My small rig is the following:

Either a Carvin BX250 (3.2 lbs) or a GK MB-200 (2 lbs) (both go to all gigs) and a Bag End 12 + horn (about 40 lns).

For bar gigs I use the Carvin, and add a Bag End S15-B (46 lbs)

I'm with Alan on the Genz Benz. I have the Shuttle 9.0 and an Acme Flatwound with the Neo 12. Total weight under 30 lbs. Mono gig bag, (yeah, I know) all in one trip, and only I touch my gear...

I'm a big fan of mark bass stuff. When I play electric, I can fit my markbass head and all my effects in my backpack, and it's reasonable. The head itself is super light.

Hey Edwin, I came across your picture in the Dig My Rig section of the new Bass Player magazine! Congratulations on getting published!

Thanks! Not exactly a lightweight rig, though!

Maybe not but it is definitely a unique rig & worthy of the magazine spot! I have often thought about submitting a picture of my gear to them but haven't done it yet. Maybe I will after I get my Europa!

Carvin MB15 is a nice relatively light rig.
I've been very happy with it and the headphone output spares my wife from me noodling around in the back room.
Just over 30 lbs.

Look at the new Carvin stuff. Light and inexpensive with good reviews and bulletproof build.

I use a Carvin BX250 head with a variety of Bag End cabinets with excellent results.

I will never again buy anything I can't cary with 1 hand.

The Eden WT-550 Time Traveller tube/SS-hybrid head fits in a shoulder bag and weighs less than 20#, but puts out a wallop. Choose one of two 4ohm D-210XST 500W cabs w/bell HF driver (60# ea). The two cabs in parallel were more expensive than an Eden D-410XST, but sound better, allow for a 2ohm load for the amp which unleashes 650W of power with 2dB of headroom and allows an even more portable option for smaller gigs. Not cheap, but fits in most cars and is easily carried by one person.

Duplicate post, my apologies
