I know we all laugh at the saying $5000+ worth of gear, traveling 2 hrs to gig for $100. But just curious if any of you use less expensive equipment for gigs that either don't justify all the lugging around, less damage risk or just for simplicity.
For me my current system is for all my gigs.
This consists of my Ax8 and Ev ZXL 12's powered monitors.
I have 3 Ev's and they are versatile as wedges and or the main PA for small gigs, sometimes just for guitar in my band and can add or take away depending on the gig I'm doing. An 8 Chanel small Yamaha mixer and Presonus 16.0.2.
No complaints on sound, I am able to be heard in a solo gig, in a 2 piece and in a band. I fit in and get compliments on sound.
However I am considering a "B" level system for some of the smaller gigs and wonder.
If you have a smaller rig, I assume some comprimize on sound, what do you use?
The smaller gigs, would be vocal, acoustic, electric, not always but would include backing tracks.
Doing some beach front gigs consistently now and worry with the rain season, damaging the good stuff.
