s_u_y_* Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 (edited) Hi there... welcome! After going throught the same problem, I've gone with and so far stuck with a Mark Bass Little Mark II => Epifani-UL110. For me, transportability via public transport is also key. That alone is only 13kg. But if it is just the weight for lifting out of your car, I'd add an Epifani-UL112 to that combo. About 500W through both speakers.

wateroftyne Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 There's a lot of it about these days. It depends on your budget, though. Amp-wise, the Markbass stuff is pretty cheap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_ferret Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Welcome. There are quite a few threads on light weight gear as you are not the only one with a bad back. There may be one pinned in the amps and cabs section. The magic word is Neodynium. Gear includes Epifany, Mark Bass, EBS, GK, EA, Genz Benz, Accugroove etc. Ampeg do a light weight range ridiculously called Portabass. Lots of choice. Have a look on The Gallery website and they have links to lots of makers sites as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
