    What's in your gig pack?

    I just read this thread:

    http://www.thefenderforum.com/forum/...n-your-gig-bag

    I liked it. Well, what do you bring to a gig in your pack?

    Mine has:

    a spare cable

    Picks

    An extra strap

    spare link cables for pedals

    A Shure SM57 and cable for the amp (if necessary)

    A handful of energy plugs

    Stickers (my band's logo, to give away to the crowd and bar staff).

    I still carry powder if it's hot out.

    I also have an outlet tester and a voltage sensor. You can't always count on the electrical wiring in the place to be good but at least you can be aware of any issues.
