Rigid Gig Bags

[SimonPLights]

I've just ordered myself a new 5 string Spector and will need a gig bag for it.

 

The Sire I'm returning has such a nice gig bag included that I'd keep if I could get away with it. The thing I like about it is that when there is no bass in it, it does just flop in to a pile on the floor - it's that semi-rigid EVA style material that retains its shape.

 

Any suggestions for a good gig bag (ideally £60 or thereabouts) of that style? Would need a front pocket that could take a few cables and a mini pedalboard (HX stomp and 1 other small pedal)

Take a look at Thomann's offerings as well, they make some very nice bags. The cream of the crop is their Safecase 80, though it's double your budget, but it's also got the Mono Tick style attachable bag, and a decent sized front pocket, plenty of padding, etc. I think there's been videos on Youtube of those bags being tested, chucking them out of 2 story buildings with guitars in and the guitars survive, though I might be misremembering that.

The TGI Extreme bags are very good value but just check if you're getting the updated version or the older one if you order one. I think they've changed the handle design - the old one is a one piece and the newer one may be a two piece. A bit geeky I know but it would make a difference to me. 

 

I have a Thomann SafeCase 80 and it's bloody brilliant. The little accessory bag it comes with is a genius idea and sounds perfect for your pedals. I've got all my cables and bits in it. The quality is great and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

 

I also have a Gator Pro Go which is equally good and has tons of useable storage space. You would get your pedals in there easily I think.

 

They're both double your budget but you're getting a lovely new bass and they're top quality bags - I would treat myself......it's just the cost of a couple of sets of strings more. Oh and they both fit a 35" scale Spector in.
