Re: What’s in your DJ Bag?

My cd book, my sennheiser hd380pros. And maybe some rca cables for switching between serato and my cdjs. Keep it simple :slight_smile:

This thread makes me jealous. Can’t wait to have more in my bag. Right now all I have is a traktor s2 and some monitor speakers.

you wont be saying that for long, once the RGAS kicks in you’ll have a lot more, but the flip of this is you’ll be constantly broke! :smiley: worth every penny tho!! :wink:

The weirdest thing is that no matter what I have had in mine, it always seems to be mostly cables.

It feels like they’re going to eat me sometimes.

Or you’ll eat them? Cable pasta can be quite fattening so I’d stay away.

Anyway, I have:
MBP 13
2 Kontrol X1s
Audio 8
RCA Cables
USB Cables
2 USB hubs
HDJ-2000s

and more to come, hopefully.

i’ll take some shots later :wink:

1 x APC40
1 X USB Soundcard (It was a Numark DJIO - which i recently sold)
1 x USB unpowered Hub
2 x RCA - Minijack convertors
3 x RCA - RCA Cables
1 x Maxtor External 320gig HDD
1 x Sony MDR V6
1 X Millinum Laptop Stand
3 x USB - Mini USB
2 x USB M/F
4 x MP3 CD’s with all my set music - just in case
4 x Audio CD’s with around 40 tracks from my set - just in case
1 x Camera
1 x iphone Charger
1 x iPhone with Djay (just in case)
1 x 2009 Macbook pro 2.4 13’

Everything fits in here:
