Recommended Posts

At the moment it's full of clothes and books because the drawers are for important stuff like cables and batteries but when going to a gig/practice/jam it conatins

Tuner
Spare Strings
Allen keys
screwdriver
picks (just in case)
Maybe a small pedal or 2
Dustcloth
Cables
Straps
Buff
Lemon Oil if i have some
Soldering Iron
Solder
Solder braid (never hurts to be prepared)
Batteries
Gaffer tape
Wire strippers/cutters
Tic Tacs (Spearmint only)
Various papers, tabs setlists etc
Scale and chord books
The strongest Painkillers i can find (Bad back)
The strongest Booze i can find (nothing under 50%)
And a pair of womens underwear (not mine, they wound up there after the best post-gig party ever, they never leave the bag, to remind me of good times)

And the bass of course

One and the same, surely?

I'm trying to rationalise what I carry things in but it's all a bit up in the air. Generally use an aluminium case and in it is

Leads (instrument x2 at least and mains x2)
Music stand light which I never use because the guitarist's got my music stand
9v battery
2B|!2B box
Cable tester, unless it's on my desk
Last 5-string set that I took off


What I need to add are

Crosshead screwdriver so I can actually change the battery on the Tsai if it goes flat
Tuner, because I haven't quite got enough for one per guitar case and I have been known to turn up at gigs with two basses, neither of them with a tuner in the case
Towel
