BassistJonathan Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Hi all, I have a gk700rbII with neo 112 which is loud enough for all gigs. Weighs - 25kg I have a roland 30 bass cube which is loud enough for practices. Weighs 13kg Unfortunately next year Im off to uni in the city next to mine but will have to train it through every week for gigs. So...even though the neo is lightweight its still too big for long walking with it and the cube is too quiet. I was thinking something along the lines of laney RB3, its 65 watts, and 18.5kg. Any suggestions would be great thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylon Pilson Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) Shuttle 6.0 head - 1.7kg Barefacedbass Compact cab - 14.5kg Yeah, I know the combined cost is about a grand, but you could sell your GK combo.

Dood Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Have a look at the thread about the Ibanez Promethean in this very forum.. It's a 500W combo in a small box, that you can remove the amp out of and use seperately should you so wish.

hubrad Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Get an old frame rucksack (pref. a good one!) and strap it on! Actually I did this in pre-car days with a non-Neo 1x15 combo. 1/2 mile was ok and it gets you fit and warmed up for the gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstriper Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Take the Roland to uni for practising. Leave the GK with a band member and get him to take it to the gigs for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Markbass CMD121P. Small and manageable, and plenty loud. It's the same head as the Little Mark II, the whole thing weighs under 13kg. You won't get much lighter than that, but even that will knacker your arms carrying it around so you really need some kind of folding cart to lug it around with. Once you've got one of those, 25kg isn't so much of a problem any more so you can look at bigger amps too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think I could get louder than 30w for the same price of the roland, as I dont need the effects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
