grundorf was missing a cover)

I played my GK through the Mesa at GC it was very loud and punchy got really good tone overall. It's on layaway right now i'm waiting for the gentlemen that called me about my Eden to come get it on Saturday (older fellow wants the nice lightweight Eden)

So here is picture one of step 1: Getting rid of the rack...and cleaning my room.

Step 3 Get My Mesa Boogie:

I want to thank everyone who gave me advice, this cab actually sounds a lot better than the old Eden.

Ditching the rack was a good thing! That thing has to weight a ton. No mini-rig can have a rack that large!

Nice looking rig man, Mesa 210's kick major ass for a mini-rock rig.

What would be a good asking price for a excellent Condition Eden N410P @ 4 Ohms?

you wont get more than 10 dollars for it, but ill give you 15 since you seem to be a nice guy and this is talkbass and everything.
