Steve Woodcock Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) Does anyone know where I might get a custom gig bag made? Need one for my Chapman Stick and it really does work out too expensive to import a genuine one from the States...

jamesf Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I'm not sure about gig bags, but you could get a lightweight hard case made by [url="http://www.caltoncases.co.uk/custom.htm"]http://www.caltoncases.co.uk/custom.htm[/url] Although, I'm sure any decent upholstery company could make you a leather one pretty reasonably and would be up for the challenge. I ended up making my own leather gig bag for my Hohner B2A Pro because it was ridiculously expensive to get a proper one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually sell on Ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Woodcock Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Thanks for the tips so far guys but I am definitely after a soft case/gig bag I can sling over my shoulder as I already have a hard case for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D0 you have a regular 10 or a grand 12? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are quite padded,if you want them to be,you can get uberswish leather and genuine skin insides,soft interiors (like buckskin etc) If you are a Vegan your gonna baulk,but You can have such an exclusive looking case,zipped,waterproof and made to your specs. If you get TOTALLY stuck,pm me.....Im thinking of moving into leatherwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Woodcock Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Had a look around the internet following your suggestion and found a couple of possibles cases, a lot cheaper than I was expecting too. Now need to find somewhere stocking them so I can go check them out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
