ped Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I had a punt on one of these. I'm impressed for the price - very sturdy construction, moveable neck pillow and lots of pockets. It is imitation leather so it doesn't weigh much (used to have a Harvest leather bag which weighed quite a bit on it's own) The colour is good and the 'leather' doesn't look half bad. The only problem is they have used the biggest zips known to man which clank around a bit, but can be replaced. Sits nicely on my back and the front grab handle is always a welcome addition. £59, can't go wrong.. https://www.dv247.com/en_GB/GBP/Fame-Gigbag-Electric-Bass-Antique-Deluxe/art-BAS0010066-000 Cheers ped 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassman68 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Quite interested in these myself, would like a worn black leather look... What’s the padding like on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the padding like on them? I don’t know if they do any other colours. Pretty good padding, the bag stays in shape well and I’d say it’s comparable with my Fusion bag. There are some interior pics on the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same but it seems that’s the only colour. Would love it in “worn black” or even a delightful “aged wine”, similar to Maruszczyk’s much more expensive offering: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 No but they shipped it especially slowly from Germany! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 BTW my post shouldn't be read as an endorsement of any kind - it could fall apart at any second so will have to see how it goes, although initial findings are positive.

PaleAngel_90 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Can anyone tell me how thick the padding of the gigbag is? As far as I could see it's not said or stated in the website of Musicstore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted December 14, 2021 Author Share Posted December 14, 2021 Sorry I forgot to update. Padding is about 30mm from outside bag to inside. The foam is quite stiff and feels up to the job. Let me know if you want anymore pics of anything in particular. One thing I’ll say is whilst the bag is comfy it does wear quite high. But then the ones that sit lower are a pain. I think it’s a good all round bag for the price! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) Half the time I like it, the other half the time I see a mutated, Cronenberg-esque school satchel, then that half catches up and quite likes it too Edited December 14, 2021 by neepheid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleAngel_90 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Is it a good quality gigbag? Or was it made to just look nice? I've never heard of the brand Fame before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard of the brand Fame before... Yeah it's fine - fairly thick plastic leather and decent padding. Good for the price and comfortable to wear. I think Fame are. budget brand who put their name on a number of budget items, like Harley Benton etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleAngel_90 Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Could this gigbag support and be used to house an Epiphone Thunderbird IV? https://www.thomann.de/gb/epiphone_thunderbird_iv_ebass.htm?shp=eyJjb3VudHJ5IjoiZ2IiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6NCwibGFuZ3VhZ2UiOjJ9&reload=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 Hm probably not, think you’ll need a specific shaped gig bag or case for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
