What to bring to gigs?
This is aimed more at the pro musicians here. Obviously I know to bring my bass, amp, necessary cables, a backup bass, etc...
What I'm wondering is what else you bring. I'm setting up a bag that will hopefully give me what I need to deal with any foreseeable and fixable problems.
Right now I have:
Screw Drivers
Allen Keys
Crescent Wrench
Nut Driver
Needle-nose Pliers
Combination Pliers
Wire Cutter
Cable Stripper
Knife
Scissors
Duct Tape
Electrical Tape
Zip Ties
Soldering Iron (and solder and flux)
Multimeter
XLR Cable
1/4" Instrument Cable
Various Adapters
Thinking about adding some common guitar hardware, tuner cleaner (for pots), and a drum key. Some of this is aimed at problems that we could fix the night of the gig. Some is aimed at issues that we couldn't but that we could DIY while playing on the road.
What else would you have?
Thanks P T.
Added guitar and bass strings. Not sure if I can fit a neck rest. We'll have to see once I'm happy with everything else that I want to put in there. And I hadn't thought about cleaning supplies but that's a great idea.
What sort of uses would I have for a small torch? I can't think of any.

A small torch will be more handy than you'd realize.
Extra strings (obviously), an electric string winder (like the penguin or the ernie ball one), a guitar neck rest to keep your bass stable when doing maintenance
Guitar cleaning gear: finger ease, cleaning cloth, fender slick string cleaner etc
