[QUOTE="Jeff Babcock, post: 74378, member: 46"] Re: Making the next step in the PA biz... Let's hear your thoughts Yep, seems reasonable to me. This keeps you just under the level where many logistical complications begin to arise. Best thing I ever did was to get rid of all the bigger stuff. Now all I keep on hand are some small consoles, a small pile of powered cabs, basic LED lighting, and mics, cables, etc, etc. I don't own anything that I can't lift by myself anymore. If I need something I don't have, I am happy to rent, knowing that despite the cost and inconvenience of crossrentals , they leave me further ahead in the long run. With a small, versatile setup like you propose, you'll be able to keep the gear you have working consistently, and be able to transport it more easily, deploy it quicker, and often deploy with just a one-man crew. And you keep your initial investment in gear to a minimum, and focused on high ROI items. My only suggestion might be to look for a more compact/lighter trap box than the SLS960. Preferably something under 100lbs, that a single person can position without assistance in most circumstances. Something along the lines of a 50lb Danley SM60F would be more like it, though those might not quite have the output you want. [/QUOTE]
