OK in reality  Im sure this would be a good rig,but  It does not sound very versitile though. I would look at every way each piece of gear can make you money every day.

This is quite a bit further up the ladder than I am talking about, Phil.

I am quite aware of that, I was just trying to illustrate the point that you can't possibly make a blanket statement like that.

I see a lot of riders that specify bi-amped monitors. Now you could have a nice passive wedge that sounds better than a shitty bi-amped wedge with bad processing, but nonetheless, that's what they put in the rider.

I think your rig could do 4-6k people for public speaking and some quieter musical acts, but certainly not anything loud. The monitor rig will also struggle with a loud band on a large stage.

And as everyone has said- your price tag is way high for that rig. Every show is different, but we would be charging around half of that for our local 3000 seat venue and with a bigger rig than what you listed.

Maybe I'm too much of a newbie to really grasp this concept.

How does a single peice of gear make money by itself? Say the amp rack, for example? Or a microwedge, without the rest of the system?

the rig should be modular enough that you can have many configurations from small to large. make it so you can break it down into two smaller systems so you can do two smaller shows at the same time. if you have multiple systems, components should be interchangeable between them so you can mix and match to get the most efficient setup for any show.

Didnt Peavey bring out the Versarray to the "B" stage at Ozz fest this last year and was a huge success? I believe they had rather huge crowds with no problems mentioned.

I personally just dont think this is the way to start. I would first figure out who will hire you and how you will pay for this gear. Thats what should dictate your purchases.

That would be great, Brandon. However, how can you "sell" yourself when noone knows what you're selling?

Yes it was. It was, however, quite a bit larger than this.

Who are you selling this service to once you have the rig?
