Mini Rigs of Doom Four

That wasn't directed at anyone in particular, just a generalization looking at some of the posts from the last few pages.

This thread does that.

One man's mini is another man's big, it would seem.
No 'worries' on my part, y'all are free to interpret this as you wish.

My current "mini-rig" is one TC115AF, and a GK MB Fusion.
Head and cables and charts on my bass bag, cab in one hand, I'm pretty much ready for any gig, regardless of SPL requirements.
 
I dont think I'd call it a mini rig of doom,but when my beloved Fender BXR 25 finally crapped out, I removed the engine, added a speaker jack to the cab, and dropped in a Hemi.

The little stock 10" speaker really surprised me with the added wattage. It sounds much bigger with the increase in headroom.

Sorry Chef, but this is about as mini as it gets for me. ;)
 
Hey Chef, I'm not particularly well-versed in the GK or Audio Kenesis realm, but when it comes to transporting your mRoD in one trip, do you have a gig bag that accommodates your head? For instance, I have a MB LMII and I'm not sure, but besides the overpriced (in my opinion) Markbass gig bag, do you have any suggestions making the load more, not necessarily mini, but more comfortable load?

Best regards,

B

Laptop bag from a thrift store is cheap and works well with lots of areas to store stuff. Sling it over your shoulder and go.
 
I use a lap top, backpack. Everything I need, except my bass and cab fits in here, including my amp, stand, tuner & cords, spare battery, extra instrument cord, tools, charts and drink. A grab and go solution. Bass in one hand, cab in the other and the pack on my back.

This pack, an "Ogio" works really well with LOTS of compartments. "A place for everything and everything in its place."
 
this rig qualifies for sure ! :)

I am not sure how big or small a rig needs to be to qualify for this thread ;), is it based on portability or how much power can be crammed into a small package, then this rig surely kills :bassist::D
This rig weighs less than 50lbs and can easily be carried in one trip ;)
