[QUOTE="Silas Pradetto, post: 84802, member: 34"] Re: Rent the backline / buy the backline ? I rent. I need backline constantly, and there is no possible way I could buy everything that every rider needs. The local backline shop is one of the biggest in the country with over $5 million of inventory and they still have to tell me they don't have stuff sometimes. Plus, backline requires a LOT of maintenance and checking to make sure it is all in 100% working condition, which I don't have time for. The local company always sends spares for all guitar amps and heads, there is pretty much no chance of a failure with anything I get from them. The price paid is well worth it; I just factor it into my bids. I can usually outfit a whole band (drums, bass rig with 8x10 or dual 4x12, guitar amps, keyboard, all stands and cables) with backline for about $1000. [/QUOTE]
