Leather goodness...

[skej21]

I'm getting the weirdest form of G.A.S. I've ever experienced and suddenly have an urge to buy leather to tart up my basses.

Does anyone know where I can get either 2nd hand OR a better deal on a Harvest gig bag and strap? Or offer an equally nice/reasonably priced alternative? These specifically would be great;

Please help!

Yeah those are probably the nicest gigbags I've ever seen, just so expensive when you look at what you can get for half as much.

If you spend that much on a gig-bag, aren't you going to want some kind of gig-bag-bag to put it in to keep it nice when you take it out to gigs?

[umph]

was hoping for some else in this thread

A bit OTT for me. Still, handy if you're in a Judas Priest tribute band.....

I've got one of the canvas versions (from Overwater) - very nice and very protective, in fact it still looks new after about three years moderate use. Never seen the leather version "in the flesh" but I'd expect it last a few lifetimes! I'd contact Bert at Hotwire basses and see if he could do a good price on one?

Thanks for all the help guys!

Got a couple of gigs this week and that should pay for the gig bag, but still thinking that I want to get it cheaper if I can!

No, I'd still rather have a Hiscox Litflite...and I could have two for that price.

It depends, I use two lifelites and a good gig bag. Depends on where I'm going really, if it's a big gig where I'm carrying alsorts, I'll use the lifelites, if I'm going to a session or a lesson or something, I want something I can just drop in the backseat of my car, and an amp in the boot

This is my exact thought. I want a good gig bag that I can keep for years, without it falling to pieces.

Plus, a lot of flightcases, including the hiscox that I used to have, aren't fitted and are awkward to carry.

A gig bag, I can throw onto my back and it will fit my bass properly.

That's it, I'm buying one lol

I've got the Harvest Leather Bag, and the Harvest Canvas bag. I love them both... but the Leather is so good.
