What do you keep in your guitar pockets?


Steven Tari

Recommended Posts

Strings in each case, appropriate for the given instrument.

 

Picks in the steel string cases, finger and thumb picks in the 12.

 

Pitch pipe in the EA nylon string, tuner in the baby's case.

 

Straps in the solidbody and baby's case.

I keep a strap in the pocket of each of my guitar cases' date=' nothing else. Everything else goes in the gig bag. I pick up whichever guitar I want, grab the the gig bag (briefcase size), and I always have everything I need.

 

Now if the question was "what's in your gig bag?". That would be a long list.[/quote']

 

 

This. Not a bag but a box. On wheels.

I took the 14 day Activia challenge btw.

 

How do you feel? You know Activia is just plain old yogurt with a boat load of sugar. Better off eating plain Greek yogurt with some granola and the occasional rye bread or cracker. Rye is a pre-biotic.

 

Apparently I need to keep more of my pics in the case instead of the little watch pocket on my Levi's - My wife was complaining that five pair of jeans she was washing all had GUITAR pics in that small pocket!

 

I always keep a spare pick in the watch pocket of my Levi's too. Dress pants kill me because there is no place to put that pick and the last thing I want is to have it mucking around with dirty coins.

 

My guitar case?

 

- set of strings

- extra picks

- old synthetic ivory nut (need to throw this out. does not hold a candle to nut)

- two small screw drivers: one for the TRC and one to adjust saddles on the bridge

- truss rod wrench

- dunlop strap loks

- a pen

- guitar repair recipes

 

My strap sits coiled in the that space up with the headstock.

A couple of sets of strings, picks and the strap that goes which goes with that particular guitar. I keep all the rest of the crap (tubes, a couple 9v batteries and 1 Spot, wire cutters, string winder, screwdrivers, cleaning cloths, patch cables and pedals) in an Anvil case except long cables which won't fit.

The usual:

Strap' date=' set of strings, string winder, picks, any allen wrenches needed, #2 Phillips screwdriver and 9 volt batts if it's a guitar with active pups.

 

Anything beyond that is in my gig bag that has more of the above plus additional tools/supplies for guitar and amp repair.

As well as the holy Gorilla brand duct tape. [/quote']

Never go to a gig without a roll of duct tape.

I usually just have a strap, capo, tuner, slide, maybe some strings, maybe some pics. I keep my cables and pedals and power adapters in a really old camera case with a strap. It's pretty small and it fits all my stuff (except for the Bigg Muff) really nicely.

 

To be honest I'm not really that organized like some of you guys. I just kinda throw whatever crap I need in there.

I had a call a few years ago from a guy who locked his case and couldn't remember the code. He was in a panic... his weed was in the pocket!

Electronic tuner, assortment of picks, capo, mini-amp, suction cup pick-up for the tuner and mini-amp, adapter for mini-amp, ear phone for mini-amp, nail file, nail clipper and desiccant bag.

 

I make use of those little eye glass cases, no longer than 4". They are made for fold-up reader glasses. They sell in dollar stores for a dollar. I use them to organize my box. It all fits.

But as the fire did not consume the bush, it produced no smoke.

...oh and one of those Silica Gel Packs for when I get the munchies. Sure they SAY to never eat them, but I just can't help myself. They look so darn tasty...

 

[lol] I Laughed Out Loud!

 

 

 

In my case pocket I just have a couple of packs of strings and a lint-free cloth. One case will have my small box of silver coins that I use for picks and a bottle of lemon-oil.

 

Each guitar has it's own specific strap and these are folded over the headstock in the case-curve.

 

All the rest (cables and 'stuff') is transported inside the base of the combo cabinet..

 

As I don't own any pedals; slides; capos and so on there's not very much to carry.
