mr_russ Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I'm sure there was a post about this already but I can't bloody find it- I've just come back to markbass having bought an LMII - I had one of the old yellow models for a few years right after they were launched in the UK, back then the official case wasn't quite so prohibitively expensive as the new version. I doubt people are paying £60-70 or whatever it costs now- so what are you all using to lug around your LM's? Cheers! R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eude Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Gig_Skinz_Gig_Bags.html"]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_sp...z_Gig_Bags.html[/url] The DGMS is meant to be perfect, plus a lot cooler looking than the Markbass ones. I'm using a laptop bag snaffled from work just now, but I'll probably be getting one of these after pay day! Cheers, Eude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 (edited) I use an LMII case. I like that I can use the amp in the bag, just unzip the flaps front & back & plug in. I also have a spare LMII case that I might be interested in selling if anyone wants to make me an offer...

Alastair Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I too have an LMII gig bag, only cause I got it chucked in as part of the deal. It seems pretty solid though the straps are a bit meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machinehead Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I use one of those green bags from Auto Glym. They come filled with bottles of car polish etc as a little car cleaning kit. LM II fits perfectly and there are internal nets for leads plus an external pouch. Very snug fit, good protection and cheap - especially if you're buying the contents anyway.

stingrayfan Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Bit after the event here - but the foam lined photo cases that Maplins do are great for small stuff like mixers and LM heads. The foam cuts out for a really snug fit. Our band mixer's lived in one for a couple of years and it's been great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2x18 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I bought a cracking large Trabus Laptop bag in brand new condition for my LM2, for the princely sum of £3.00 at a local Car Boot Sale. It holds all my leads ,Tuner ,Wireless plus my music folder and tools etc. Really pleased with it! A real bargin! Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedontcarebear Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I carry my F1 in the front of my rucksack, as it has a pocket meant for a laptop, carries tonnes of leads etc too.

niceguyhomer Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 A £10 aluminium case from B&Q - perfect fit and room for a cab lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinson Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Just got hold of the Markbass bag from Thomann. Pricey but fits like a glove and I love the ease of the front and back zips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcater Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 My vote goes to the aluminium cases from B&Q, Maplins etc etc. I use these for all my amps - Hartke, EBS & mark bass. Works out far cheaper & the leads go in the same box Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 I got a silvery shiny Gig Skinz bag and when I pulled it out of the car, I was asked if I'd stolen it from the Scissor Sisters! Yes, it's shiny and very camp but I couldn't live with a camo (also very camp) one or a black one as they'd get left behind or lost under a dark stage!

Ou7shined Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 My 1st one came with the Markbass bag, it was handy to ware on my chest when I had my bass on my back and my hands filled with GT6B in Gator and lead bags etc. but I took it out of the bag when using it so it kinda defeated the purpose. Since I got my new one, I've just been using the original cardboard box with the polystyrene holders. Unbeatable protection but doesn't look all that cool. Might have a look at one of those B&Q jobs like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
