maxrossell Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Mute/Tuner. Don't have to break the bank for a good one, and I think they're necessary if you're having to tune up when there's other noise going on. Quote
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 [list] [*]planet waves SOS tuner - can tune up accurately in silence [*]shower hose washers (a quid for 20) to replace all my grolsch thingies [*]microfibre cloth from the 99p shop to wipe down the strings after a sweaty gig [*]behringer limiter pedal [*]spare 9v batteries [*]bass string winder [/list] Quote

Eight Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 I recently bought one of those grip/finger/callus builder things and its actually helping quite a lot. £16 from a shop, can be had for much less online. Quote

lemmywinks Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Got a Seiko keyring tuner for £5.50, very accurate. Great for noodling around the house, esp as my classical guitar refuses to stay in tune for longer than 5 minutes! Quote

lemmywinks Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 One of those little tool kits from the pound shop is always handy. Normal and mini screwdrivers, pliers and pincers. All rubbish quality but a life saver in an emergency Quote

Where from?...... there supposed to be Twice that?...[/quote] A local guitar shop (who sadly has fallen into disrepute), i've bought a bit of stuff from him in the past (2+ grand) and bought two at the same time, one for my nephew who showed an interest in learning the guitar. Never checked the price, i'd be happy to pay that for it though. It's a lot more accurate than other portable tuners i've used and is less finicky too. Really easy to use and gets you in concert pitch in no time at all Quote
pete.young Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Clip-on blue LED light, supposedly for lighting up the fingerboard but makes you look like you've got luminous smurf hands too. Quote
