Bag for acoustic bass guitar????

[ChrisF]

Wasn't sure where to put this...so if it's in the wrong place please feel free to move it mods .. cheers.

Just got hold of an acoustic bass guitar..and I've been all over the Internet trying to find a bag for it.

No luck so far. So I was wondering if anyone had experience of this and knew somewhere to get one.

The guitar is 125cm long ( hey look at me doing modern measurements lol ) and I just can't find a bag that is long enough.

As ever... cheers in advance you lovely people

Might just do it with a centimetre to spare!

Nice....but 40 quid with P&p is a bit steep....but thanks anyway.

[NickD]

40 Euros with p&p. Then again the pound's not what it was.

[ChrisF]

Hahahaha...I'm a numpty...got my pounds and euros confused.... 33 quid including P&P isn't bad. Especially as the only other ones I've found are 100 quid or more.

Think I'm gonna go for it.

Cheers

I got one for my acoustic bass for £20, I'll have a look for the make.

Just checked and it's a TGI and mine is for a 5 string acoustic.

They're all over the place. This is where I got mine.

If the instrument's worth a bit, isn't a cheap gig bag a false economy? I went through a couple of cheapies before seeing the light and getting a Fusion. Wish I'd got one first off.

Having owned all sorts of cases from what was essentially a guitar-shaped plastic bag to full-flight cases you need to pick the right case for your situation. IME a £30 padded gig bag that is comfortable to wear is going to be fine. Unless you need maximum portability and maximum protection, I really can't see the point of these modern semi-rigid cases, and I'm saying that as Mono M80 owner.
