That as it is said. Not all of us has the $$ to jump off a bridge every time something cool comes out. There needed to be someone that nationally that will rent at a reasonable price all these latest and greatest trends.

I would love to buy 30+ led par cans to do needed big production up lighting. I only get the call 2 times a year why should I shell out $120 a fixture? Most time my uplighting sales are my 4 colorpallets behind the bridal table. If needed I have 12 old school par 38's, but it would be great if someone wanted 24 DMX controlled Par's someone can rent them to me and they make cash and I can still make a few $$ for my time.

I would love to buy Bliss Lights but no one has ever asked for them. If there was a DJ equipment network and owner can provide pretty pictures for us to post on our web sites and sell the lights. Again we would pay a price and make a few $$ and the equipment owner would also.

Monograms, there are a ton of fixtures out there. I have cheap Chauvet Gobo Sx but they look sweet putting 2 custom gobo's on the dance floor but if someone needed they I'd ship them out anytime I wasn't using them for the weekend.

Projectors are so expensive to rent. I have 2 they are decent 2500 lumen's I would be willing to send them out when needed also.


Can something like this be done?

Maybe an equipment company wants to rent equipment to us guys that can"t afford to jump on every bandwagon.


It would be nice to get gear when needed a few times a year.
 
We have a music store here that rents gear other than instruments. But slection is very limited.

Most of their speakers are Yorkville, not terrible but they don't have the powered 18" subs what I would need from time to time when I run bands. Their passive 18"s are only 300 watt, that's useless.

They have a nice selection of recording gear, great for when I want to track a demo.

Lighting they have nothing. Only item they rent is a Chauvet 4 bar.


I don't think audio gear would be cost effective. Lighting, video projection, and even screens would be possible.
 
There are national A/V companies that do this, but the ideal cleint is a hotel or corporation seeking support for a week, month, or longer - not a DJ who only needs its for one day.

Daily rentals are besthandled locally. Look for Theartical dealers, Staging companies, and Audio-Visual suppliers in your area. There are likely to be some within driving distance of you.
 
look best thing is see what hire company can hire you these new toys for a few weeks and if you dont like what you see or use then you know why your NOT going to spend a grand or more or less on

anyway its what I do to make sure I like what I want to buy...
