    Minus the thong and your fingerless gloves, pretty similar stuff is in mine. Add a few spare power cords, spare set of strings and a winder, a music stand that folds up to about the size of a carton of 120 (size, not count) cigarettes, a box wrench of the size to tighten Schaller strap lock nuts, and a roll of T.P. (better safe than sorry...). Pretty standard stuff. My basses travel in hard cases, my gig bag was probably intended to be a gym bag when it was made.

    The question I have to ask, were you really curious or just looking to brag about the thong? ;)

    I don't have a gig bag, I have one of those rack mount drawers. I keep extra pedals, tools, chords, set lists, strings, straps, things like that. Basically a survival kit.

    Thanx, I almost forgot about the strings and string winder, my mind was on the thong. Those
    strings have been in there as long as the panties.
    There a set of Anthony Jackson six string's. I won in a contest years ago,I have never broken a string or had to replace one yet. My favorite is still the "G" string.LOL. Anyway
    I did not want to brag about the panties, that was a long time ago, I'm fat & have a bald spot now, no more 110 lb babes like me anymore.
    I really was curious to know how much stuff everyone else drags around with them.That we never wind up using ourselves, cant tell you how many 9-volt batteries I gave to freinds over the years. :)

    Instrument cable
    Tuner
    Patch cable for tuner

    Everything else (batteries, Leatherman, picks, earplugs, strings, tools, watch, spare strap, toothpicks and superglue ect) is in the "Stuff Box." So named, because it's where all my bass stuff goes.

    Side note: only use picks when fingers start to bleed.
    Side Side note: toothpicks and glue in case of strap button faliure.
    Side Sider note: Never play a show without earplugs. Ever.

    Heh, I'm also the kind of guy who puts accesories in a separate bag. But in my gig bag i usually put what i call "the moment" stuff, mostly written stuff like paper and napkins with whatever came on the spot: setlists, business cards, phone numbers from those that don't use or need business cards;)and etc., meaning whatever object that for whatever reason i chose to take with me. Kinda like trophies, or spoils from a gig.

    And no, no panties as of recently:p

    The Show Choir Season Gig Bag
    1 EB6166 Vol. Pedal
    2 EB Slinky 5s
    1 EB Polishing Cloth
    1 Set of Allen Wrenches
    1 String Cutter
    1 Peg Winder
    1 Tuner
    1 Spare Cable

    Marching Band Gig Bag
    All that plus:
    Painters Plastic Sheet [bout 8X10], if it rains, my equipment gets protected
    Hand Warmers
    Gloves [cut off finger]
    Sun Screen
    extra pencils & paper
    Hand Towel [wipe down the upright]

    Edit: During marching band season our Percussion Director [lord of tempo Mr.P] carries around a condensed set of screw drivers and assorted wrenches. This guy is prepared for anything percussion related minus if a shell was to randomly explode. :D

    The reason for the 2 different ones are since certain things make plenty of sense to take with me during Marching Band but don't make sense during First Edition. If i can think of anything else i'll edit my post.
