I used to allow other players whom I didn't know very well to utilize my equipment, bad mistake for sure. Not everyone has the same level of respect for others equipment, they will take your rig to its limits and leave you hanging like a two dollar trick. If your not on a first name basis with the impending band, specifically the bass player, lock it up and pack it up.
It saves wear and tear on your knuckles from taking out the first four front teeth of the idiot who blew your rig.
