cheddatom Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I find your attitude towards physical labour lazy, and your attitude towards animal labour sickening. Quote
Kongo Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 For my Trace Elliot 1048H (the name suggests it's not light!) I just use good old 2 man labour. But I am making a trolley that it can fit one so it can both be wheeled (trolley type wheels) and stands a wee bit higher. Quote

And I'm far too fat and important to carry anything heavy, kind'a like most singers I've worked with Quote
Rebel Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 For the 2 combos that i use (1960s Ampeg Tube Combo: 300 Watts & Acoustic B200 Combo) i bought a set of wheels for each of them and screwed them in the bottom of the amp. I've had nor problem ever since. Quote

Personally, I think that the squirrels are the way to go, very resourceful animals…… Quote
NancyJohnson Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Going back to the original thread, I use a fishing trolley I got from Argos. If I don't use that, my drummer carries it out to the car (seriously). He's soooooo keen. P Quote

cheddatom Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 How many ants would it take to move an 8 x 10? Quote
alexclaber Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 If anyone local to me would like a dolly I have a spare one here. I got it so I could move my dual Acme Low-B2 + rack rig in one go but since I switched over to my Barefaced cabs they're either so light that wheels are totally unnecessary or they already have wheels built in. Alex P.S. I wouldn't trust grey squirrels - more likely to get their mates to distract you with a brief song and dance routine whilst they whip your cab off to a secret location for the provision of bassy sustenance later in the season. The reds are a much safer bet but they're terribly fussy eaters, don't get them a kebab after the gig if you want them to come back next time. Quote

I dont think I could actually fit that in my car without my bass gear in , let a lone with Quote
Huge Hands Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I have Ashdown cabs and I use one of [url="http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?moduleno=97489"]these[/url]. It was on special when I bought it, suggested by someone on Basschat. Folds away nicely next to the cab in the boot of the car. Quote

Heaviest/bulkiest that's been on it is a Marshall 4x12 [i]and [/i]a big cable box. No problem. Easily big (and deep) enough for my Mag 4x10. The little fold down legs can be a pain the the arse (sometimes they just don't drop into place), but by and large, it's a fantastic little trolley. Weighs next to nothing. My old guitarist also used to use it at gigs to raise his cabinet up a bit. Buy JLPs one! P Quote
Monz Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Get yoursen one of these on sale from next thursday it seems [url="http://www.lidl.co.uk/uk/home.nsf/pages/c.o.20090618.p.Stair_Climbing_Truck.ar10"]LIDL Stair Climbing Trolley[/url] Quote
Cat Burrito Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I really need to check with my road crew.... I wish! I think I get through on a series of pathetically helpless looks & the misguided sympathy of band mates! Quote
Musicman20 Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 I carry nearly everything...and the 8x10 is for sale as my band is useless at carrying. I am quite skinny...they are all much bigger than me. They cant even carry one Marshall Guitar head without whinging. Quote
