deathpanda Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Did a search but nothing came up so I'm gonna make a thread about it. I apologise for another advice thread, but I would like some help choosing a gig bag for my bass. For the past year I have been carrying my bass around in my guitar bag, which is obviously too small so I've had to have a drawstring bag cover the headstock. I really could care less about the horrible aesthetics and the distress it causes when you look at it, but I think it's time I got something that protect the bass properly. My price range is £50 max and I want something that fits my Geddy Lee sig perfectly. I have searched and searched for them online, but to be honest I'm not really sure what's big enough and what isn't... Aesthetically, I don't really want any bright colours or crazy designs, just a simple, durable gig bag for my bass. Any suggestions would be appreciated, cheers.

Doddy Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I'll always recommend the iGig cases over anything else, but they are a bit more than £50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I've got a Kinsman Premium Bass Guitar Bag. [url="http://www.jhs.co.uk/kinsman.html"]Kinsman[/url] You have to scroll down a bit to the Premium cases. I got it from Gear4Music, and I think it was about £30 or £40. Guy in my LMS actually complimented me on how good a bag it was the other day. It's very good for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah5string Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I've got one of these... [url="http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/product/43510-kinsman-hfe3-hard-foam-case-.html"]http://www.dolphinmusic.co.uk/product/4351...foam-case-.html[/url] No complaints at all! In fact it's the best case I've had as it's also lightweight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassJase Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 The Tribal Planet gig bags are fantastic protection and have loads of space for books/leads/catapults/mushrooms/cat food/whatever, but they're not the lightest of all gig bags. Guess thats the trade off for the amount of protection they offer. You can get them for less than £50 though, I have one and its blinding.
