Whenever I change my strings, I always put the old strings in my gigbag as the backup set. If you need to change a string in the heat of the moment, it makes it easier to put it on when it's already cut to the right length and quicker to tune when it already lost most of it's flexibility. Also in my kit: a pen and a marker in case you need to write something down, business cards, hearing protection, a few copies of the stage plan for my regular bands and guitar strings for those guitar players that forget to bring their own backup sets. ;)

Scott, you overlooked the most important item (in my opinion) - a spare bass. I always have at least 2 instruments with me at every gig. If I'm in the middle of a set, I don't have time to mess around with a broken string, dead battery, etc. I grab the spare bass and worry about fixing the problem during the break or after the show. This has saved my bacon more than a few times.

Its the worst if you snap a string on a low action bass. I mean, how bad is it to do a 1/2-1 turn of an allen key mid gig anyway? You’re releasing it, not tightening it so the strings don’t necessarily have to be loosened. A quick retune is also no big deal with a proper pedal

I'd add a metal nail file (good for nails - in an emergency also good for fret issues), nail clippers (again, good for nails and in an emergency good for clipping strings, though better for guitar strings rather than bass strings) and a capo - useful for when the guitarist has lost his and also for checking the neck relief.

When you have amps, lights, people close to the stage, and your hands are so sweaty that you can't doubleslap properly anymore, the sweats enter in your eyes and make you blind...

Old camera bags work great as gig bags. Leatherman tools have screwdrivers, knives, snippers, and pliers. A word of caution about 9v batteries - put a bit of tape over the end terminals, if not and they come in contact with metal, they will deplete, if they come in contact with steelwool, they will burn. A small sewing kit and first aid kit can be very useful too.

Great information as usual Scott! I also carry a “ tool kit”. Some things I add to your list are; D. I.box, preferably preamp type. I use Mesa subway DI. Spare speaker cables, spare power amp cable and a power strip. Here’s another good tip, Super Glue! If you happen to cut your finger somehow, it instantly seals the wound and stops the bleeding. I always have a spare bass on hand. I may, by nature of my mechanical background, be anal, but I carry a digital multimeter and soldering iron with flux core solder, and yes, I’ve had to use it.

At a live gig, I watched the lead guitarist from a punk/hardcore band break his high e string. No biggie, he changed it.....but one song on he broke it again.....no spare. He had to borrow a guitar from the next act.....that guitar was a hollow body Epi jazz box (Joe Pass, if I remember correctly....it was 25 years ago). He used that guitar but was making fun of it because he was ashamed to play it. During the next songs and he absolutely trashed the guitar to get the volume out of it. I felt sorry for the guitar and the owner, he should have been happy he was able to borrow that guitar and should have treated it with some respect. But it shows that you can even break two strings on a gig. Be prepared!

I have to play through migraines, food poisoning, and other fun, and without those things in my gig bag, it would have been a mess, literally as well as figuratively. I have had gigs that I had to use super glue on my fingertips to keep from bleeding on my strings. These things are gig-savers.

Gadgets for bassists seems pretty misleading for what is basically a "gig bag essentials" video. Nothing wrong with that though; especially if you're just starting to play out, packing a gig bag is something you might not give enough thought to. Two things I'd add: (1) A roll of gaffers tape and (2) a small flashlight. You will inevitably be in a situation where you have to tape down a setlist or some cables. Gaffers tape is better for this job than Gorilla tape/Duct tape because it is less sticky and thus less likely to leave a residue behind and possibly much up the stage area you're on. It's also black, so it hides better on stage. Cell phone flashlights can make due in a pinch, but a small bright light you can hold in your mouth in order to have both hands free is really useful if you need some light while setting up on a dark stage. Also, always have some paper and a sharpie - good for writing down last minute setlists, setlist changes, or anything else. Also, never a bad idea to pack some band-aids, just in case you cut yourself and don't want to be bleeding on your bass...which, admittedly, might be kind've cool depending on the venue and genre being played :)

Cross head and Phillips screwdrivers are slightly different and while usually OK you can knacker a screw head with the wrong one.

man what i hate is the cost of bass guitar strings ....guitarist are paying like less than 10 dollars on their strings ...bass guitar player pays over 20 dollars sometimes even higher ..i understand that regular guitar strings break more often than bass guitar strings ...but come on !!....

Battery, chord, strings, screwdriver that is it. And another bass or bass head if doing a serious gig. Of course stands. Other than that I am good. Rack has a tuner.

I once broke the E string on my bass in the middle of the set. Of course I hadn’t brought spare strings. Apparently, that happens when you decide to detune to Eb so your nice descending bass line can keep descending to the very last note. Obviously, getting that just right without missing the beat took some practice, and the strings weren’t up to that.

Instead of clippers, wrenches and screwdriver, you can get a multitool (leatherman for instance). It's really useful in all kinds of situations. It saved my ass hundreds of times, so I definitely recommend getting one

Agree, apart from clip on tuners which are ok, apart from when you need to get everyone to be quiet while you try and find a low D. Definitely use a pedal instead - also means no one has to hear you tuning too.

@@joemccambridge2759 generally found them to be ok at practice, but when gigging in a pub with all the noise I have found it to be painful to tune the lower strings, especially drop D. From memory I used a D’addario clip on - so it may be it just wasn’t that great. Pedals for me are a way better option
