Thomann SafeCase 80 gig bag - anyone tried one?

[franzbassist]

It's this one, made for Thomann by Music Area.

 

 

The reason I ask is a Dingwall-branded one came with my new Dingwall bass and it is a superb bag.  If these are made to the same spec then they are a steal at that price.

I think they are the same, but with the Thomamn branding. It's at the top of my list for a replacement gigbag.

The original is way more expensive plus you have to add the shipping cost and the taxes...

So it's very interesting!

 

Thanks Gareth.

I bought one of the thomann ones for my 4003 recently. Its a really nice case and the Ric fits in it perfectly. I wanted something with a bit more padding than the ones I already had and this looked perfect. I will use it for rehearsals & gigs where I'll be driving and can safely put the bass across the back seat of my car rather than taking the bulky rickenbacker case.

I always thought they looked great, and that separate front pouch was based on the Mono "the Tick" which, at Mono, is an expensive accessory! If it's the same size it will comfortably house a Pedaltrain Nano.

That's nice.

What's the zippy bit on the back?

The shoulder straps are stowed behind it.

I bought two and wow, they are superb. Crazy good quality for the money👌

[Woodinblack]

Yes, I got one, great thing, really well made

my 10 year+ old Protection Racket is beggining to fall apart. This could very well be the replacement! Thank you!

I've had my thomann case for a few months now and while I wasn't initally convinced of the usefulness to the velcroed-on pod, I am now making good use of it and it saves on carrying a separate bag of odds & sods.

Mine spontaneously burst into flames (well, thick black noxious smoke) behind my amp while I played on, blissfully unaware.

Just bought one of these bags having seen this thread and it mentioned in a few other places. Absolutely excellent product and great value as well. Thanks.

I’ve just got one myself, fancied a change from my Gator’s?
Very impressed with it so far, just wish Thomann could sell the accessory bag separately?
Have started to think of options for the small bag in various situations…

Pity I can’t fit my current pedal board in it, might have to experiment..

[MichaelDean]

I did get one in the end and both guitarists in my band want them now too! I'm very pleased with mine.

I fancy one of these, does anyone know if it has sufficient internal length to fit my Mayones Jabba?

 

It has a slightly longer scale length than 34 inches and doesn't quite fit in my Contego gig bag.

[Woodinblack]

I have one of these, I had to get something bigger to fit my bongo, its the only one the bongo fits in well as its got a bit of a spikey headstock. In fact all things fit in it apart from the Sei 42", that doesn't fit anything. If you say how big the mayones is I will tell you if it is long enough

I'm not at home ATM but according to the 'net the 34.25" scale version is 117cm total length.
