[QUOTE="Mark Thompson, post: 114286, member: 6536"] Re: Rent the backline / buy the backline ? How is the Backline progressing? I own the third largest backline company in Nashville (and growing). I have way over 100 amplifiers, lots of drums and keyboards, and still have to buy or subrent to satisfy many riders. My hardest working pieces reflect a lot of what is already listed: Fender reissues and Devilles, Vox AC30s (everyone seems to like the British made), Yamaha and DW drums, SVT, Aguilar, and a variety of keyboards. Keyboards can be difficult as they are very expensive, there is a wide range of requests, and the value of new keyboards drop like a rock in a pond in a few years. The "vintage" pieces like Korg Tritons have much better return. I have the benefit of good relationships with other backline companies in town, we subrent from each other to fill the gaps in riders. I'd guess that the person you were renting from would rather subrent to you at a reduced price for your riders than to lose your business altogether.
