LXbydesign Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 OK, Adam What do you normally hire in for your £2500 to £4000?Because even looking at Stage LX (not the cheapest for hire by far) you could put together a fairly decent LX rig for under £500. 10 x Selecon fresnels @ £9.35 each for stage cover - £93.5010 x Selecon Profiles @ £8.80 each for FoH - £88.8010 x Par 64 @ £7.50 each - £75.00Jester 24/48 @ £85.004 Digidim 6-packs @ £27.50 each - £110.00Allow £40 or so for cable and that's your £500.Now, if you can't do something half decent with that little lot (plus your existing inventory) then I'm sorry, but someone else should be brought in to run the LX for the school shows.E2A - Looking at those SLX prices again, it isn't clear whether those ARE weekly hire rates, so they MAY be dailies. BUT the key is to play on the contacts, shop around, and look for the discounts that almost always are there. Thats quite right , but dont forget you need to add VAT and delivery / collection on top of that - so suddenly £500 becomes about £650!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ynot Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Thats quite right , but dont forget you need to add VAT and delivery / collection on top of that - so suddenly £500 becomes about £650!!!I suspect that the school will be VAT registered so that shouldn't be a major consideration.And they're likely to have access to school transport for collection/return....
