Micro rig!

[Chef]

Eric;
Neat rig! there's a wt500 highwayman on ebay right now...not mine...

Here she is: a 2001 GK 400RB-III running at 8 ohms (150 watts) into a 2005(ish) Low Down Sound neo 1x8 3-way.

The sound is tremendous for the size. The mids are very, very clear and accurate, and the low end is massive at low volumes (at high volumes, the low end diminishes somewhat). The tweeter is a bit harsh when it's full on, but from 25%-50%, the top is really balanced. I EQ the amp flat with the presence off, and the cabinet can take all the amp can dish out.

The cabinet weighs 20 pounds, 25 tops, and the head is 15. I have an old laptop bag that the head fits perfectly in, and the cabinet is a breeze to carry.

My only concern is that I'm GASing for a Focus or maybe a WT550 to replace the GK ... but that's down the line. For now, here she is in her 35 pound glory:

The small LDS cabs are very impressive, I've been known to get very loud with a 3 X 8. My current 2 X 10 UL is almost as loud as my old Eden 410 with my WT 550. Are you in Muskegon or Chicago? I get thru Muskegon every couple of months for business.

I'm in Muskegon until September. Feel free to drop on by, if you like - I'm always up for a cup of coffee with a TB'er.

Hello back! How's that rig sound with the 2 cabs? I haven't gigged mine as yet!

One of them is definetely loud enough with a decent drummer, two of them are louder than my old Ampeg Classic 4x10 - which was always loud enough at gigs against a drummer and a Marshall 4x12.

My rig is a bit absurd: if I use only one BBT110s, the Markbass delivers 500 W, if I use both cabinets, they get 380 Watt. I have a special cable that is switching the cabinets in series if both are used, 'cause the Markbass can not handle 2 Ohms.
In my living room, I can hardly touch the volume knob at all, if I don't want to become homeless soon...
The cabs are incredible for the money.

Two more for size reference: the first is with my modded fretless Jazz (the Plow), and the second is with my vintage Bassman 100 and LDS 2x12 / 2x6.

I want that bassman 100!!! Damn, and it looks so clean!
