Mini Rigs of Doom Four

[Krigg]

I think that dual Barefaced Midget and a Genz Benz Streamliner 900 would be pretty ideal for a mini rig of doom. 900w of power with two sensitive cabs for only 46,5lbs!

Near perfect: Studio sound on stage.
(Sold my AI Focus, Schroeder 1212, GB Streamliner 900 and Epifani's 112 for these don't even come close.)

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh, sounds great. Thanks!

I've played Streamliner 900 through Schroeder 1212 light (800 watt, 43 lbs and 103 db SPL!) for years and that's full stack sound in a micro package!

Got it! DOOM = music I need not purchase. But I can see/hear it would take a pretty powerful rig to pull off.

Yes, sir.

Doom is like a slow motion tractor pull.

Precisely. Pedantics. More genre splitting semantics of music types that I have absolutely no interest in.

Small but awesome bass rigs OH YES!

posted, but never with the full stack.
still one comfortable trip with my bass on my back.

Maybe I 'm wrong , but always thought the rig of doom moniker was kind of a reference to Jaco's bass of doom . He played a lot of different flavors , but none I would associate with Doom Metal.

Basically means , in my opinion, just a kickin ' rig with a small footprint and light weight. Like my Jeff Berlin combo with NY 151 extension cab, for example.

That is kinda where I am at - i have never once associated the word DOOM with a genre.

I play pop!

I think Doom and DOOM are different things.

Doom and Doomer???

Mini-Rig of Doom? It helps to define mini… to me it’s simply finding a way of sizing down your full show rig to a manageable ½ size rig that allows you to travel to remote shows easily without losing the comfort and tone that you demand from your full size rig.

My "mini rig of doom" makes for a 6 min. set-up – simply throw my cab mic up & blend with the Overtōn DI out and the tone is outstanding. (I use a little 2 chanel mixer onstage to blend the two signals so the sound guy can’t screw me&#8230

For me – this has finally fit the bill with the following gear. It’s also great that since I’ve picked up my Traynor 8x8” cab for use with my YBA200-2 rig that I now can keep this little monster loaded up in its own road case (with a slot for sliding the floorboard into) and just strap it down to a furniture dolly for load in/out.

Based around the FANTASTIC little Overtōn Flyweight 200 head, the only caveat I found was the lacking of that little bit of tube “growl” not present in solid-state gear. This was fixed with The ART Studio V3 tube pre-amp mounted to the floorboard. Another bonus of the unit: when wired into the effects-loop adds a bit of gain & theV3 has a great “Veri-tone” that gives a ton of great voicings at the turn of a knob without worrying about volume changes or screwing around with the EQ on the head.

While certainly not a “micro-rig”, this for me makes the best of both world’s. Big fat tone without breaking backs or hogging a ton of space on a small stage.

And did I mention… Makes my MTD’s SING!!!!!!!

Total Investment (got the Wizard Custom Cab used for a steal) = $1200.00. Sound and portability = Priceless.

Ashdown rig is finally put together;

Pretty nice sounding unit. The Mibass 220 and two VS112 cabs. The only problem I have with it is the top handles on the cabs are too tall. That's why the head is sitting on its case. The handles also prevent the cabinets from being stacked normally. Right now I have a couple of shims under the feet of the top cabinet, but I'm going to put taller feet on one of the cabs sooner or later. Not super loud but I don't need it to be.

EA i-amp Doubler, barefaced midget 112 and mojo sonic 110. Super small and super light. Along with my custom Mailloux and my new fav u-bass

Thanks!

Thanks!

Here's some interesting feet that could decouple a cab from the floor: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Might be useful for some cabs.
