    That surely leaves you only able to play acoustic gigs then. ;)
    Errr no.... I can operate with no power supply to my board in an emergency.
    I suspect @Sporky was also referring to the power to your amp, mic, PA, etc...
    Izzackly.

    Without power, all electric guitars are pretty quiet.

    I am sure that there must have been glitches with Variaxes, but I am equally sure that valves and fuses have blown in amps. Strings break. Paranoia only gets you so far... ;)

    So I'm paranoid now am I ????. No sorry, I have had the problem of a dead battery causing a problem so, now no batteries, I have had the problem of the powersupply getting kicked (by a punter) and all my pedals going off, so now Neutrik Powercon with PS under the board velcro'd in place. I have also seen guitarists lose their guitars mid solo because they stood on their lead which was wrapped aound the strap and pulled it off the button, and I have seen guitarists stand on their lead and unplug themselves. Thats why i use strap locks. Always got a second guitar ready on a stand incase I break a string.

    I also stopped using George L's for similar reasons, I had to rip apart by board before our first set becuase I'd got a loud hum, turned out to be a dodgy end, so I now use Lava.

    Its not paranoia, its common sense. Limit the possibilites for a f**k up. Enjoy the gig.......

    Indeed, the PA won't work either so no gig......

    You can only realistically prepare for those contingencies that you have control over. I aint taking a battery powered PA.....

    Nah, I'd say well prepared - it wasn't a serious comment, hence the smiley.

    But I think that we've gotten a long way from the original question.
