I have a project coming up in a couple of weeks for which I’ll need to hire a small list of gear. I am tracking a band in a (secure) farmhouse out of Melbourne over a four day Weekend. If you are one of these people who hire gear out I’d love to hear from you. It isn’t a long list, and I have noted the things I am looking for down below.
I don’t care if you are a pro-hire place or not (in fact I prefer that you aren’t). Taking in mind that I’ll be hiring for four days I am hoping you may be amenable to working out something on the rate for the weekend.
Microphones:
4 x SM57
1 x Coles 4038
1 x U47or U89 (maybe)
1 x Beyer 88
Pre-amp:
1 x API 3124
or
4 channels of another high-end pre configuration. (e.g. Neve, Chandler, Aurora, SSL, Telefunken etc.)
Miscellaneous:
5 x weighty stands (2 extendable enough for OH)
1 x kick mic stand
1 x Multi-core (that terminates one end to a box of xlr inputs)
Regarding the preamp, I don’t exclusively have my heart set on the API. I just chose the API for being compact. I’m happy to look at something else for a comparable price/quality.
Many thanks,
Spall

ok, so I've got stands, 2x multicores, mic cables, preamps and mikes that might suit and I'll be interested in hiring as usually they sit in my closet for a sizable chunk of the year as I usually hire studio and these go out for the odd location setting. Pm me and we'll talk.

Yes I've borrowed from SS before and I will get in touch there if need be but I also thought there may be some regular pro users out there who may even be keen to hire out some of their gear for instance. Not to put Kaj in super-hero status (okay, maybe he is) but I'll see what kind of responses I get first.
