Been moving an MS-60 with speakers and internal amps (40 plus lbs, I think) to 5 plus jobs a week for years. I too played a B-3 and Rhodes (still do 3-4 jobs a month), but mostly for house jobs-6 nights. I often thought I should have gotten at least one SM-50
(same instrument without speakers and amps) for some of the jobs.

Now, I'm about to use a G-70 and SH-201 on most jobs, with some adding an XB-2 and GW-7.

It's a little harder (an age thing) but still well worth it, in my opinion. Of course, it helps to have a son who plays bass in the group and set up equipment for a OMB 2nd job in one day. He's young and strong, and feels sorry for the old man.
