BassManGraham Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Hi All, OK this is a first world problem but would appreciate advice. I recently acquired a beautiful 20th Anniversary Alembic, but the hard case is absolutely massive and not gig (or car) friendly. I am looking for a decent padded gig bag. It will just about fit into a Thomann deluxe bag but headstock is very tight against lining and would be very vulnerable to knocks. Any Basschatters know of a decent well padded large bag? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I can get my Shukerbird (Thunderbird with a Shuker P-neck - it's a biiiig long bass) into my Mono dual bag with another bass, too, so I'm pretty sure you'd get your Alembic in one of the single ones.

ped Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 This. They're amazing - you can adjust the inside to fit any bass perfectly. It comes with a massive long divider which you can stick down to conform to your basses every contour, and that includes leaving more space at the top for the headstock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzyvee Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I would suggest you do a search on the Alembic Web site forum as someone there must have resolved that issue at some point. www.alembic.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Bitch-blues Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Saw the title, ''Gonna need a bigger boat'', and thought how good it would be if a company called 'Shark' made what you need, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassManGraham Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 I have found a pretty good temporary solution. My Alembic fits both a Ritter and Warwick Rocksak Thunderbird gig bag. A bit of extra bespoke foam padding, will make gigging feasible, the original case is great but just way too big! Many thanks to all responses, much appreciated. Acknowledgement and appreciation to Mark and Ashley from Bass Direct who suggested the T'bird gigbag solution. Luckily I have one already Doh!
