During your shows, practices, etc..., what do you hate having to load in the most? Is it your monolithic 8x10? Your guitarists' must-have, full-stack 8x12? Those anvil-esque tube heads? Or is it the tedious nature of carrying in all of your drummer's cymbal stands and toms?
For me, it has to be drummer stuff. So, so, so tedious.

BUT, with that said, anvil-cased tube amps BLOW to load in. 'Nuff said. |

| | | | Somebody else's gear. All of my stuff is reasonably lightweight, and over time I've worked out how to carry everything without killing myself. But... Somehow there always seems to be something that doesn't belong to me but I have to carry it anyway, and I hate that.

|  | Registered User | | | | | I've never minded helping the other guys out with whatever, drums, lights, P.A. whatever. But as soon as the bass gear needs shifting everyone seems to have access to an invisibility cloak, where do they get this marvelous technology is my question?

It already managed to get a scratch underneath it when it slipped in the back of the car. I really don't mind heavy stuff though. I love loading in and out. Manual labour is satisfying for me.
