Re: [Harp-L] Professional/Gigging Survey

[Rick In Davis <rickindavis@xxxxxxxxx>]

Matt, it depends a LOT on the gig.
   
  In my harp case I'll pack 20 diatonic harps, 3 mics, and one 20-foot cable.  That goes to every gig.
   
  If I'll be playing through the house system I'll take a 4-space rack case with a power conditioner, a V-Amp modeler/effects unit, and a BBE compressor/gate.
   
  If I'll be playing through my own amp I'll add a Crate Powerblock head and a Crate 4x12 cab filled with Celestions.     
   
  In addition, I have a big tweed bag with lots of pockets and zippers.  Everything else goes in there:  extra cables, adapters, a Leatherman tool, digital camera, iPod, delay pedal (just in case), and pens, business cards, etc.  Often, I'll include a laptop computer, too.
   
  At the minimum, you need harps and a mic.  If I'm feeling like travelling really light I'll take a few harps and a Harmonica Honker mic, which is tiny and gets good growly tones out of a clean PA system.

- tools

Thanks
