Equipment Hire
Backline is available for hire both to use in the studios and to take away from the building for gigs. We have an small but extensive range of equipment comprising names such as Ampeg, Mesa Boogie, Marshall, Fender, Premier, Ludwig, Korg and Zildjian. Transport can be arranged via a courier company.
We also have a small PA ready to go for outside hire. Prices available upon request.
All equipment is regularly checked, maintained and serviced. The Joint minimum outside hire period is one day. So long as gear is returned before noon of the following day (regardless of when it is collected) then only one day hire is charged. After noon will incur a further half day hire fee. Any hire over 4 days in one 7 day week is charged at 4 days.
We are constantly updating and acquiring new gear. Please look at the offers and news for any new items in. We can get hold of almost anything for you with enough notice.
For more information, please see the backline section of our FAQ page.
(All prices subject to VAT at the prevailing rate.)
