janmaat Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Hi, I've got given a double bass, great fun, lots of action... It has actually seen a lot of action already, been used for hard core slap bass busking through the last five years - so I'm looking for a bag, really more to transport it than to protect it (well, can't be wrong protecting it a bit can it). My budget is tiny if not to say microscopic. So my question, any recommendations? Where can I get one? Does anybody have a spare or one that needs a little fixing? Is there any- thing I need to know about such bags? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviedee Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Unfortunately they are quite pricey, I have a Gewa I picked up second hand for 70, maybe a local violin store might have something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 EBay. Don't skimp here either. I have a spare one (somewhere) that is so flimsy it does little more then keep the dust off so I bought a heavy duty one and it's much better. It shouldn't cost you over a £100 for a halfway decent one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I got one on ebay a couple of weeks ago for £33 (bid not buy now) There was one on there for 99p but it had days to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine has a hole for the endpin already built into the material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
