snorkie635 Posted January 9, 2025 Posted January 9, 2025 Wondering if you chaps/chapesses, might have any suggestions? Bass won't fit into Mono or Harvest bags, as it is a 'point' model with extra wood at the body end of it. I have a hard case for it, but it's like lugging my wardrobe around. Anyway, here's hoping someone with a similar S1, S2 or MK bass can give me an idea. Ta muchly in advance. Snorks 1 Quote
Mike Brooks Posted January 9, 2025 Posted January 9, 2025 Yessir, the Mono Vertigo M80-VEB-BLK and the Reunion Blues Continental Voyager Electric Bass Case. Both will accommodate the near 50-inch headstock to point length. Mike Quote
Piers_Williamson Posted January 9, 2025 Posted January 9, 2025 I fear not. I had an MK for about 20 years and was on a similar quest. I just got used to the wardrobe in the end (if you'll forgive the pun). I think one of my pre-requisites now in my dotage is that whatever bass I have, it must fit in a Mono. 1 Quote

I bought the Mono Vertigo M80-VEB-BLK because it was one of only two I could find that my MK signature Standard did fit into... with half an inch to spare! Mike 1 Quote
Mike Brooks Posted January 9, 2025 Posted January 9, 2025 And now the Continental Blues Voyager bag has been discontinued...doh! Mike Quote
snorkie635 Posted January 9, 2025 Author Posted January 9, 2025 @Mike Brooks and @Piers_Williamson Thank you both for your comments. I will now go and check out the Mono Vertigo and report back. You gotta love this forum. 🥰 Quote

BassManGraham Posted January 27, 2025 Posted January 27, 2025 REUNION BLUES CV case is the best, REUNION BLUES OXFORD GIG BAG is a close second and considerably less expensive. I have Monos which are very good, but for larger Alembics the REUNION BLUES cases & bags win hands down and are the only ones I've found to fit the bill. My 20th Anniversary & Mark King Signature Balanced K body, fit comfortably and are well protected. I use Monos for my Epics which are a fair bit smaller. Good luck 1 Quote
BassManGraham Posted January 27, 2025 Posted January 27, 2025 A Mark King and an Orion (with rare Crown headstock) and a 20th Anniversary all fit very comfortably in Reunion Bags & cases I find Monos two tight for comfort for the larger Alembics Look no further. BTW I am not affliated with Reunion Blues in anyway. Cheers 4 Quote
