xilddx Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) [quote name='tonyquipment' timestamp='1364568612' post='2028295'] just my bass and box of effects. what else do you really need? [/quote] That's me too. One bass, POD X3 LIVE, two cables, small tool box, small bass stand, 4 gang extension, small towel, used spare strings, silk gloves, Old Holborn, spare lighter and a spare pack of Rizla. No amp, ever. I go direct from the POD. Edited April 5, 2013 by xilddx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low End Bee Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 In addition to all the normal stuff. A small towel - Suits are hot on stage. Optimistic felt tip pens - for signing CD's and female bits. A pork pie hat - Take it on stage. turn it upside down and voila. A pefect place to put pocket contents - keys/mobile/change/wallet Band business cards - For drunk people to remember what the band they saw the following day.

paul_5 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Revised list - if I'm not using my amp then the absolute minimum I'll take to a gig is: Bass, DHA VT1EQ. Sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I'm sure I responded to a thread like this before, but in addition to all the essentials that I lug into the gig, I also keep a bag in the well under my car's boot, containing a mic lead, a jack lead, a kettle lead, and a mains 4-way.
