Good London shop for gig bags? SORTED

[Weird War]

Hello everyone

I need to buy a padded soft gig bag for some forthcoming gigs, and am going to buy one in London on Saturday. (I would use eBay but need it asap.) Something like [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DELUXE-BASS-GUITAR-GIG-BAG-25mm-Padded-Soft-Case_W0QQitemZ270258659153QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item270258659153&_trksid=p3286.m14.l1318"]this[/url] with pockets for pedals etc. would be good.

Can anyone recommend a shop in town?

Thanks

Doug

Hi Doug
You can try this guy on [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=150273781992&Category=20830&_trksid=p3907.m29"]EBay[/url] I've bought a GX/15B as has Mr Sibs a fellow BC'er from him, and they are superb bits of kit. I think this sums up how good they are!!! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXB9jpYhX1k"]Tribal Planet testing...very funny!![/url] If you're lucky you might pick up a bargain!!

I use Ritter bags, and IMO, they're the dogs danglies. Spend as much as you can, the top end bags are worth the extra.

Thanks for your suggestions, guys. I would go down the eBay route, as I said, but need to pick something up pronto this weekend. Any suggestions for London shops with decent stock?

one of the main problems with denmark st. (of which there are many) is that most of the shops there are now owned by the same company - so they all carry the same stock! daft, but true.
sound control (if it's still there!?!) on oxford st. was where i've ended up on many a very disappointed occasion.

Just to say, I made my first visit to the Gallery in Camden today and picked up a Ritter gig bag. What a wonderful place...
