BassBod Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I've got a virtually new Ritter one here - might come with a nice Stingray inside for around £40......not the best bag in the world, but its ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGit Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I really like my Ibanez one [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_double_bag_trolley_ebass.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_double_bag_trolley_ebass.htm[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxm Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 The Warwick Rockbag one is passable - mines about 4 years old and is hanging on in there ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesemt Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I know you said not too expensive but the Mono bag is absolutely ace. Hideously expensive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sshorepunk Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I use these a lot! On second one in twelve months, both had the stiching go that holds the zip on the bottom the bag where most of the weight is have always carried 2 jazz basses Warwick deluxe bag lasted a good while, then got a fender bag and the stitching has now started to go I need a good bag!

tonyf Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I'd vote for Levys. Brought a CM88 (don't know if it's still a current model but there's bound to be an updated version) probably around 12 years ago. Still got it, still absolutely bullet proof. The only damage over the years is a missing zip tag thing that got pulled off somewhere in time. Replaced it, happy days again. Really can't recommend the Levys bag enough. It wasn't cheap at the time but my word, it's been the best investment I've ever made. Including those bloody BP shares! T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be too expensive for the OP at £200 though. Feels safe enough to house my modded Sadowsky and custom built Fender... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too expensive ! But good quality.[/quote] Given that these conditions are subjective and somewhat mutually exclusive ... I can say that at £70 ish from Thomann the Ibanez certainly meets the price criteria. It's pretty tough and secure, 3 years of regular use and no zip or stitching issues yet. It's a bit heavy when full (but has wheels and a good selection of handles) and the pockets are tempting so lots goes in them ... However it score highly on value for money.

sshorepunk Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 That Ibanez looks like a good option, I think I will try it next My bag does get hammered, and like I said earlier, leaving pointy strap locks on doesn't help Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_bass5 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) Ive had a Fender Deluxe double gig bag for about 18 months. It seems well made and only costs £49 but my god is it impossible to use. The way the shoulder strap is designed means the pad on it sits in front of your shoulder, leaving the metal digging right in to your shoulder bone. Maybe one day ill figure out how to use it in a practical way but for now its great for storage. Edited July 9, 2010 by dave_bass5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
