[QUOTE="Glenn Adams, post: 115780, member: 6611"] Re: Making the next step in the PA biz... Let's hear your thoughts Looks like the advice was good from quite a few folks. Looks like you are on your way. One thing that I can add here is on the gear you have. I was in the same boat and doing hard rock was hard on equipment. I noticed that a local sound company, now the largest, always had nice shinny new stuff to rent out. i found out a few things along the way. I was using racks of 700b amps and they started launching. Couldn't afford SAE at the time so I was off to Blueball to see my old friend from Clair, the late Dave Wenger. He could fix a Phase like no one I'd ever seen. we spent hours on talking about speakers, phase measurements, power response, designs, how to build drives over many Millers lites. I must say that my less than scientific mind solved a problem he was having with the 10 speaker he was making for the pre-Bose Panaflex. He gave me an idea but I never got to use it. Be a dealer for the lines of stuff you are using. You buy it at cost, rent it, have it for sale all the time at just above what you paid for it. That way you would sell the slightly used stuff and buy new to replace it. Made sense to me. my stuff would never get tired and still be a value to someone who wanted to save a few bucks on slightly used gear. My rental inventory would stay fresh, and that is important to some clients, and I would not have stuff blowing up during a show. Dave was one hell of a guy. I miss our chats, not so much the Millers. [/QUOTE]
