2nd hand Lightwieght rigs

[William James Easton]

i'm on the hunt again. Currently playing through a ampeg b1re and svt 115 but at the end of the night i cant be arsed to haul them up 2 flights of stairs.
So i'm on the hunt for light/neo rig.
wont be able to afford a whole new rig in a oner so want to get a cab first then the head, eyes on terror bass.
what can for £300/£350ish mark?
however i dont like tiny tiny amps that you can trip over on a dark stage so lookin 2x12 - 2x15
are they realistic prices for a decent light wieght cab?

the back up to my svt pro 6 and now to my db750 is a little mark 2!

works really well for me on the small gigs we do where i can't get the db750 and 610hlf to, and ive used it in the past thru my 610 and it was bloody loud!

i'd def try one out!

how much are little marks and little giants going for nowadays. may eventually give into the mark band wave budgets and all that, reckon i'll be able to spend 250 max on an amp.
cab could be sorted very soon!

I'd avoid the lower Little Giants as you'll need 2 x 4ohm cabs to get 350w/500w out of them, the LG1000 is 2 x 500w outputs @ 4ohms each


For a LMII you'll be looking at about £100 more than that, worth it though

LMII over the Ashdown gear any day! I just sold my LMII for around the £350 mark, and there have been quite a few about lately, so finding one shouldn't be too hard. As for lightweight cabs - small "normal" weight cabs aren't really THAT heavy. I use Aguilar GS112's and althought they are not neo, they are still a one hand lift up and down stairs, and they can be pickud up at around the £250 mark. Well worth it IMO. For bigger cabs like 2x12 and 4x10 I would definately want neo though.
