Sign in to disble this ad
Yeah there's probably already a list like this on the site, but I'm new to the site and just getting back into gigging after several years off. And I don't mean your guitar and amp, etc... I mean all that little **** that everybody needs at some point in some gig somewhere.
So let's go. Add your own:
duct tape
extra cables (long and short)
flashlight (and batteries)
9v batteries
extra strings
pen and paper
business cards for the band
cel phone
more duct tape
bottled water (so you don't have to pay $3 for it at the bar) |

Also, several Sharpies. People always want our singer to sign stuff (and occasionally the rest of us), and she'll bring somewhere between none and one.
I used to pack extra tubes, but now I just bring my Barber Linden EQ and a DI.
If I were single, I'd bring some condoms. Fortunately, that ship sailed long ago. |
