What's in your M80???

I was just thinking about all the stuff that I pack up into my cases when I go out on a gig. I've gone to gigs missing some very very essential things...like capos, extra strings...yeah I totally learned my lesson. So this got me thinking...what exactly do I have stuffed in my M80?

1. Instrument - Yeah this one is pretty self explanatory. I've got a plethora of instruments that I use and sometimes I bring more than one. It's a good thing we just came out with the double cases.



2. Picks - Never leave home without any of these unless you want to be stuck asking the audience for one, or you don't mind using a credit card.



3. Extra strings - Ever break a string and also break the string on your back-up? Yeah.



4. Capo - For those of us that have songs played in weird keys and or use alternate capo tunings.



5. String winder - Here is a device that makes changing broken strings a whole lot faster. It even has a string cutter on it.



6. Earplugs - I've played gigs where you will definitely need these.



7. Cables - This could mean guitar, effects, speaker...anything related to making your amp/guitar/bass work. I usually stick this in my utility bag, but it doesn't hurt to have some in your M80.



8. Pens/markers - You definitely need some type of writing tool.



9. Flashlight - I have a small led flashlight that I keep in there at all times. It is definitely helpful.



10. Tools - This could mean allen wrenches, screwdrivers...whatever you need to adjust trussrods, action, or fix something on your amp.



11. Extra tubes - For those of us who use tube amps. Ever have one blow out on you at a gig? Yeah, no more sound for you. Hey man, make it work. Stuff that quad of 6550's somewhere.
