philw Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 All, I have more basses than gig bags and since my original Wal hard case fell apart years ago (wish I'd kept it now, even though it was trashed), I could do with something good but inexpensive to carry the the old girl around in. So, can somebody a good, cheap(ish) gig bag. Thanks Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanbass1 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I wouldn't carry a Wal around in a cheap gig bag and would pay out for a Mono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll worry yourself into an early grave (apart from which, if social services find out about you keeping the kids in a hard case they'll be taken away).

chris_b Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) [size=4][font=Arial]I've got a very expensive Ritter gig bag and its crap. The stitching has pulled apart along the top seam. The Lull Protec bag that came with the bass has the same problem. [/font] [font=Arial]Can you afford a Harvest gig bag? I have hardcases for all my basses but only take them out of the house in the Harvest.

MartyBRebelMC Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I use a ProTec contego - not cheap but superb level of protection without the weight and hassle of a hard case, also easy to slip the bass in and out of in confined spaces - handy if you play pubs..

Clarky Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 If it has to be cheap-ish gigbag (ruling out a Mono, which is my preferred one) then the Madarozzo bags that BassDirect ships some of its basses in are OK at about £30 http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Madarozzo.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Hi Phil what are the dimensions?? I've got a couple of not bad quality soft cases which don't get used..you can have one for the price of postage (assuming one fits!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndroWal Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I use Under Cover Cases' gig bags for my Wals. Substantial protection...never as much as a hard case, but I've found these to be really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emanew Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) To protect and to carry more easily my electro acoustic bass, i have 2 ways - my RITTER double gig bag (for 2 basses !). I paid around 80€ for it. - a semi-rigid TOBAGO case around 70€ I hope it will help Edited February 1, 2012 by Emanew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I have this [url="http://www.thomann.de/gr/thomann_premium_gigbag_e_bass_br.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gr/thomann_premium_gigbag_e_bass_br.htm[/url] and it's very good.It has 30mm high density industrial padding which is more than most gig bags and like the description says it's very firm! Very good for the price they sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
