Re: Q o' th' Week: Live Gig Rig Logistics

[Jprice01@aol.com]

I apparently got my headrush nicked sat nite. & yes, sometimes gear does 
not 
make it back.

we made the mistake of packing up our equipment and then leaving it 
unattended and out of eyeshot after we played - big mistake- we should 
have 
loaded out immediately after we finished playing but we were all pretty 
beat 
& wanted to see the other bands and DJ's that were playing.

I've been doing a lot of acoustic stuff thruout this week and didnt bother 
unpacking my electro rig for electrified stuff until last nites full band 
practice and then it hit me when i went to plug in the rack gear and floor 
units - the headrush was gone and at that point, it wuz probably long gone.

back to the music store again and ouch ! the $169 price tag is not that 
big 
but its still money that could have been saved or spent elsewhere.

I have never had any music gear ever stolen but theres a first time for 
everything. I'd say that i'm going to have an inventory of my live rig and 
use a cklist of things to go thru before i finally say i'm finished 
packing 
and run off for the nite.
