Doddy Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 [quote name='Sarah5string' post='788771' date='Mar 28 2010, 07:31 PM']Very true, although my bass case is a hard rectangular type, and seems to fit in awkwardly on the back seats..[/quote] It should still fit if you put it a diagonal angle. Or just buy a gig bag,it makes life easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDM Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) Volkswagen Polo : There isn't a picture because I can't fit any gear in my car at all Even a hiscox bass case barely seems to fit across the back seats.

ped Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I basically can't get anything in my C6 as the back seats don't fold in any way (they are electric) and I don't want gear on my leather seats. The boot fits my basses in sideways but my cabs have to go on a thick rug across the passenger seats, but I don't like doing that either!

EdwardHimself Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 (edited) Let's see. Once i managed to fit 4 people, a bass guitar and all of my drum gear, including the throne, hardware and cymbals into my dad's volvo S80. Maybe not the most impressive of all feats in this thread but i thought we did well lolz. We're not usually too bothered about this sort of thing though because we do own a MASSIVE ford fiesta so you can pretty much get anything in there XP Edited June 26, 2010 by EdwardHimself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umph Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 [quote name='daz' post='787310' date='Mar 26 2010, 07:40 PM']Watch it. a lead foot start could put that Hartke head amp through the back window of that Celica! I wish id taken a pic of my Volvo 940 (with boot not hatchback!) with this little lot crammed in it. I won the lot off ebay for £16, consisting of 12 small combo amps and 4 large PA cabs. Worked out at £1 per item!! Pictured below [/quote] doom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgy boot catch on Cavilier estate. 4x10 already loaded, lifted it upright to get screwdriver out of spare tyre well. Fiddled with catch, slammed boot - CRASH. Bucket for glass, two bin bags and a roll of parcel tape and off to the gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
