Members New Trail Posted August 13, 2013 Members Share Posted August 13, 2013 I bought a small PA system (Yamaha Powered Mixer, two EV speakers, stands, and cables) from the new drummer in our originals band. That, along with the two EV speakers that I already had, would make a useable system for smallish gigs, but.............I'm not sure I want the members of my band(s) to know I bought it....is that selfish? The problem is that I don't have anything to haul all of that stuff with in addition to what I normally have to carry to a gig. The bands that I'm in already have PA situation covered, anyway, so it's not a big deal. Am I being selfish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StratGuy22 Posted August 13, 2013 Members Share Posted August 13, 2013 If the bands have the PA covered, I wouldn't mention anything. Could to host practice at your place? Leaving it set up ready to go could be a bonus to the bands, if you don't mind band practice at your place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Yer Blues Posted August 13, 2013 Members Share Posted August 13, 2013 Nah... I don't think it's selfish. You might be surprised though. The other guys might be comfortable with what they are using and NOT want to use your PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nchangin Posted August 16, 2013 Members Share Posted August 16, 2013 Your a musician right? Need your own personal pa! A necessity indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Austincowbell Posted August 20, 2013 Members Share Posted August 20, 2013 god help you..... I own a PA system. I flat out refuse to bring it to gigs. The absolutely only way to do this without resenting your entire band is to tell them that IF you bring the PA it is to be unloaded and setup before anyone unloads or sets up anything. You can exlude the drummer from this if you want but otherwise you are going to be doing the soundguy's job and wanting to murder your friends.
