On the road back then, we moved, and used the bands property gear.

So you've never dealt with any venue backline stuff, or from rental companies?

We almost had to do rentals, a couple of times. But we did have an ample backup. It was close though.

Yeah, I imagine backup gear was essential, in case something failed at the worst possible time. I'm sure that happened, too, didn't it?

With the older tube heads, pushing them as hard as they were pushed, tubes, or transformers did fail at some of the worst times. When they were running hard, that was failure times.

I imagine that they'd get pretty hot, too. You'd probably could fry an egg on them, couldn't you?

You didn't want to touch them, that was for sure.

Well, at least you don't have to worry about that with the Class D stuff, and it's a fraction of the weight, too. I guess there's pros and cons to everything, though.

I'm getting very spoiled with the Hartke. I do believe, even if I did have the means to change out gear, my Hartke would stay right where it's at. Image

Sure, why not? If it ain't broke, why fix it, and all of that. 8)

That's true. That tube stuff wasn't what I'd call cheap, especially some of the stuff you had.

Pretty much any tube head with power tubes ain't gonna' be cheap.
