It is kinda small in size - but by no means is it light. This amp is a feeling old thing, I had a 150b in the 70's and found this one and had to have it.
Yes the bass is great but again it is as old as I am.
thanks

Yeah - ever time I thinks about selling - I remember this little rig I built and the sound is great. That G.A.S. sickness needed to find a cure.
I guess I will be 100% pleased when I end up under the dirt.

Is that like the ummmm 900 pound gorilla in the room?
Yeah, I know, right? I love that everyone is keeping it fun and showing their smallish rigs on here. Once upon I time I remember seeing someone say that you must be able to carry the whole shooting match into the venue in one trip to truly be a MROD. However, the way I see it, if your rig is shorter than your bass sitting in a standard guitar floor stand, and less than 2x as wide, it qualifies.

Agreed. This isn't an official club, I believe. If it is, I missed it. I enjoy seeing all the creative ways that people are using to make their rigs smaller.
Once we start placing too many rules on a thread, it's no longer fun and candid sharing. It becomes sniping and conflict over definitions.
I just want to see everyone continue to have fun with this!
It's definitely fun seeing all the solutions that people can come up with to make life easier.
Hear here! I'm working on a solution myself. I would like a couple 10" cabs, or maybe at the very largest, 12" cabs. There are some very cool home-builts on this thread. People are creative!
This rig is in storage for the time being and I can't recall if I posted it here. It's not exactly "Mini" although it has a mini component. But, maybe it qualifies as to how "creative" solutions are made to make life easier. The bottom 15" is a neodymium cab. The top 2x10" is made of a Laney combo that had its amp part die. It has roller wheels at one end and nice handles. I am still working on attaching the TH500 better in its space.

I really love a pair of these with my Ampeg PF 20 T:
Only thing is, they are 4 ohm. So I'm thinking of building them with an 8 ohm speaker each.

What model is that?
That's a Yamaha BBT110 - a discontinued model. They are fairly heavy for their size, but that ads to the deepness of the sound; Like the Eden D210 cabs. Also front vented, giving greater lows than closed cabs.
Version 3: Less Mini, More Doom.
This is gorgeous. How do you like the cabs? I see one 112 and one 115. I probably would have gone 2 x 12's. Does this live up to your expectatoins?
Yes. The 112 and 115 compliment each other really well to the point where something always seems missing when I just use one of them. The 15 fills the room while the 12 brings in a lot of detail. Combined with the Mesa D800 I've done coffee shops up to medium sized bars with no issues. Anything bigger and I'm DI'd, at which point it's a pretty sweet personal monitor.
Thus far they seem to compliment the Strategy.... there's a lot of consistency in tone between the Strategy and the D800 so I don't think it'll be an issue.
They are 12s. I would say that the Walkabout Scout dimensions of 20 1/4" H x 16 1/2" W x 15" D (40 1/2" H stacked) is pretty "small in footprint". Running @ 2ohms is aprox 500 watts and "large in sound". And at 51lbs for the combo and 38lbs for the extension cab that's 89lbs total. Also, I can walk into any club with one in each hand.
Translation?

Legit!!! I had the same exact stack; just sold it all two weeks ago. Heavy as hell, but small nonetheless.
