What is your favorite lightweight rig?

My pocket rig. Soundelirium The 88 (8 ohm & 400W, 25lb) and Markbass Big Bang. For really small clubs or limited transport space issue.

I sometimes set up my Mesa WD-800 on top of two stacked 8 ohm Ampeg svt 210AVs. Setting the Mesa at 2 ohms knocks it down to 650 watts or so. The Ampegs are rated for 200 watts each and see roughly 325 watts each from the Mesa. Its a very nice sound, and although not hugely loud ( judicious use of the Mesa master vol. , high pass filter and damping ...so as not to blow the Ampegs) it kicks ass with the pre-amp tube gain @ 03:00. (The four 10's stacked in a column on a 14 inch riser gives a nice throw as well.)
