I don't get this either? Not borrowing gear is fair enough as some people don't like sharing expensive stuff with people they don't know. Also what is ridiculous about a 4/5 band evening sharing amps? You could be looking at 25 amps in the room and needing a set up/sound check, it's ridiculous to not want a bit of gear share in these scenarios.

This is why I always used to take a photo of my settings before lending an amp to someone on the same bill.
I've never had a problem with lending a backline, certainly not cabs. Amps are fine too, and I've lent a pedal before. I think it's an unwritten rule that you at least bring a guitar though.

I don't like stacking amps, it greatly increases the chances of something falling over since they almost never sit securely. You always end up with one amp on the floor, too - and since my amp is usually the biggest I don't want it to be mine. I much prefer to have less gear than try to pack in too much.

Yeah it should be enough, but it never seems to be. You misunderstand my point re stage times being affected. I'm saying that everyone's times gets eaten into if this happens-not just the band fancying about. I've had my stage time cut by 10 minutes when on last due to people fancying about, which is bloody annoying and there's nothing that could be done as the venue is working to a strict close time....
