lightweight portable amps and cabs or combos

Hi
If the Denmark st shop doesn't have the MB gear you can get a Central Line to Liverpool st and go to the Bass Centre (although i would check they have stock first).
Cab wise i have travelled on a tube with a MB 151P cab. its very small.
If you wanted to try out a MB LMII i have mine at work and im in Holborn.

EDIT: I would say hiring a car might be the best option. split a few ways it wont cost much and then maybe get something like an MAG combo. Ive used mine at loads of gigs without PA support but it depends on the type of music i guess.
whats the drummer going to do to get to the gig?

 

Nice one, you wont be sorry.
you might also find you end up taking the head to all your gigs and just using the cabs if any are supplied.

where are you gigging?

 

Mark Bass LMII!!

4ohm 15" cab
or
4ohm 2X10 cab

 

Ah yes, i know the place although i haven't been in there. Looks nice from the outside. I live just across the river but im gigging as well that night or else i would have popped in.

If you do DI in to the house PA remember that the XLR is post EQ unless you change a jumper over inside. Looking at the outside of the place i would think you wouldn't have to use the PA with your rig.

Have a good one.

 

I think there has been a lot of good ideas, markbass, Roland, GK.

I just want to put out there that I think if you are serious about bass you should get an amp. Going through the house can work most of the time, but I show up at clubs with all kinds of issues, no monitors, one monitor, the PA is down, the sound man is on Meth (literally). Even for just getting better and practicing at home having a combo amp is a good idea (How are you practicing know, headphone amp, unpluged?) And getting a combo amp does not meen you have to take it to every gig but an electric bass player without an amp is limited.

 

The OP is already sorted.

 

Cool, I missed that post, congrats.
