john_the_bass Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 One of these: No, not really, one of these (this one to be precise). Bought it when I finally returned my crappy company 1 series. It's faster, more comfortable and I can fit more stuff in it. Did my first gig with it on Saturday night and it took a pair of powered speakers, desk, lights, all the stands, my Mesa, Pete's Trace 115 combo, 2 guitars, 2 basses, my pedalboard and all the kit that goes into connecting it up. It's a square box as well, so you can load stuff up to the rear window and not worry about breaking it when you slam it down on top of your gear. My 54 Mondeo was huge, but somehow not as practical.

xgsjx Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) I used to put all my gear in a Honda DelSol! The bass & extras all fit in the boot & the combo went on the passenger seat. Now it's a '03 Corsa. Soon to be either a Volvo C30 D5 or T5 or a VW Scirocco (C30 is winning at present). Edit... Any long distance hauls & I use my slaves to carry gear on their heads!

henry norton Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Fiat Doblo Family - looks like Postman Pat's van but haven't found anything we can't get in it yet. The suspension is a bit harsh on valves so we have to drive carefully - unique seating arrangement means one can seperate squabbling kids (or band members).

[/quote] No I confused MrT out of his transport by asking him in detail where the evidence of all of his modifications had gone. In the end he was convinced it wasn't the one he'd been messing about with all those years and I drove away with a fiendish band-mobile!

Huggy and the Bears Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I use my trusty XK8 Convertible. Markbass LMK and Aguilar GS212 in the boot, bass on the seat. With the hood down I can get loads in stacked up. Brought most of the gear back from Muncaster Castle in the summer in it. It was well funny but looked cool. I prayed it didn't rain!

Huge Hands Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I use an Audi A3. On one of our regular gigs, I can get my combo amp and bits of mic stands, cables etc/drummers snare/pedal/cymbals in the boot, keyboard player's amplifier and drummer on the back seat with bass in a gig bag on the parcel shelf and neck sticking forward between them, and keyboard player in the front passenger seat with keyboard lying from his feet to his head in front of him. Probably not the most legal of layouts, but it works (drummer uses venue kit). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDaddy Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Just scrapped my car today it was gonna cost more to pass the MOT than the car was worth. I'm gonna look out for a 1 litre hatch that's cheap to run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrdirtyrob Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Seriously though, I usually walk if it's in town or borrow my dad's red citroen berlingo if i need to shift a lot of stuff (another postman pat lookalike). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben604 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I've got a '03 Focus and I used to carry about 2 basses, an 8x10 and my RB2000 around quite comfortably with the back seats down. Probably get a bit more in with some careful stacking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WILD FROG SHOT Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Got a Peugeot Partner Van which just passed it's MOT today with no additional work required! - Good 'ol Vanny! This was a massive relief after a kamikaze pheasant broke my non-insurance covered windscreen a couple of weeks ago; scared the crap out of me though! We can get most of our stuff in there, but our ivory-tinkler usually plays 4 full size synths, so he has to take his own stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussFM Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I just bought a Peugeot 308 1.6 HDi. Part of me wanted the CC version, and part of me wanted the SW version and an 8x10, but pretty happy with it anyway, I can get my 2x10, 3u rack case and the guitaristist's Gretch case in the boot, and my bass goes on the back seats. Probably would get an 8x10 in there with the seats down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
