Unless you’re an acoustic act, there’s no getting around having them, either.

Along with amps come extension cords, microphones, and microphone stands – all things which store really nicely your storage unit until you need them for another gig or practice. Overnight Gear for Nights on Tour If you spend nights on the road, you probably carry sleeping bags, inflatable air mattresses, and personal goods like clothing and hygiene supplies. These, too, need somewhere to crash when you’re back from your tour. Consider using your self-storage unit as a place to keep all your touring gear together, including onstage costumes you wear and supplies for your merchandise booth at shows and festivals, like binder clips and a lock box. Climate-Controlled to Protects your Instruments It’s no secret that North Miami Beach is hot and humid, both factors that can affect the integrity of your band’s instruments. Instruments are fragile. String instruments, like guitars, are especially susceptible to warping with temperature fluctuations. These changes in temperature can dramatically impact your instrument’s sound, potentially ruining it permanently. Drums can also suffer from warping in extreme temperatures. Extreme heat, cold, and high humidity levels can also damage your electronic equipment, like keyboards, electric guitar pickups, and the speakers and computers you use for creating and mixing music For All of Your Band’s Storage Needs When your band is back from a tour, you’ll need some place safe to keep all your belongings.
