Hnz Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) May I suggest the Ampeg Micro VR + 2x SVT210 av? I'm guessing it has the sound you're looking for. The Micro VR's sound has depth and warmth and power. This weekend I gigged with it for the first time. Medium size venue with a small stage. • It takes up ample space • Vertical stacking enables to hear oneself better - and no need for crates, cases or such • It is very light and compact • Killer sound - gain on 11 or over 1 o'clock, depends if one needs a bit more grit • Enough headroom - for smaller venues like bars, pubs, and clubs and otherwise go over the PA Some pics of it in my office: Edited March 2, 2011 by Hnz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanker Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 GenzBenz Streamliner and Bergantino cabs( NV412 would be outrageous or 2x112s) I played one through a Berg AE212 yesterday and that can get nice and deep too. Otherwise Mesa Walkabout combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charic Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Another RH450 and RS210 user here. Lovely and warm sounding and LOUD!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 If you wanted the best compromise on lightweight, volume, sound Then I'd suggest a Barefaced Midget with a Markbass LM3 or 2. The markbass heads SS preamp is pretty warm and you can EQ out some high mid and treble to get a warmer sound, depends on your needs though. I have a similar setup, I think it's great.

thodrik Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Its not 'micro' amp lightweight, but for ability to give a really full, rich, 'valvey' sound the Mesa Walkabout is great. I love mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einar Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I would say Euphonic Audio's Wizzy cabs, uber light and killer tone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hnz Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 [quote name='loweringthetone' post='1136313' date='Feb 21 2011, 10:20 PM']"The best rig ever was a Mesa 400+ with a 2x15. However, I almost slipped a disc carrying the damn things, so I probably have to avoid pure valve amps."[/quote] If the Mesa tube sound is what you like, try the Mesa Walkabout; The most tubish hybrid basshead in the market and weighs just 6 kg. The 350 watts @ 4ohm are the loudest 350 watts I've ever heard. Much louder than f.i. Markbass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTUK Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 FWIW, I don't think the LMll is warm enough ..certainly not in the combo mode, ie with MB 2x10 speakers. Great combo but a more modern sterile sound. Needs a valve in the pre, IMV. sterile might be too strong, but a hard or harsh sound is about right. This might be right up some peoples street but, not the OP's, IIUIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bankai Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Ashdown Perfect 10 Mini-Rig. Simply amazing. Don't be expecting trace watts though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
