Cases that fit more than one bass

Is anyone using one or recommend one at all. I've seen two online:

Which looks excellent but probably a bit much for my needs (no flights).

Or

Which also looks decent but I do normally prefer hard cases.

I have a couple of dual bags - they rarely get used currently. Would recommend both/either

and one of these:

Sounds counterintuitive but like @Lozz196 I was up for the idea in principle but in practice found 2 separate single bags much easier to carry, fit in a car, stash at gig etc..

Yep, it's a trade off. I like simplicity and tidiness, but the bulk and weight of a double bag is as annoying as having two bags around. You can't really win!

I've never had a double case, and probably wouldn't bother for regular transport. Even when I was working stageside with big touring bands, it would often be numerous hardcases in a flightcase rather than one giant case for them all. Even roadcrews like a little bit of convenience! 😄

Reminds me of when I used to take the tube to rehearsals with a 5-string Stingray and the heaviest Jazz Deluxe V I've ever lifted in one monster gigbag. It wasn't any easier in my 20s, but I was too stupid back then to make it easy on myself!

Ah okay, thanks for input guys. Think I'm gonna stick with separates and save the money for more basses  :lol: I'll just have to make my lazy donkey do more trips to the car when I'm loading/unloading :)

A big vote for the Mono double gig bag. With a light weight head and Barefaced cabs I can carry two basses and a 900 watt rig on my own in one go. Don’t give up on the double gig bag idea - I only one take a single bag if I’m taking one bass to a jam. (Just make sure you keep two cables and a set of earplugs in all your bags.)

I can recommend this one for a double gig bag.

If you want something more solid then these are good. I have a single bass version and it's tough and light and I use it when my bass needs to go in the back of the van.

I've got an iGig double bag that I use on most gigs, which will safely take two basses and all the leads and spares, etc that I need on stage. I quite like the fact that it is rather heavy as it makes it very unlikely that some opportunist scrote is going to attempt to pick it up and do a runner with it. This is fine if you just have to take it from the car and back, but is a definite pain in the a*se on the odd occasion that you do have to carry it any distance. 

I have had it for a fair few years now and it has done hundreds of gigs. It is now starting to show a bit of wear and tear and I must admit, I am thinking of taking two bags to gigs when the time comes to replace it...!

I've got an old Peavey double gig bag that I bought years ago. I've used it a lot, mostly with my Fenders, but I feel more comfortable using my iGig or my leather Reunion Blues cases with my nicer instruments. They are just better quality cases, and to get that level of protection from a double bag means a heavier case than I'd like.
