Backline Hire

We are now stocking a range of backline equipment for hire or rent including guitar and bass amps, combos, keyboards, drums and percussion.
Backline hire or rental is commonly used by bands on tour, allowing them to hire the equipment they need locally and thereby cutting down on their transport costs. It is also useful for local bands when they are playing larger venues and would like to use either larger or more professional equipment for that gig.
We also have access to a wider range of equipment through our associations with other hire companies. Please get in touch if you are looking for something that is not listed.
Prices shown are quoted in GBP and are exclusive of VAT. All Hires are subject to our Conditions of Hire, copies of which are available on request. We reserve the right to change prices and specifications without notice. Please call to check latest rates.
Delivery is available throughout Scotland and the UK.
