Tony,
I get yours and Scott's point about humping allot of gear. I just view it differently it is to me for all the years I gigged, I figured whatever I needed to bring was part of the job......try humping and setting up a set of Musser Pro Vibes sometime. Plus the amp, speakers mixer, help the other band members hump their stuff in and set up on and on. It just came with the territory as far as I am concerned and what I chose to do.

In short I did and brought whatever it was that was necessary to put on the very best performance I could for the audience and never did mind really having to hump all the stuff, to me it was just a priviledge to play and be paid and enjoyed by people that only a small percentage of all the musicians out there get the opportunity to do.
