I'm hauling 2 Mesa Scout cabs now instead of 1. What have you found to be the best way to move your gear from vehicle to stage and back? I want to know what's out there, the pros and cons, and where you got it. Lightweight and collapsable are my focus.
Thanks! |

Thanks! | For a couple of reasonably small cabs like that, the Kart-a-bag Super 600 is the ultimate. Not cheap, but super high quality, folds up to almost nothing, and has nice bunjee cords built in, and nice 'stair climber' rails so that you can easily go over curbs and drag your rig up a few stairs without unloading.
By FAR the best small hand truck type cart on the market.
Been using them for years.... top of the heap. |

|  | Registered User | | | | | I carry the bass and amp bag in one trip and my Genz Benz Neo 2x12 or TC Electronics 2x10 on the second trip. I have been thinking about mounting the Walkabout on top of the 2x10 and using a hand truck...some pretty good suggestions so far. |

edit: my backup bass is in a gig bag so I backpack it in while I push my buggy. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2007 Location: Appalachian State University | | | With my 810 I have someone help me load/unload from my vehicle, and then use the tilt back wheels and towel bar to move it. I just pick up my 115.
As for my head, it's only about 25 pounds so I lift that too.
