I meant the bass case... but any will do, I guess.
My bass case holds enough that I've been able to get by without lugging an extra bag or box for cables, cords, etc. And I travel light (no pedals other than the SansAmp). But it does make for a heavy-ass case, especially with the 78 P inside. It's always fun to see guitarists pick that thing up.

In the case itself, my main strap, a truss rod wrench, pack of strings, short practice cord, string winder, Pedulla owners guide, some gig photos and two award certificates that I stuffed in there and never pulled back out, a couple old set lists, A friend's CD (I stuff things in there that people will give me at gigs, I guess,) a battery and far and away the most important thing, my Guitool. I love that thing. Has a little flashlight on the end, pliers, allan wrenches and a little phillips head. Best thing ever.
In my gear bag, actually a green carryon suitcase, is
A bag full of batteries,
A bag of fuses
Extra strings,
An extra strap
A cupholder for the mic stand (I drink a lot more water now I got that. Highly recommended)
my stand
power, instrument and speaker cords
Boss floor tuner
Power conditioner
Extra mic cable
Backup strap
Old set lists
Sharpies

I carry a duffel bag that usually has:

2-20' cables
2-10' cables
1-6' cable
1-4' cable
2-20' XLR cables
1-60' XLR cable
2-4ft speaker cables
1-amp power cord
1-20' extension cord
Power strip
6 effects pedals (most are large) and all necessary interconnectors and wall warts.
4(miniumum) 9volts
Maglite (a three battery model; you never know when you need to club someone in a dark alley)
Small LED flashlight for roadie work
small but complete toolkit, including electrical tools (sometimes I toss in the soldering iron)
20 picks in two sizes
Pick holder for mic stand
2-3 mics, different makes and models
guitar slide & capo
Solid silver pinkie ring
Tuner

Things get worse if I'm bringing my PA (even though its a small one).

I put red electrical tape on everything that's mine, usually on places you wouldn't suspect, to make it easier to track down after a show.

I can just fit all my gear, rig, PA and two basses (all I ever need to put on a show anywhere) into the the back of my midsize SUV, with room for a passenger (preferably female).
