What's your quick-exit stage setup?

[darwin-bass]

Sometimes you're just part of the show rather than the whole show. When you're done the show goes on. But you are done and ready to go home. You want to finish your set, walk off the stage and head home. Not wait around for the whole show to be over so you can go back on stage to collect your stuff.

What is your setup for a one-trip exit from the stage?

Obvious answer is to have only your bass plus a cable. Unplug from the DI and walk off with the bass strapped on and the cable in your hand.

But what if you have IEM earbuds (wired) plus a floor pedal or three?

Obvious answer is obvious. K. I. S. S. and leave the extras at home.

If I have no pedals and I'm just using someone else's amp (headliner or venue's), unplug, case it up and git. If I'm using pedals, unplug, case it up, throw 'em in a bag and then git. A friend of mine used an old suitcase that he'd throw cases, pedals and all into.
I rarely use pedals on a gig, so for me it's never been a big deal. But if I do, they just go in a sort of glorified shopping bag that says Marshall on it. Sometimes I might go through the trouble of wrapping a couple in bandanas before they go in the sack.
