Roqsolid Powerbags

[b]Roqsolid Powerbags[/b]

Given the recent crap weather conditions, I wanted rain protection for my Burman Pre and Power... which are heavy enough as they are, so flight cases not an option... I was going to order the usual Roqsolid cases, but then saw that they do what they call Powerbags, into which you place your item and zip it up. Each bag has handles which loop underneath the bags and have a breaking strain of 600kg.

They are made from the same stuff as the Roqsolid cases - waterproof polypropylene. I opted for the 4mm foam-lined interior for extra protection. All you do is enter your dimensions online and they arrive in the post.

They appear to be really well made from quality materials. You can specify trim, webbing and handle colours from a selection. Roqsolid updated me via email at every stage of the order and again with an ETA when the items were despatched. Good service!

Given the sheer range of stuff we bass players use, I'm sure you can imagine a multitude of purposes for these.





I heartily endorse this event or product!!

Ooooooo...... they look interesting. I have a Roqsolid chuck-over cover for my Eden WT550, but a proper zip-up bag would be better.

$64,000 question, what do they cost please?

[Truckstop]

About $64,000 I'd imagine

Ooh I can see one of these in my future, particularly as it relates to my yet-to-be-restored Selmer.

£37 for the smaller one and £40 for the bigger one. Plus VAT and delivery.
I opted for FoamGuard, the 4mm foam-lined interior, which is +£3.68 for each bag.

Very high-quality heavy-duty zips, double-stitched seams and laminated layers. Lush!
And at the moment they are having a sale, so you get 12% off!

Wow that's actually quite reasonable. Might pick one up for my little SWR combo!

The reason for my enquiry was I've just forked out £85 for a Markbass TTE Head Bag which is smaller. Other bags that fit the TTE are Bongo Bags ( not the Musicman variety)!

Wow, that seems a bit steep! I assume it has the Markbass logo on it, thus making it worth every penny.

Euphemism?

You'd never get a Euphonium in a Bongo Bag....

I've always used Roqsolid covers. Very reliable and hard wearing. So if the covers are anything to go by, then the bags should be just as good....

Nice, I've just ordered one for my new Ashdown Mi10 cabs. Will likely get another one if it works out well, which I imagine it will based on your experience.
I went for the foam upgrade too

I have no experience of the bags, but have dealt with Roqsolid as a company when I needed a cover for my BF Super Twin. As I had the first cab off the line, there was some confusion of dimensions, but Roqsolid couldn't have been more helpful. Brilliant people to deal with.
