Items To Make The Motoring Musicians' Life Easier
First of all thanks to Josh Max for this article.
Paul McCartney, Sting and Sheryl Crow have helpers who load and transport their instruments, amps and clothing. Everyone else has to get creative with equipment and travel. Here's some space-saving gear for the rolling musician.
Not only does this finely crafted instrument by a legendary guitar maker produce a beautiful tone, it's one of the few smaller-sized acoustic guitars that barely raise a squawk from airline gate agents and flight attendants, so you can (usually) slip it in the overhead compartment without much fuss. Its distinctive “L-series” design comes from the early 1900s and it's a favorite among jazz, blues and roots guitarists.
Face it, nothing's going to compare soundwise to your full-size, vintage double bass. But for bassists on the go with little room to spare, Yamaha's SVB-200 delivers a detachable frame, a body made of spruce and mahogany and a neck of maple, dual piezo pickups and a sleek gig bag. Its sound, for its size, is mighty-mighty, and you'll be glad at the end of the gig to pack up and be on your way lickety-split.
While it lacks the tried-and-true road reputation of, say, a Shure SM-57, the iRig Mic HD 2 is the only handheld mic of its kind featuring high-quality 24-bit converters with sample rates up to 96kHz, a low noise preamp, a high-quality gold-sputtered electret condenser capsule for exceptional frequency and transient response and an onboard dedicated headphone output with volume control for direct signal monitoring. Offering unmatched quality and versatility at an affordable price, iRig Mic HD 2 comes with all the cables and accessories needed in a variety of situations, as well as a convenient table tripod for use during interviews, calls or video conferences.
This little speaker packs a mighty punch, and it's compact enough to fit small vehicles and light enough to carry up flights of stairs. It features a single 12-inch 300 watt HyDrive neodymium hybrid cone drive as well as a 1-inch titanium high frequency compression driver. It also looks particularly cool with its steel grill, inset side handles, high-quality plywood with extensive bracing and dado joinery. Its rugged, road-worthy construction is capable of withstanding prolonged abuse that is typically brought on by gigging.
Musicians sometimes get so tied up with gear that they neglect personal things like clothing, cosmetics, deodorant and a place to store their valuables while they're up on stage. This vintage-inspired rolling trunk, unmistakable amongst your other gear, will neatly handle all your personal stuff. Four full rotation wheels make navigation effortless through crowds, and it's made of “ABS” which provides impact resistance and toughness for long time use and handling. Its corners are wrapped in PVC for additional protection. It also comes with a 5-year warranty and can be cleaned with a damp cloth.
