Any Buskers Here?

Haven’t seen any mention of busking. It’s just on my bucket list. Thought I would see what others are doing for guitars and equipment.

I do it occasionally.

I use whichever guitar I'm in the mood to play (either my 314ce or one of my Martins).

I have a Carvin Stagemate amp that's battery powered. In this pic I also have a music stand because I was doing all Christmas songs, but usually I don't use one.

I just have:

Mic and mic stand
Battery powered amp and stand

It's a lot of fun, but check out the laws on where you plan to busk, because you may need a license and there may be restrictions on where you can play. It's completely illegal in my town, but the small town just inland from me actively encourages busking, but it's restricted to certain areas and they require a license ($15 per year).
