The One Day CL make-a-rig challenge!

Sign in to disble this ad
Just thought of a fun game. you wake up the day of the biggest gig of your life, with all your equipment gone and an envelope with $2000 to put a new rig together.

Step one: pick a day
Step two: Find craigslist postings for that day in a specific area
Step three: find the best giggable rig you can for under $2000!

Here I go, January 5th in Boston!

Maybe not the absolute best rig (or I wouldn't be selling it), but totally stage-worthy.
