What does everyone use to carry and keep all the misc stuff that goes to gigs and rehearsals with you? I have been using a small rolling carry-on sized bag, but it is not easy to keep organized, it always seems to end up like I just tossed everything inside. The contents usually include a small amp (now a Shuttle 9) strings, gaffer tape, cables, tuner, cable tester, multi-meter, batteries, stand etc.
It is about shot and I am looking for ideas for a better replacement. |

However, our singer has a big, old, leather satchel that he keeps extra cables and whatnot in. It looks like something out of Indiana Jones.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Fort Collins, Colorado | | This bag on Ebay got my attention - I may get one. The price is right.
I like to carry spare speaker and guitar cables, batteries, AC cables, and a fairly complete tool kit, as well as gaffer's tape, super glue, Johnson & Johnson waterproof tape for fingers (just in case), and whatever else moves me. http://cgi.ebay.com/Musicians-Gear-E...item2c51ce0d0f
Same price at Musicians Friend, but in two colors: http://accessories.musiciansfriend.c...Bag?sku=541773

I've used one of those too. The only drawback is that it isn't padded. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
