If you turn up without a head it puts the band with the gear in a bad position as they will look like fannies if they say no and the equipmentless band cant play. Not really their problem but it kinda puts them in the situation where they have to loan out their gear.
As for the please and thanks but it is only nice to ask for a shot rather than plug in and say thanks after you use it. In my case if someone thanks me for the loan of my head in most cases they would be allowed to use it again if the need arose.

Yeah. If someone shows up without an amp and relies on using yours, you look like a total twat if you say no. It's not fair to put people in that position. People who use tube amps especially dont want to be put in the position where they have to be pressured into sharing their amp. I am almost always willing to share my cab with people, I spent a lot of money on it, surely thats reasonable enough? But my head I am not willing to share, and often I feel forced into it, then spend the gig watching nervously as someone plays distorted fuzz octave bass into my amp, with the gain turned up higher than it should be, and the bass up full.
