Re: POST YOUR SETUP
How many of us have just one setup?
At one point in my history, the live rig consisted of packing up the
studio and carting it to the performance site. That was painful as it
usually cost a few days on either end to dismantle and then restore the
studio.
So we tried to separate the live rig from the studio rig. Yeah, that
did lead to some duplication, but my yard sale mentality helped there:
don't pay more than you did for the first instance, but if another shows
up cheaper, grab it. I paid $450 for my first Arp Odyessy and $175 for
my fourth. (Anyone want to sell me my fifth? (-8)
But now I find myself in three different bands, each of which calls for
a different setup. In fact, one band called for three different setups
for our last three gigs as we played a basement punk rock gig, an art
gallery opening, and a silent film soundtrack.
So, I guess my question is: how many of us have the luxury of only one
setup?
