Is this Stentor Rayon a good bass bag?

Hi

This seems like either a great deal or a cheap bag that won't be much better than a canvas bag.

Padded 12mm for £60

Does anyone own one of these or know about it

It looks very like, if not identical to the one I've got, which is a fine bag The extra pockets and handles are a boon when it comes to manhandling the beast around. The only problem I've had in almost a year of (2nd hand) ownership is that a couple of zip pulls have broken off. The zips still work very well though. The only improvement I'd make is to have rucksack style straps on the back. Hope that helps.

I don't get too precious about bags. As I use the car 100% I just need minimal protection from scratching/abrasions and am not too concerned about lots of padding. Like Sarah, I've suffered a few zip pull failures which is a bit of a PITA. Not too sure who made my bags, apart from the Upton one which is thickly padded and very heavy, but they're all OK. A zip failure would be unacceptable.

I've got a Hindersine bag [url="http://www.djmmusic.com/Itemdesc.asp?ic=DBB"]http://www.djmmusic.com/Itemdesc.asp?ic=DBB[/url] which I think was good value at just under £50. Padded, strong zips, lots of handles, handy extra pockets and rucksack straps. No wheels though (I ended up getting one of those fabulous bass buggies!).

I just ordered one, so I'll let the forum know how I get along with it.

That Hindersine bag looks good. Let me know what you think when you get it

I have a cheap bag that came with the bass. Its OK. The only thing I get worried about is when I bash the head on doorways. The bass I have is so light I carry it everywhere and have never thought of using a trolley or wheel. Wouldn't bumping up and down kerbs risk damaging the bass?

Hi Adrian, yes I think that's the problem with those wheels that stick in where the endpin goes, but the bass buggie is designed to help absorb shock, so it's a much smoother ride for the bass. If you find carrying your bass fairly easy then it's probably not worth the money (it's £120), but I struggle and was getting back ache lugging mine around!

I bought one online from DJM last week - great value.
