Ibanez multitool

Yep, but I never use either of mine. I like that some of the cases has a dedicated cutout for the multi tool...that's neat.

 

These are a last-ditch effort, for when something breaks down right before a gig or something. Extremely unwieldy to use. Not just the Ibanez one but all of these multitools. They wiggle around and even a simple thing such as unscrewing a screw becomes a major pain in the ass.

 

Yeah, I got one of those with an SR "premium". I think it's more a gimmick than a practical tool. Not very comfortable.

A set of well-packaged well-selected high-quality compact tools would have got my money if there was one

 

That would grind on the body of my bass during a truss rod adjustment.
The single keys that came with it are much safer.

The real problem is that tools usually come with basses but the dealers have lost or tossed them before your sale.

 

Got few of them in colors:



There's one more color, the Aqua Blue, which seems available only in Europe. I've contacted few sellers who have it on Ebay, but none would/could ship it to Indonesia.

 

I almost always use them, thus each of my gigbags has one. Though they're not entirely complete, in which they're lacking additional string cutting tool. Still, their Phillips screwdrivers and the Allen keys are the correct sizes for any of my Ibanez basses (and guitar), thus I could minimize the risk of stripping the truss rod nut.

 

I just had to buy some wire cutters to change a string as I never brought any tools with me. Very annoying as they only had horrible massive heavy ones in stock and probably going to leave them here as I have much better at home. Took me about 10 minutes to change the string before getting the cutters because it was so long that it kept springing off while trying to wind it tight. Thankfully happened on the last song before a break.

 

Multi tools do not replace their full size counterparts, but may get you out of a bind.
