Mini Rigs of Doom Four

[LennyJ]

The J2 returns--it's how we met.

Les - What is really funny - I sold to a guy in NY - then he sold and I sold one more time. Then I get it back from the him in FL. And it has went from GA to NY then to FL and now back to GA.

Should have kept the thing to begin with. A while back the Delta was changed with the Delta Lite - what a better driver.

Yeap - this J2 created a life long friendship with "NUTDOG". I sold this J2 first to him, then bought it back - friends since.

You're not getting my bud light, Lenny.

A pair of Mini Rigs of Doom! I can use the 1x10 with the 1x8 combo and still have an easy one trip load in.

Just got it so still getting familiar with it, but so far so good! It doesn’t sound too different from the head/cab combo

OK, playing a bit more and comparing the two, with the settings identical, the 1x8 seems to have a little more push in the low mids.

Im really tempted to try one of those little guys. my one10 barely fits in my bike basket

I've been spending some time with the 1x10 Elf Combo, and man, that thing is growing on me!

I went with the 1x8 and, likewise. Did a gig with the 1x8 and 1x10 cab and was pleasantly surprised.

Small cabs with small drivers are getting really good! If you had told me 10 years ago that I would be playing metal through a 36 lbs 2x10 700W cabinet up against a live drummer and several guitar cabinets, I wouldn't have believed you.

Just wish it had an Aux line in.

i wouldnt take it too far like that but for down to the buddies house, its rather sporting!

OK. something a little different for you all. its not mini, its TEENY. and it may not particularly be ‘of doom’ but don’t look at it sideways either, because, as I’m sure you’ll all agree… its a BRUTE!
This one is, i believe, the smallest relative of the Brute family with a 10” speaker stuffed into a sealed box measuring about 10x13x13!
Certainly no earth shattering lows can be expected from such a contraption, but instead, a rather authoritative mid-range BARK emanates from its diminutive stature, powered by its 90 WATT solid state amplifier.
made in North Hollywood, Ca in the late 70’s/ early 80’s. This one was probably meant more for guitar, but it and its 12” and 15” older brothers (the “Mini Brutes”) were used by many a bass slinger, particularly upright jazzers. I use it as my desktop amplifier, but i wouldn’t hesitate to take it out to the right café or garage jam. But be careful, It’s an ankle biter for sure!

My ELF 1x8/1x10 stack out in the wild:

I was told I was too boomy, so I guess that's kinda doomy. The 1x10 has a lot going on in the low kids, so I tend to roll the bass back a bit to compensate.

Quilter BB800 with GR Bass Aerotech 212 Slim cabinet. Very lightweight but powerful: 800 watts and 32 lbs. Much more powerful and compact than the olde Peavey I had to play thru at the studio. I can carry my bass with case, the cabinet and amp in a gig bag all in one trip.
