Back line Rental in Maine?

Fellow bassists,

I'm traveling out to New England in November and I can't for the life of me find any places that where I can rent some gear for a few days.

I'm hoping to rent (or borrow) a guitar amp: Something in the Fender department with tubes.

A bass cabinet. Preferably a 4x10 by Eden or SWR or similar.

Anyone know of any businesses that do this sort of thing? Google hasn't been very helpful. I'm flying into Boston, and don't have a problem getting stuff from there and then driving it up to Maine.

Thanks for any and all information.

-Pat

Thanks so much for the links, Sam.

The three "big" shows I'm playing are:
November 19 in Hartford, CT
November 26-27 in Brewer, ME

I'm going to be playing with my own project which has a folk/Americana vibe to it. The singer and I played in a bluegrass band back in the day, she lives in ME, I live in TX and we've been collaborating to put out a new album and to start playing shows with our own material. Full info can be seen at my website: www.gpatharris.com

Thanks again for the help.

-Pat

Brewer's right across the river from Bangor. Sounds like Northern Kingdom would be the place to start.

If you want a bite while you're driving through Portland let me know!

BEST, SAM
