I guess it is becoming one of the standard TB rigs, but I too have the LMII + 2 x Berg112. Great sounding combo. Puts out much more air than you would ever think. Very full sounding. I have no plans to change anything for a while.

Bass Law:
"Mini rigs" should be shorter than your bass. "of DOOM" should be louder than you'll ever need it to be while sounding like the voice of GOD!.
Mini should also mean you can carry your rig in one trip with your bass in a gig bag, without having to use a hand truck.
SVT3 Pro + Yamaha 1x10 cab. Sounds better than any small combo I've ever played through. Its great for practice and for small gigs. If I'm going direct to the PA I'll leave it on the stand so I can hear it better. BTW the Yammy is a KILLER cab, I was blown away the first time I cranked it.

Did you try it with the BBT500 head? Just curious as to how it sounds compared to your SVT.
I did briefly own a BBT500. Sounds great, but I could never get over the always present hiss. Also I'm putting 450watts into the 1x10 as opposed to 250watts, so the low end is fuller with the SVT3.

This is a mini as I care to go for my gigs. By far the most colorful rig I've had. Kicks mucho ass so the doom factor's definitely there 
For the last minute jam or possible acoustic (abg) gig down the road, I just use the backup head & one 112. Very potent as well.

Its a great combination I love how clear chords sound through this set up.This cab is an older model I dont believe they make anymore.
This is the first time I've been happy with my sound in a while. The Schroeder just arrived today. LOVE IT

OK well that disqualifies about 3/4's of the rigs in this thread. Namely the ones that aren't combo amps unless you want to balance the amp on top of the cab while carrying it with one hand. And if we are allowing two hands to carry the rig with the bass across your shoulder in a gig bag, I can do that with my rig.

Not necessarily. I have a 4 space rack and a fairly light speaker that I can carry with 1 hand. Most of the 1x12 and 2x10 cabinets in this thread can be carried in one hand. And if you have 2 of these cabinets and a head like the LM2 that fits in a gig bag, you are good to go. That's just one example though. You also have the powered cabs as an option.
I think 1 trip is a good goal for anyone's mini-rig.
Speaker in each hand.
Gigbag on back with cables, bass and amp. Maybe an amp bag slung on your shoulder.
