Wow just stumbled on this thread. Intrigied to hear more on people's experience with them. I just can't believe they'd compete in a live band situation. Was going to get a TKS S112 but may consider this instead. Which would be loudest?

Bought a case from Ambient, communication was good throughout and item was delivered quickly.

Stumbled across these. Space age bass cabs. Weird!! http://www.notreble.com/buzz/2014/10/10/alusonic-introduces-alu112-aluminum-bass-cabinets/

Thanks Nick, I'm becoming very tempted to pull the trigger now. :-)

It's well padded, the pocket actually expands to be pretty big (I put my Tecamp Puma, a speaker cable, instrument lead, power lead, strap, tuner, patch lead and iPad in mine for rehearsal last night), and like all Mono stuff it's really well made. I have had no experience of the splitting Ambient mentions. There are three things I'd change if I could though: i) the buckle system works, but is a bit naff ii) I'd prefer the bottom of the outside of the bag to be lined with the heavy duty rubber used on the Mono backpack range iii) I'd swap the orientation of the handle to the other side, to make it a more natural carry for right-handed folk All round, an excellent bag though. [/quote] That's good to know Gareth. I want something that can house a TH350 and a few leads ideally. If I could get a four block in, then that would be a bonus. I want the bass to be protected, but it doesn't need to be nuclear resistant. My basses only ever travel in the car. Thinking about the contego but don't like those split handles with Velcro wraps. I actually have a Gigblade still got the tags on! It's a beauty. Well protected. So comfortable to carry, very well balanced. You can a few leads in storage at the top, there is a slim pouch that covers the main body of the bass but you'd get a few leads in there, some sheet music, perhaps a mb200, but not a class D with any height. Shame. May move it on. Mmm

This looks really neat, surprisingly no bass version. https://www.zoom.co.jp/products/guitar-bass-effects/guitar/g5n-multi-effects-processor?_ga=1.125787402.1210613795.1455858955

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1455673419' post='2981422'] I had one for a year or so. There's very little in the way of containment for anything other than the bass. There's a large flat zip pocket on the front, but you won't get anything in there except for a cable or a book of charts. There's nowhere to carry tuners, or a strap etc. Also the piping or whatever you call the stuff that runs around the seems split all the way around. [/quote] Not so good then. What did you get as a replacement? Cheers

Digging this one up again, any first hand experiences?
