Anyone here heard of this company, or use their products? Came across them cruising the 'net... would like to replace my old beat-up cart with the solo XL, but don't have $400 to spend on it at the moment. Nice products, although I think they're asking way too much for their gig bags....

These are the guys who manufacture Damian Erskine's duo strap. Never tried the carts but I hear quality is quite good.

Yes, I was going to mention the strap as well, although I think it's been mentioned in the forums before.

Highly recommend the V-cart Solo. I can lug a 4x10 cab, pedal board, cable bag, light bag, backpack and bass in ONE trip. Best $250 I've ever spent.

The v-Cart would be my second choice, but the Solo would be better for me, 'cause as is typical of the bass player, I bring the PA as well!

Yeah I cart the subs when we run sound ourselves, so it becomes two trips then. Hey it pays for itself after a couple of gigs - save up some $$ that way and pull the trigger, you won't regret it.

How about steeling a shopping cart from Safeway?

.... wouldn't do. This is my current cart, and I'm sure some of you use this same type. This is more of the heavy-duty style, and extends to handle big loads... been using this for my carpentry jobs and gigs since 2000-or-so... tires used to be tubeless, but I had to put tubes in it years ago 'cause the rims rusted and wouldn't hold air... it's a workhorse!

In case anyone was interested in the proof. 4x10, Head, pedalboard, light bag (the big orange duffel bag) and backpack. Bass goes over the shoulder and voila, single trip:

I see what you mean!
