Perfect setup for small gigs

Hi guys, i have to share this with you :) Finally i found my perfect setup for small gigs, I have big amps of course but tired of carrying it, my backbone is suffering, and I don't need them so often so I bought this beauty : amp Trace Elliot Elf, box Soundelirium 25Micro. It has two five speakers, gives 160 Watt, through this box my Fodera is signin', my jazz bass is swingin' and my MusicMan is killin' :) And the big one, OMG...It is just awesome ! What is your setup for small gigs ?

What is your setup for small gigs ?

Wow, I thought I had a tiny rig, but that's pretty darn compact!

My Mini-Rig Of Doom consists of an Acoustic Image Focus 1 head into a pair of FliteSound ultralite cabinets, a 1x15" and a 1x12". I've done a number of small gigs with just one of those cabinets -- usually the 1x15" -- but on a couple of occasions (when there wasn't a drummer) I've been able to get away with just the single 1x12"

But I think even that setup is probably a good 6" taller than your rig!

Awesome li'l rig. Congrats. I keep hearing nothing but good things re the Elf.
I used to use a Berg AE112 for my quiet blues/jazz gig. . And no doubt they'd still be great. . Ang no doubt your rig above would suit too. But I've sold my 2 AE112s, as even two of them were struggling at some of the louder gigs. So I've grabbed a cuppla lightweight 115s
But. .. and who doesn't love big BUTS.
A li'l rig like yours is calling! As long as it still has the FEEL of a 'cushion-ey' bottom end, oil be happy

A great little practice/small venue rig I'm enjoying right now. I can run the MB alone, through the Acoustic cab by itself, or together. Easy to haul and offers some solid punch. Looking at the Elf too as a backup and additional puzzle piece. I've enjoyed viewing all the mini-rigs to this point.

Cute rig! For small gigs with drums, I usually use my Genz Benz Shuttle 3.0-8T or 10T combos (6kg and 8kg). For even smaller gigs without drums, I would plug the GB STL 3.0 amp into my Soundelirium 6micro (5kg). Sometimes, if there is a PA support, I would only take my PJB Ear Box with the GB amp (2kg). And smallest of the smallest set up is my EBS MicroII preamp into my earphones...:) (under 1kg).

I had my hands on that little guy at Sweetwater, never played through it, it seemed well built, looks cool.
