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.

Mains tester plug.

So much dodgy mains around I gave up taking one out. then again I play double bass so way less likely to get fried (I hope)

 

Anyone got a recommendation for a sturdy rucksack to fit amp head and cables, stands etc?

Thats a great idea. And one for every other small item I own! 

It has saved partners bacon more than a few times to be able to geolocate her keys

Sue Ryder, Unicef, Cats Protection etc.  I always hit the charity shops when looking for something like this.  I recently got a Samsonite holdall for leads etc for £5.

All I want for Christmas…..  iiiiisssssss….. 🎶an AirTag for my car keys 

Mine are permanently chained to a belt loop with a dog chain that I purchased in ~1991 so I didn't lose my keys in the Pro-Pain moshpit at the Marquee...

Still going strong!

Yup. 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.

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 🤷‍♂️

KZ ZS10 Pro IEM’s. Bang for buck difficult to beat. 

 

Totally.  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.  Wow.
