EQUIPMENT & BACKLINE
BAY Custom Studios maintains a broad working collection of studio equipment, instruments and backline for recording and production projects.
The aim is not to use everything on every session, but to select the tools that best serve the sound, performance and practical needs of the music.
Equipment is allocated according to the project and working location. If a particular item is essential, mention it in your enquiry so availability can be confirmed before booking.
If your project requires an instrument, amplifier or other piece of backline that is not listed below, BAY Custom Studios can often source it specifically for the session.
This is subject to availability and may involve additional hire, transport or sourcing costs. Any additional costs will be explained and agreed with you before the booking is confirmed.
