DaytonaRik Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Spare bass, leads (you can never have too many leads), head - basically cos sh*t happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubit Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 You don't need a spare head man! A DI does the trick and fits in your case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierreganseman Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 yes you do... you don't wanna be the one stuck on stage with a broken strings / none working bass.... end up being "that guy" and its basically the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK Jale Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) If I played with a pick in a loud, loud band, I'd consider a spare bass always... Equally, on any massive gig or any pro tour (pffff! As if), then for sure. But that's not my level, so I take strings, at least two spare leads (one 20-footer) and a preamp/DI stuffed in my amp carry box. Haven't needed any of them in years, but IMO it pays to be on the slightly fanatical side about leads and jack sockets, which I am Edited December 18, 2014 by KK Jale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulWarning Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 must say I'm surprised how many people don't take a spare, transport issues permitting, how much does a second hand squier cost? £100? It'll get you out the sh*t, and I have seen basses pack up at gigs, and guitars, it happened to our guitard, bad connection on his Gibson selector switch, and yes, he had a spare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low End Bee Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 After a DR A string went ping and I had to faff about re-stringing in a 40 minute set I always take a spare. No crowd wants to hear me shouting '****ing hell' and watch me rummage around for 5 minutes. Only time I take one now is if there's another 4 string right handed fretted player on the bill I know and we'll agree in advance to cover each other.
