Cool Hauler??....

Sign in to disble this ad
What do you guys use to haul your gear around in??...Being bass players, we haul some big cabinets, and our bass cases are generally bigger than a Strat case, which won't fit in the trunk of a Ford Escort....Myself I have a pretty unusual hauler vehicle that I'll post pics of later....I want to see what the rest of you have first ....

I somehow manage to stuff all of my gear into a 92' Toyota Camry. It's like a game of tetris trying to make it all fit.

We're looking to get a small trailer now. Seems to be the best option for us.

95 Camry. I feel your pain.


I can usually fit the bass in the front seat and everything else in the back seat or trunk. When I have struggles is moving to or back home from school. Bass+Practice Amp+all of my stuff doesn't want to fit in my car well.

Yes I do!!....Funny you posted that...I have a old Squire P that I got for free (wanted the neck), that after Dale Earnhardt died I built up into a #3 Earnhardt bass...I'll have to find the close-up pics I took and post them here...Anyways, I told my wife I need a Coffin Case for that one instead of the gig bag I currently carry it in...Then slap a big #3 on the case...She thought it would be in poor taste though...I still wnat to do it tough...Not with disrespect in mind though...
