My band is starting to travel more, and I could use advice from roadies and touring musicians to find out what kind of on-stage gear and supplies you find indispensible when touring, how you balance road-worthy quality against cost, and which suppliers you buy from.
I'm interested in the kind of equipment and supplies that are used by the whole band, not just us bassists.
If you're willing to provide sources, I'll be happy to compile a list everyone can use.
What are some great sources for items such as heavy-duty, road-worthy, power cords and gang boxes, stage lighting, mixers, microphone cable-snakes, gaffer's tape, and so forth?
Thanks! |

Ditto on the gaffer's tape, but it's never cheap, although GC was selling duct tape as gaffer's tape and I called them on it. Remarkably, they quit selling it and got real gaffer's tape.

Thanks  |

except that is 14ga.
