adriansmith247 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Hi Just a bit of fun. Here is my one This little amp stand is so useful. Best £35 I ever spent. Fits in my bag and angles my amp up a lot so I can hear it better. Perfect for those tight little performance spaces https://www.thomann.de/gb/ultimate_amp150.htm What useful stuff do you have that has not cost you a fortune? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns-bass Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) A sturdy plastic transparent crate. I never turn up to a gig without two of everything. I can see everything is in there (and replace if not). It looks professional and is easy to store and I can put my wallet, keys, and phone it it.

My pedal board is a spare piece of wood meant to be a shelf, which fits perfectly into a luxurious laptop padded bag which cost a fiver from the local Air Ambulance charity shop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 A decent custom made guitar lead, van Damme cable with gold-plated angled Neutrik jacks at both ends. Stops punters treading on/breaking them when plugged in my multi-fx pedal and keeps it tidy at the bass end. I don't know why you can't seem to buy double angled jack leads off the shelf 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fiddled with mine - I had a pair of ACS custom molds that I wasn't using, removed the attenuators and stuck these IEMs to them with clear mastic.
