Toasted Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Gigbag - what goes in yours? Not the one with your bass in, the one with the cables. I'm looking at filling mine out a bit more. Currently put in: - a spare for each lead - a full set of metric and imperial allen keys - a spanner that fits straplocks - a spare set of strings - band banner - cable ties to attach banner - knife to cut down banner after set What do you put in yours? Also, any recommendations for a bag? Currently using my 10 year old school satchel. Rawk N Roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urb Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 (in my bass case it's just my amp.... which is a Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0) - doh sorry - I didn't see the full OP heading - I usually just take one lead, music stand, music, kettle lead, speakon cable, and one or two effects pedals (which I usually end of NOT using).

JTUK Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) Tools for the bass Allen keys ande multi screwdriver, fuses etc ..........I carry a tool kit in the car which would cover a lot of things. I don't bring that in to the gig unless we need to do some major work. Tuner Tone Hammer used as a pre and DI Mic and cable Gtr cables x 3 ( 2 Spares) Spare Kettle lead Speakers Cables Bass pad...although I have so much at home I have to review this depending on the gig/dep etc. Another pr of strings..NEW Batteries Ear plugs 4 way. I'll probably pack cleaning cloths for the bass and have a towel for me. That would be my personal bag carry. I would also have strings etc in my bass gig bags. Music stands etc... go elsewhere.

Earbrass Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I use a cheap plastic sports hold-all type bag: useful for stuffing clothes into that you've worn on the journey to the venue but will shed before going on stage. For a gig: 2 * guitar leads 1 * Korg Pitchblack tuner 1 * Behringer BDI21 (just in case) 1 * smaller bag containing: screwdriver set, allen key set, spare set of strings, spare batteries + usually whatever book I'm reading at the time - there's usually a lot of sitting around waiting for things to happen. (and if I'm taking an amp to the gig, probably a mains extension/multi-socket lead. But I've never had to yet...) For rehearsal: All the above plus 1 * guitar stand 1 * music stand 1 * folder containing all our songs + pen And I think that's everything apart from my bass and my combo.

gafbass02 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 After yearsof carrying spare everything for everyone I now take one bag, it's a double igig which carries two jazz basses, amp head, two long leads, two short leads, speakons and power lead. And a DI or compressor pedal if there's a chance I may have to lend my amp. That's it. A multitool is attached to the straps on the bag and my pedal board has an extension lead attached and another one in the front pocket. One or Two cabs in covers, done. ;0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
