LeftyJ Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Gigbag like no other, more case than bag but still very lightweight and comfortable. Expensive too, but really a great bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rasher80 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 The GigSkinz range carried by Bass Direct seems to be a decent bridge between the upper end Mono bag, which looks ace but pricey at £130, and your deluxe Warwick bags, which retail around £40. As soon as i get paid i'm getting one sorted out for my new Precision. They look kinda cool as well - and Mark's a sound guy to deal with!

largo Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I've got a Warwick Premium Gig Bag (as new) that someone can have for £20 inc P&P. Sits in a cupboard as I only ever use a hard case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanbass1 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) I picked up a Mono gig bag from Bass Direct and it really is better protection than other gigbag/case I own with the exception of my Anvil flightcase. [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/MONO_Bags.html"]http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_sp.../MONO_Bags.html[/url] Expensive, yes, but so are my basses!

Musicman20 Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 Will a Mono fit a Lakland Joe Osborn 5 (35 scale) ? If so, then it will fit all of my basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not to say they will fit everything but they are slightly shorter than some 35" basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcrow Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 [quote name='acidbass' post='620635' date='Oct 8 2009, 03:10 PM']I've used one of the Ritter bags for 3 or so years now and it has never let me down. Not exactly sure which model it is, but it was the most expensive one in the guitar shop, with the most padding and a little velcro strap inside it to secure the neck. +1 for Ritter![/quote] yes..get the super padded one...they do various grades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While its a very nice bag the padding behind the body creeks as if it was made of bubble wrap. Quite embarrassing when walking along a quiet street.

Count Bassy Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 [quote name='Musicman20' post='620616' date='Oct 8 2009, 02:49 PM']Its become obvious to me that sometimes I dont need the hardcases I have. Certain gigs require the entire band in one large car with amp heads, guitars/bass and basic drums.[/quote] I'd have thought this situation was exactly when you would want a hard case rather than a soft case. I'm in the same situation and it's nice to know that nothing will get damaged if the load shifts, e.g. a heavy combo decides to topple on top of the bass.

OutToPlayJazz Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I've always preferred hard cases as well, for as well as the protection offered, your bass always comes back out of the case in tune, just as you left it. I do have one very good gigbag. It's almost semi rigid & only £25-30 retail usually. Made by Boston.

Problem is, my hardcases are big. The new Fender cases are very protective, but large! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
