Portlett Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Well the thrad title is pretty self explanatory, but was wondering how much a devent pa system would cost for me band to play gigs and the like?
Dan_Dare Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 fuck loads. you need big speakers, subs, mics, amps and probably a decent mixer thrown in, which cost the earth.
Charlie Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 A hell of a lot. What you should do if you really want one is hire out the stuff to begin with and the money you make from the gig put towards buying one. I know a guy who has all the stuff, lights too and he's paid well over £1000 to get all the stuff. Probably even more than that, the mixing deck was £100, he has 2 huge speakers, 2 smaller ones, strobe lights, other moving lights, sound activated lights etc.
Portlett Posted August 30, 2008 Author Posted August 30, 2008 well yeh I was guessing it would be around that price, was hoping it would be more around £800. Thing is you can't play most places unless you have a p.a so until we get one we can't really gig much and I guess it would pay itself back after a while.

There are loads of places where you can hire one from though and not too big a cost.
