ZPQ Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Hi, I just came across the Ibanez double bag - looks good but I'd be interested to hear from anyoen that's seen them or used them IDBB5-BK [url="http://www.ibanez.co.jp/world/products/accessories/page/bag.html"]http://www.ibanez.co.jp/world/products/acc...s/page/bag.html[/url] Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey D Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Anybody? I'm thinking of getting one as for the money they look the best value and I already have a single ibanez now which I am quite happy with. Did you get one in the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Looks the biz - how much are we talking? I have a warwick one for my Vigier pair which is OK but not very comfortable, even though the two basses are fairly light. Kiwi has just got a new double bag which he says is very good - he will chime in later because I will tell him to ;0) thats right, he's my bitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Your Other bitch. I take second place even to that mutt of yours. BTW my gig bag came from the LA Bass exchange c/- Mr Eubassix. Looks a load more study than the rubbish from Ritter that I bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Its a nylon jobbie with nylon webbing, double stitching and a thick foam padded interior lined with light grey velvet. There is a divider made from the foam/velvet combo separating the basses from one another. The only downer is that the pockets aren't big enough to carry my fold up stands so I'll have to work around that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyf Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I've had my Levy's one for the best part of ten years. It cost me an arm and a leg at the time but has been probably the best investment I've made gearwise. They're extremely durable, the straps are wide and very very secure and the padding is extremely thick. Admittedly, it's pretty heavy once I've got a couple of my basses in it but it's easily managed compared to two separate bags or cases.

ZPQ Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Well I bought the double ibanez bag from thoman - it's excellent for the money. Appear to pretty well made, decent padding and the wheels are handy. Hopefully it'll last a few years. Cheers John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that makes sense John[/quote] I've got a few questions myself. How is it to carry via the front handle, i.e. can you walk with it comfortably holding it there? Does it have a side handle? If so, how comfortable is it and what material is it made out of? Have you used it on public transport? If so, how was it? How large is the front pocket. Do you think you could fit a Mark Bass Little Mark II? (http://www.markbass.it/products.php?lingua=en&cat=1&vedi=69) Sorry for the million questions. It's just I'm still looking for my perfect soft gig bag solution after trying so many different cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a side handle but it's not as comfy (to me) I'm lazy so I don't use buses etc. The front pocket should easily hold a little mark - I'll check tomorrow night with my mates amp.

My basses only just about fit (Fender US Jazz deluxes, so heaven help anyone trying to use one to transport long scale instruments with two octave necks) and there's a huge tear in the stitching from the strain of having two basses in it on several occasions.

My mates Mark is in a purpose built flightcase and that wouldn't fit but I think without the case it should slot in nicely - no promises but I don't see a problem, Cheers John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daflewis Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 very interesting, that seems a great price for what looks like a very sturdy bit of kit! i have a six month old warwick rock bag, which i've used a couple of dozen times and already one of the strap adjusters has broken making it unusable as a rucksack, also the nylon has ripped around the front handle, the stitching has come away and the fake leather on another handle has ripped.... in short, a pile of sh*t!

The straps are badly designed, does not feel like it has been eating enough for two;.... it feels like a cheapo gig bag that has two instrument compartments, and got badged by a big company pushing more accessories than they really care to have a think about. Re: Ibanez, paid for one via Dolphin's which has an online deal now. Actually tried to buy from Thomann but they didn't have stock. Got in touch with ibanez agent here, they told me to order off my local shop. Local shop was about 15 quid more than Dolphin's. Apparently I'll get mine end of the month, which is a few days away. I may plan to get the guitar version too. My main gigging bass is a headless and it fits into a guitar sized case. All I need now is a spare headless bass... haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
