mojobass Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 recentky bought a Stagg brand gig bag for my aria acoustic bass. decent quality - not heavy padding but its a cheap acoustic so not bothered! ayhow, when i sat the bass in it the bag wasnt long enough! the tip of the headstock stuck out by abot 4cm! oh well it'll do i thought. then, i aquired another acoustic bass gig bag which is a perfect fit so i had the stagg one spare, i was gongto just bin it or stick it in the loft but it transpires that my two new aquisitions (both precision size) fit in erfectly one on top of the other! I know theyll eventually get battle scars from resting against each other but heck theyre basses and meant to be like that!! but otherwise its proved a cheap alternative to buying a dedicated 'twin bass' gig bag!

brensabre79 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I'd be very wary of putting two basses in one case without ample padding between, Even if you're not bothered about scratches, a fairly minor impact to the case will mean the two basses will bash against each other. Without protection you could open the case to find two broken basses, knobs snapped off, tuning pegs broken etc. - which is definitely not a cheap alternative to a dedicated twin bass gig bag. All is not lost, I just think you should at least get some foam between the two to absorb any impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
