ead Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I have a selection of highly trained operatives who are attuned to all my bass playing needs. If for whatever reason they are unavailable then I use a sports kit type bag and a rucksack. Amps and basses in their gig bags and cabs as they are (not to self - should really get some covers).

My wife said 'Oh I will make you one' which is her normal answer - she makes hammocks for pets out of fleece, so I said, no thanks, I don't need a pink cupcake cover.

Dad3353 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 We have a very sophisticated system, with plastic open crates for the cabling (one for Speakons, another for mains cables and multi-plugs, yet another for xlr and another for Guitar 1's pedals and stuff...), shopping bags for the Guitar 2 cables, bass cables are in the flight with the bass amp, bass in a case. My drums are in soft, padded cases, cymbals in their flight case, drum accessories in a wooden box, stands are piled in at the end, with the tractor-seat drum throne and carpet to stop it all from rattling around. When loaded, it looks like this, for short, local trips... The 'cubes' are loaded first; the rest packed around 'em... We are five (well, four plus myself; I don't count for much more than winding cables, these days..! ), and all take their share of loading, packing away, etc. In those photos, we're 'backline only'; there's more (and more careful packing...) when we have the PA and monitors to carry.

tauzero Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I can probably reduce what I'm carrying now as the guitarist has got XLR cables to run to the main speakers. Small suitcase (carry-on luggage size) with IEC cables, 6-way and 10-way mains extensions, XLR leads which I don't need as we've gone to wireless mics except for the times when the wirelesses might not work for some reason, XLR to TRS leads that I don't need to carry around any more but will forget on the one occasion that I need them if I don't, and a few spare jack-jack instrument cables. One small aluminium case for wireless, MS60-B, and the combined power and jack-jack lead to go between them and the amp. Second small aluminium case with amp, assorted speaker leads, and a second combined power and jack-jack lead just in case. Smaller aluminium case with wireless mics in it. Larger aluminium case with wired mics and drum mics in it that we never use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylon Pilson Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 (edited) I've got a black plastic toolbox that I've been using for a while for the various miscellaneous items. There's a shallow top section which is useful for earplugs and other small items. I could probably get away with downsizing to something smaller, actually - I recently got a pedalboard, so there's a bit more space in the toolbox than there used to be (and I now have one more thing to carry).

cheddatom Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I have an old keyboard flightcase converted to a pedalboard. This has all my spares inside and I don't use an amp, so this and my bass in a bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
