Pkomor Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Ive been thinking about a Mono gigbag, and it looks great, but I want something i can fit my markbass F500 in, and I cant find the pocket dimensions anywhere! Does anyone know them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know them?[/quote] Usable dimensions are about 30cm by 28cm, you should have no problem fitting the F500 in. For my gig last night I had a Fender volume pedal (those things are bulky), two large leads and a couple of effects boxes. You should definitely get one, it has probably been my most satisfying acquisition this year- it's really light and comfy and I trust my bass in it more than in my hard case.

Excellent kit. Expensive but miles above the quality of something like a Warwick. Pockets should fit an F500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flychris Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Don't know about the possible thickness in mine. large pocket but I'don't know about fitting a f500 in it. (but I've got the gigbag for two basses) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pkomor Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 Hmm, do think It would be thick enough to fit the F500 with a power lead, a (thick) speakon lead and a jack to jack lead in it as well? The F500 is 1.73 in. / 4.4 cm (1U) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pkomor Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 (edited) I think I've found the answer to my own question! [quote]You're not getting anything else in that pocket other than a thin cable with an F1 in there. The iGig is much better for a ton of storage. The Mono would work if you're going completely minimal- as in basses, micro amp, and one instrument and speaker cable, and nothing else.[/quote] Hmm, this could be close!

Pkomor Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 Hmm, If I couldnt fit the cables in with the F500 in the front could I put them in the pocket for the straps on the back, or would they fall out? It would only need to be for one instrument, speaker and power cable, anything more and i'd take the F500 in a laptop case anyway, so I can fit plenty of other stuff in...

Doddy Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 If you want a lot of storage,check out the iGig cases. There is plenty of space to fit the F500 and the leads and other bits and bobs. They are a similar price to the Mono cases too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pkomor Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Yeah, I have seen the iGig cases, they look good, but i'd prefer something a bit less bulky and more tight-fitting I think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mono also has plenty of D rings. The iGig is a viable alternative, it just looked a bit too much like a hiking backpack for my liking.
