Members djs7685 Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 I'm currently getting my backup gear and accessories ready to go to start gigging again, and just figured I'd see what everyone else uses and what you take with you on tour, playing local gigs, or whatever else it is that you do. Right now I just have a small crate and the storage compartment of a couple guitar cases that I use, but I'm looking into a storage box or portable tool box to possibly use. Inside will be: a few packs of strings, extra patch cables, fuses, preamp and power amp tubes, wire cutters, screwdrivers of the necessary sizes, allen wrench set, extra strap, multimeter and bias probe, and picks. How about you guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NinjaRaf Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 Tool box is the way to go, I think, because you can organize the {censored} out of it and make everything easily accessible. I used this black bag that I got from MF. Had all kinds of cables, zipties, strings, cap, slide, batteries, extension cord, whatever the hell I thought I might need. Never used anything in it at a gig...not even once Better safe than sorry, I guess. But next time, itll just be my guitar case and my 5150 212 combo. Im pretty sure I can fit whatever I need in the guitar case at this point....which would be a couple packs of strings and a couple of cables.

Members this is paul Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 I just use a smallish backpack right now. Holds my cables (3 patch, 1 speaker, 1 power, 2 minis), whatever pedals I bring, screwdriver, strings, picks, earplugs, etc...I need to find a padded case for my new Bogner pedal. I don't want it to get beaten up like my others. They all inevitably lose knobs from getting just thrown in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members this is paul Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 I should point out that I bring a backup amp and guitar, so I don't need to bring as much stuff in my pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nwright Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 I use a Fender Accessory bag to carry my extra cables, picks, etc.I use a backup amp, so I dont bring all the tube/bias probe and all that, and I have a pedalboard all my pedals are mounted in.

Members Phrophus Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 After I got my fleshlight, I modded and repurposed my old blow-up doll for all my cables and extra shizz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Marc G Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 I have a small water proof nylon bag I pack stuff in, but if I want to move super light I can pack the essentials in my gig bag and front pocket of my pedaltrain bag.

Members n9ne Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 I've got a small Anvil-style case that carries all my assorted crap. I've thought about switching to a tool box or a bag....but the Anvil case stacks better, and it can also serve as an amp stand when necessary.

Members diocide Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 I use a briefcase looking toolbox I got from home cheapo. It looks like a briefcase, made out of chipboard and some sort of metal covering. Works well. I've had it for years and it's still intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cap'n'crunch Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 I wrap stuff up in large hankerchief and tie it to the end of a stick. You can carry it over one shoulder and carry your guitar in the other hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PDbyS Posted December 27, 2012 Members Share Posted December 27, 2012 Cheap luggage bag w/ wheels from Target. It has my bass amp, cables, power adapter, some tools, various picks, and my pedalboard if I decide to bring it. Spare strings are in the gigbag.
