How small is your packed up performance kit?

If the photo is too large, I resize. You can resize on your desktop to 6 x 8 or 8 x 10 before uploading to imgur. OR, put it up on imgur and use the smaller thumbnail size. If you're using the same camera/phone all the time you should be able to use the same thumbnail size every time. .... once you get it where you like it.

Thanks Steve, I appreciate it.

Hey Pnewsom where can I get a suitcase like that? really!

[EScottG]

Ditto on the sweet suitcase but I want to see more of that archtop hiding in the back!

Mine's very much like this, just add a mandolin case and a gig bag for harps, extra cables, mics etc. My S1 travels in the Arriba bag. it fits nicely and was much less expensive than the Backpack.

Check the yard sales, that’s were this one was found. Perfect size, and no alligators were harmed.

Here you go, its a 1977 Ibanez 2471nt. I bought it new in ‘78. Added the Johnny Smith pup a year later.

Awesome, thanks!

Beautiful arch-top. I'll bet it sounds great.

So this has all been very helpful. Seems like everybody needs at least one guitar, an amp, stands and a bunch of cables and stuff that goes in a soft bag. Multiply the guitars and you multiply cases, stands cables and so on. Add pedals (or processors) and a mixer and you get bigger. Get nervous about spares and backups and you get bigger. It would be entirely possible to go commando with just a guitar and picks, as I do in a venue with great sound system and a soundman, but I only know one place like that where I play.

Anyway, thanks and its great to see the photographs.

Guitar, Bose Compact, along with Bose Ti, Bose extentions and mic stand in the duffle bag.

I snagged this on Facebook Marketplace for $20 a couple weeks ago.
I wish they had 10 of them for sale. I love this thing. 24" X 17" X 8"

Hi all…

These days I can carry it all into the venue in one trip. Sometimes I need a small cart to make it one trip, but usually not.

I use one of these:

There are a bunch of light weight collapsible wagons that I have been looking at on Amazon:

I have one of those for my laundry. I love it.

I have a Rock N Roller RT12 cart for equipment that I couldn't live without.

The problem with four wheel carts is they don't go up stairs, though they do hold more in terms of bulk and weight. I use them for video production.

But I use this for my music equipment:

But a four-wheel dolly would really cut down on the number of trips.
