High Quality 3/4 DB Gigbag - suggestions?

This remains a lovely piece of kit but it's deffo intended for a genuine 3/4 DB, not a 7/8 DB like my Alcoa. Overall length is 2cm short (bit of a stretch but probably manageable), but body length is 7cm short for my bass.

 

My guess is that I could just about squeeze the Alcoa into this gigbag but it would be pulled out of shape with inevitable potentially disadvantageous consequences.

 

I.E. I'd end up breaking something.

 

Not keen to spend £835 to find out.

 

 

As an owner of the bag, it's the bass that would come off worse 👍

I'm still really happy with my Roth & Junius after a few years heavy use. Recommended, good value.

Ample protection, thick foam, really sturdy handles everywhere you need them, comfy 'rucksack' shoulder straps with back-up straps round the neck, strong zips.

Doesn't show any signs of strain anywhere.

They do a 4/4 too, if the Alcoa needs it.

Only downer is that it is quite bulky for storage. Doesn't easily fold down or compress, so needs almost as much space as the bass itself.

This is a most excellent review and I concur with it completely. It’s a beast of a gig bag!
