Mini Rigs of Doom Four
- Thread starter Chef
- Start date
While in terms of overall height it's not all that mini, it is doable in one trip, and the amp weighs total less than 60lbs! Not the loudest head (and certainly not in this thread!), but at 200w, i've never had an issue being too quiet
One more reason for me to get that second cab.
Now I want a Walkabout. I think the bass combo is dying and I want to have one of the last quality ones.

This little setup is doom for days. Puma900 into a pair of vl110s is making me very happy these days. And without the pedalboard it's one trip from the car!

VL110 cabs rule. I'm having a little trouble finding the right mini to go with them. Trying to decide if either an MB800 a Shuttlemax 9.2 might be the right direction.

I'm really impressed with the puma900 with the vl cabs, and the LMII isn't too shabby sounding either through them
between those heads, I'd guess that the Shuttlemax 9.2 would be a much better match up than the GK.
A visit to his profile (which you can do by clicking on his ID then the link for View Public Profile) reveals:
Current Setup:
Basses:
- Rob Allen Custom Deep 4
- Rob Allen Custom MB-2
- Rob Allen Custom Solid 4
- '66 Guild Starfire I
Amps:
- Acoustic Image Clarus Series 4
- Euphonic Audio iAMP550 Micro
Cabs:
- Acme Low B-1 Series III
- Greenboy-BarryAudio Crazy8
- Greenboy-BarryAudio Crazy88 (x2)
The bass is not obvious, but it's a Rob Allen Custom MB-2 (most MB-2s don't have an F hole or a visible pickup as there's one in the bridge).
The cabinets (since there are two of them) are easier!
Here's a question for micro-head users: do any of you use velcro or anything to secure the amp to the top of your cab? I'd be paranoid about tripping over my cable and pulling the head off the cab and onto the floor.
I have used velcro as well as making holes in the top of the cab for the amp feet to set in. You can use 3/4" closet door handles to fill the holes. Helps the head from sliding around.
