how do you haul your gear??

[blues_n_cues]

car,truck,trailer,or in Matt's case a semi.

I have a 12'x7'Wells Cargo combo hauling/vending trailer/portable man cave.lol the guy I bought it from used it for motorcycle rallys so it ramps down in the back.
it also doubles for my BBQ & concession gigs. pulled by a 2005 GMC envoy 4x4.

yeah,that amps & guitars fit in the vehicle but when it comes to the drums,p.a.etc,,,

I meant to put on there mods in progress. I need to replace the front door & redo the flooring.

A box trailer would be ideal, plenty of room and protected from the weather.

saw this vid a while back you could warm up on the way to an out door gig.

Thats a great Idea. I'm using my Windstar. The only thing that sucks is having to take the rear seats in the house and then back to the van because I have no garage.

From one room to the next...

When I am going to people houses I usually just take a small Lead 12 or my VS65R and a couple guitars in cases in my car.

If I were gigging would take the wifes SUV or my work truck.

[Les Moore]

Is that 1/50 of Matts crew?

 

[Les Moore]

Shit bnc, you can mod your amps on the fly before the gig while waiting for the bbq to be done

It's amazing how much stuff fits in my son's BassWagon.

 

[FlyingVMan]

Keyboards and PA ride in a box van. Drums in another van, my stuff fits in the Mrs Jeep Cherokee

Nice rig blues,

How is the braking with that? I mean, does the trailer have brakes?

I'm worried that trailer - if full of gear - could push you down a steep hill at high speed, smoke pouring from the brakes of your GMC.

As for the original question: all the gear seems to accumulate at my house, Rhodes, PA, bass amps etc... so it's usually a hired truck or large van.

Haven't had many gigs so far but it's starting to heat up. I don't really want to own a van or truck these days so I suppose we're stuck with hiring for now.

I play in 2 bands on a reg basis,...luckily i have enough shit that i can keep 2 4x12's in the metal band trailor, 2 4x12's in the classic rock trialor, 1 4x12 and a jubilee at the metal band rehersal studio, and still have a couple 4x12's and 2203's to jam with at home

Then i just haul my head, pedalboard, 4sp rack, cordbag, and guitars in the back seat of my crew cab Dodge Dakota. Works out really well.
