I thought I was marginally fluent in UKisms, but that was probably optimistic.

A copy of Ulysses, maybe? For set breaks?

I have never clipped replacement string ends, they just dangle there for the rest of the gig.
BTW, a soldering iron??

We go to the counter to check out and naturally they did inventory by the time we got there.
I was so f$@ing embarrassed unloading all these bottles from my guitar case that I never stole anything again in my life.
P.S.
I have taken a roll of toilet paper or scotch brite pad from work a few times but I refuse to beat myself up about it.Last edited by Stevebol; 12-12-2017 at 05:51 PM.

Lot of people have the obvious covered. Outside of the typical list:
Wallet
. Pay for band
. Extra picks
I play home-built amps so I bring an emergency unit:
. Pencil box -- yes, really -- with EHX 44 Magnum amp, power supply, speaker-cord w/adapter to fit combo cab
. Sometimes another pencil box with Hall of Fame Mini reverb, power supply & cord

I leave nothing in the car and I still worry about it.
I feel safer on the streets of NYC (at least, everywhere I've gone) than I do in that part of SF.

Usually they are so spacious you can fit all the pedals (1-4), tools, spare batteries, picks, cords, strings (spares also), strap, towel etc. inside the hard case. Less stuff to carry and worry about.

Soldering iron!
Last gig the bass players amp blew up so we used me Cube 60 amp lined out to the bass cabinet.
But the cab had a twist connector! Managed to locate a soldering iron for a fix just as we were due to go on stage for the first sesh.
So now I take a soldering iron.

Better to just have some adapter cables. I always have some Speakon to 1/4" adapters available, both ways (male and female) and a Speakon female/female connector to make an extension cable. I prefer Speakon by far, and I hate using 1/4" plugs for speakers, but sometimes you have to, depending on the amp or cabinet.
