Since alot of discussion has gone into this, I thought I'd start things off with a pic of Rose, my Rogue 5, on her way to a gig. Y'all join in!

Sorry about the poor photo editing. I guess ya'll can tell it's trash day.

Alas, due to the need of hauling PA's and such, no sporty ride for me. A Grand Caravan with large subwoofer is my steed. It helps pay for my Alembic addiction.

Danno,

The vehicle of choice for me as well...Only I'm also married with family, so Mild-Mannered working dad by day, Bassist/Keyboardist by night

We have the obligatory Suburban (its in the CCRs for our community, I think!), but I got a Bam 210, since its usually just a stage monitor, and it fits on end in the front seat, my Alembic just fits across the back seat, and I don't need airbags because I'm wedged in! Do I need to use sunblock on my bass if I'm cruising with the top down?

811952 rides upright (in the hard case) in one of the back seats of a blue Honda Element. I can fit most other stuff in the Element if I take out the other back seat. Otherwise, most of my stuff rides in the drummer's trailer with the other amps and P.A. system.

My Alembics haven't learned to drive yet - well, they can drive a hellava groove - but they can sure get on the furniture!

The back seat of my Cadillac STS is where you'll find my Excel. That is when the dog isn't there!

I just bought another Jeep Cherokee, a 2001, just for the purpose of moving my gear. My entire rig & bass fit in the back, but with no room to spare.

I change cars every 90 days, but this is the coolest one I've had in a while. This picture was taken in October. The bass in the bed is not an Alembic, but I didn't wanna get left out of this thread, so use your imagination!! These pictures were taken as soon as I got home from picking up this bass at UPS and an hour before I gigged with it.

Peace,

James

The Car: It's a 2004 Chevrolet SSR. 300 hp 5.3L V8 (think Corvette with a truck bed). That's a power operated convertible hardtop.
Here's a link to the webpage - http://www.chevrolet.com/ssr/

The Bass: It's a fretless Hanewinckel 6 string. It's the 2nd one on the left.

Peace,

James

James,
I always lay my basses on their faces when using gig bags, so as to take the pressure off of the headstock and neck. Nice basses and truck you've got there...
