No one carries more sound equipment than an accoustic band.

As a band we bought, A powered 8 channel mixer, Two 15" speaker wedges with base bins and stands and all the cables. and shure in-ear monitors (3 xs the price if the PA.) The mics and stands are owned by the individual members as are DI's and pre amps and in line tuners. Dependable quality instruments are the responsibility of the band members too. If my preamp breaks I buy a new one. If the powered amp breaks we all buy the new one.

Except for our instruments it is all kept in a trailer owned by the bands front man and he takes a few bucks more for the trailer out of each gig.
