Thank you. Made me feel better 👍

Thank you. My friend told me it was a custom order early in the life of the Gage travel bass. I was told the sides are quilted maple. It’s been around the world the little fella, he’s a trooper.

My bad…ordered the 1/4 instead of 1/2 by mistake

I thought I had ordered the 1/2 bag after reading this thread but by mistake I must have clicked on the 1/4. It definitely doesn’t fit!! 😂 I will be ordering the 1/2 size (like I meant to do)…old age doesn’t come itself…

Hi. How did it go with the 1/2 size case? If it’s good can you please share a link? thank you

That is very impressive service! Thank you.

Keep us up to date please. Mine might need replaced soon too. Kind regards

Good shout Acid Bass, done. Thank you

Thanks very much Tinyd - I’ve just emailed them. Good shout. R

Thanks guys! I’ve got a David Gage Czech Ease but the flight case is a bit too fragile now. Maybe I should just take that and buy a seat for it. I will indeed try Gerry, thanks Paul.

Still getting nowhere with this. I googled and messaged a couple of places but no reply, so if anyone has some inside knowledge it would be brilliant.

Wonderful

Hi peeps, I need to do only one gig in Dublin and probably another one in Belfast, in mid August. Then back over to Scotland. Any tip on hiring a decent 3/4 double bass in Dublin and another one in Belfast? Or anybody in this esteemed forum that lends basses for a fee? I have a plethora of pickups and mics so that isn’t a deal breaker. Needs to be well set up though. A car on the ferry is a bit too expensive and flying a bass for such a short engagement is definitely more hassle than it’s worth, so I’d be delighted with any advice. thank you in advance

Hey sir, I’ve had mine for a while. The hard case had been around the world more times than the internet and it’s still hanging together by a prayer. The soft bag is possibly even worse and I still use it 4-5 times per week. Last year I came across the same problem. The new incarnation of the Gage shop quoted me 500 squids for another soft bag which is bonkers, so I basically enquired in every clothes alteration and upholstery shop I could find locally and finally found a very skilled person who patched and reinforced the bag, plus fitted a new zip. It’s still going strong 🤞🤞🤞🤞. I don’t know if there is any other soft case that would allow you to fit the bass inside its hard case apart from the original, but you could try a 1/2 size, I really don’t know though. Best of luck and any help message me. Kind regards

Bought a bow from Karl and everything was perfect from beginning to end. Deal with upmost confidence: a credit to the bass community.

Mike just bought a couple of Pirastro Oliv strings from me and he was excellent to deal with. Immediate payment and great communication 👍👍
