Backline
Gear that's already tuned when the artist walks in.
Rider-accurate instruments, amps and techs — prepped in the shop, not improvised in the parking lot.
A rider is a promise, and backline is where promises get broken. We read the rider line by line, source the exact models where it matters, flag honest substitutions early, and send a tech who knows the gear rather than a set of cases and a wish. Every kit leaves our LA shop restrung, re-headed, biased and bench-tested.
- Guitar and bass amps, cabs and pedal platforms
- Drum kits, hardware, cymbals and percussion
- Grands, stage pianos, synths, organs and Leslie cabinets
- DI boxes, wireless packs, in-ear systems and spares
- Cartage, storage and day-of-show swap kits
