i don't carry extra strings YET i still carry string winder and string cutter :roll:
one of the most important things i carry is this neat leatherman tool thing, it's kind of like a swiss army knife in scissors form, swiss army SCISSORS if u like. acts as my universal screwdriver

actually bass strings are hard to snap ..
BUT ..
i've seen bass strings snap before ... e.g. louis johnson on his slap bass solo ..
hahahhaha .. but it's no harm to carry a spare set of strings around ..
like you i don't either .... cos usually i'm a fingerstyle fella .. i don't torture my bass .. =P ..

haha i broke a bass G string before. Remembered that was my first jam session during sec sch. Was trying to tune the bass, kept tuning and wondered why no response from the tuner, until eventually the string snapped.
After that realised the volume knob was totally turned off

that's a g string i suppose?
I stretched/unwound an E string unwittingly at a studio before. I carried the house bass around the studio by it's E string, cos i tot bass strings were invincible, cannot be broken, when i first picked it up
It was quite embarrasing when i took the bass to the studio owner to have the string replaced. I just said i "plucked too hard"

all i need is a tuner..
some fender one i got at swee lee.
although the only time i need to tune need is when the super cold aircon in my church kicks in and changes the tuning.

i use a pedal tuner, but usually bring a clip tuner as *ahem* one of the guitarists will probably forget to bring theirs 
other than tt, extra patch cable, extra AAA and 9v batteries, xlr cable, small clip on lamp for chart-yes-light-no situations. i often forget to keep a pen or two handy for last min set / song changes.
oh, and of course, our mascot 'Milo'...
