Mini Rigs of Doom Four
- Thread starter Chef

These threads are cool. Think of all the comfortable backs and arms lugging this ergonomic, portable gear.
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
This rig weighs less than 50lbs and can easily be carried in one trip
hmm less than 50lbs... then this might still qualify. this has been my main rig for the past two years.
I can either carry bass head in a padded sandwich bag or in my iGiG case with cords, etc... leaving my hands free to carry the S15 which is pretty easy to schlep around.

I do have the EA Wizzy 10 as well but that's mainly for rehearsal and home.
Would it be reasonable to have the following specification rig to qualify for inclusion in this thread ?
Amp (minimum 500 watts, it does say `doom`
)
Single cabinet
Max combined weight of 50lbs and be able to be carried from vehicle to stage in one go with bass in a bag on the players back .

That's cool with me. My rig easily qualifies, including my laptop bag with essentials AND 600w amp AND 900w spare.
I can hand carry it but I don't have to... built-in dolly.

This started as an empty (except for tweeter...the same one they were puting in their bass cabs) Carvin Stagemate cab. A small, self powered P.A. cab that had a little mixing board in back.
I used a leftover crossover from an Aguilar GS112 and a piece of plexiglass I cut and painted black to cover the excess opening left by the mixing board. Had to order the top handle from Carvin. Also still has the pole mount on the bottom.
Lastly, the Eden 300 watt B&C 10" (8 ohm) that I got from a spare parts "pack rat" that I know.
Added some foam to the interior that seemed to really tighten up the sound. I got in a pinch and actually did a medium volume R'n'B gig with this and the whole band was pleasantly surprised (stage volume only as we had major PA support).
It's also great for living room band rehearsals as it's so easy to take anywhere.

Here is part of the puzzle:
22 lbs, 300W. Tomorrow the twin shows up. If I'm feeling mellow it gets the Puma 500. If I'm cranky, the Puma 900

Not real heavy.
I'd say in the 20-25 lb. range if I had to guess.
It's really easy to carry.

When I was Link Removed for BGM issue #7, I had a discussion with Hugh McDonald about his amp one, and we were both raving about this German mini mights. So, when Hugh decided that his amp one was just gathering dust at home, he offered it to me and I snatched it up. These little combos are just amazing, and sound much bigger and get much louder than you would expect.
Sorry about the quick cell phone pics, but hey, at least I have the right carpet!
