[QUOTE="Evan F. Hunter, post: 97726, member: 73"] Re: Freelancers, do any of you carry mixing consoles? This is why when I purchase equipment to suit my larger gigs, I also try to make sure that the equipment is Multipurpose. That way when Im not out on a large gig I can take my wedges (QRX115s) to smaller shows as Wedges, Fills or FOH on a stick out on days that I otherwise would not have a show and still bring in a few hundred bucks for the night. I also understand that I may not be doing as many shows or large shows as frequently as some of you. That being said if Im walking in on a rig that I know will be OK at least, I will usually have a few extra mics, cables and DIs along with a pouch of adapters etc in my truck. I wont bring them in unless I have a direct need. But when something goes down or we are a few short and you save the day, it helps them want to pay you next time and the time after etc. When I had more outboard I would take a small rack sometimes but that was just personal preference over necessity and therefore included in my fee. On the rare occasion I did bring a mixer or other large item cause the venue just wouldnt do, it was billed accordingly. [/QUOTE]
