singemonkey

You lost me at sharkfins...

Kush

I keep lint free cloths, the appropriate capo and preferred plectra in the various guitar cases for each guitar. Oh and there is a soldering kit that's usually in that bag too, I prefer to take the "gun/condom approach" to these things. (gun/condom approach = better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.)

Stoffeltoo

Aah! Mr Livingstone I presume?

Thanks for sharing Kush!

I have found that "moonshine" causes me to play badly, very bad for motor skills. I thinks its true for most people, sipping on something before you play, is a bad idea, there is plenty of time to do that when you don't have a gig.
