4 guitars in hard cases
2 basses one in hard case one in bag
1 full drum kit
1 box of merch

oh ya and 12 guys

hope there are no cops here, because there were only 4 or 5 places to sit, and seat belts

Well...I may or may not qualify. You be the judge. I have put my Ampeg 8-10, rack, an entire PA (subs, tops, a rack of amps, a rack of gear, four monitors, and a couple of gear boxes), several guitars and basses, a set of drums, some misc. cases with mics and junk and a drummer in my 4-door Nissan pickup truck. It's a 4X4 so it held up just fine (stiff suspension and all that). The gig was an hour drive on back roads. Almost hit several deer on the way back. Slamming on breaks with all of that in the truck was no fun, but other than that I was proud of my little pickemup.


Edit to add: Oh! And I almost forgot the lights! Two trees.

I can say that a Bergantino 610, ampeg SVT, a few electric basses, and a 3/4 upright can fit in an 02 Subaru WRX sedan. Yes that's right - a 610 and an upright in a WRX sedan. :D

Dog house, micro amp, and in the drivers side passenger seat, a kiddie seat. As others have pointed out, it's a royal pain to get a kiddie seat in and out, so it's preferable to leave it in there. That leaves me a couple cubic feet of space for my amp.

I used to drive an FX16. They are smokin' little critters!!! Don't ever sell it. :hyper:

It IS a little hot rod ... I'm told that in europe they had a version making 200 turbo charged HP and all wheel drive! :eek:

I used to put it all in my other hot rod a Solara convertible, had to take the top down to fit everything and then put it back up.

;) ... The FX16 actually holds more and it is 3/4 the size of the Solara

I used to fit two Hartke 4-10xl's, a four space rack and two basses, in hard shells, plus two stands and a duffel bag into a two door Saturn coupe. If it didn't go in exactly right, it wouldn't work, which is a nightmare at 3 a.m. load-outs after the gig
