stewblack Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 So we were asked to minimise kit in order to bring fewer cars and to help us with multiple stairs. Sounds great but the drummer looks like he's 10ft tall 1 Quote

skidder652003 Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 so you only brought 2 basses then? Quote
mrtcat Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 That's one amp and one cab more than I usually take to a gig. Quote
stewblack Posted September 29, 2018 Author Posted September 29, 2018 I usually take 2 of everything. The basses I refuse to compromise on. Everything else I stripped back but no spare guitar? Never! Quote

stewblack Posted September 29, 2018 Author Posted September 29, 2018 Generally just in case. I dread equipment failure Quote
jacko Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 Very pretty. If you want to keep them that way, I'd unplug the lead when the bass is in it's stand otherwise you can guarantee a guitarist will trip over it and bring the whole thing crashing down. 2 Quote

If it’s active, you will also run the battery down a lot quicker. Quote
stewblack Posted September 30, 2018 Author Posted September 30, 2018 I don't leave active basses plugged in and always unplug after a soundcheck. Good advice though. Quote
goblin Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 Godda love these hard to access gigs with difficult load ins. I've got one coming up at The Boisdale in Canary Wharf, and they're put on the paperwork to avoid coming in on the car and bring public transport. I reckon I can do that, double Harvest on my back with some bits in the pockets, PedalTrain Jnr fits in my travel cabin case, plus clothes, ancillaries and such, and the 'board has a proper DI on it, so I'll just DI to PA and get a return to IEM! 1 Quote

BobVbass Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 that's' one guitar and a bigger amp and cab than I regularly use - I get all my stuff in the boot of a mini Quote

Markbass amp being the most recent. A wedding, I was depping. Approving looks from the band when I switched to my spare. Edited October 1, 2018 by stewblack 2 Quote
