The original premise was "carry it all in by yourself in one trip"......
Heh. I think some people take liberty with the meaning of the word "mini."
With or without using a cart?
Going to go for the Super Mini rig of Doom tomorrow night. My SWR Bass 750 on top of a Schroeder Mini 10+. 750w at 4Ohms. Should kill. I can't wait.
Call me lazy, even my Genz shuttle 6 12t combo goes on the Kart - even if its just from the living room to the trunk.
+1. Oh okay, lol. Yeah, I also own a cart, but I don't need it for my tiny mini amp of doom.
~ GK MB110 ~
Tiny: 14.5"H x 12.5"W x 11.5"D
Lightweight: 21 lbs.
Powerful: 100 Watts

Received a berg CN 1x12 yesterday to go with my cn2x12 and glock blue soul. The various combinations allow for a lot I different levels of doom, all manageable as the combined weight of the full stack(3x12) is under 85 lbs!

Is that what it's called? I googled it and I can't find it.. I need one of these....
Does a 100 watt combo really qualify as a `rig of doom`
Maybe not all of them, but the super tiny little GK MB110 kicks @$$ for its weight and size - its a "super mini amp of doom". http://www.talkbass.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=373445&d=1383949795
Yeah, the only doom to be had here is likely to occur in the voice coil of that $7 MCM 8" woofer (8 ohms 70w). Gets the job done in the bedroom though!

I have a Laney RB1 practice amp and for its size that kicks ass but its not a `mini rig of doom` I dont think a small combo counts as a `mini rig of doom`, in my view what should count is a small rig that is powerful enough to cover a wide variety of gig venues yet be very portable, a 100 watt combo amp is not sufficient in a rock band scenario, definitely a separate amp head and cab to qualify as a `rig`, of course this is a very tongue in cheek thread and all comments are the opinion of the poster .

Hmm. Okay, but both my little GK MB115 and MB110 combos do that - maybe you just need better musicians, like a drummer with good dynamic control. Just saying.

Guitards with smaller amps would be good, one guitard who we auditioned turned up with a large Marshall valve head and a 4x12, we dont play anything bigger than pubs and small clubs, I used to be the guitarist and managed with a Laney LC30 !
Perhaps you could start a new thread called `mini combos of doom` as a rig is a head and separate speaker cab in my understanding
