Rabbie Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I’m curious: anyone using one of these? Worth it? https://www.caswells-strings.co.uk/product/the-bass-buggie/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike.kennedy Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 One of my bass-playing mates in Bristol has one and he thinks it's fab and uses it all the time.. I'd consider getting one if I didn't already have a soft case with built-in wheels.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fleabag Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Oh dear rabbie Maybe swap your URB for a EUB ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malvis Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I got one of these a few weeks ago Rabbie. I've taken it out a couple of times and it's been very easy & efficient, but I haven't really put it through its paces. So I can't say much about its longevity, or its ability to handle cobbled streets or festival fields. Based on this limited experience, I'd recommend it, with the caveat that (to me anyway), it seems a fairly hefty price for a pair of plastic wheels with some straps and bungees. That said, it's a good design, and can be adapted to fit basses of all sizes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems expensive for what it is. I have a second-hand golf trolley which cost 15 quid plus a longer bit of webbing and some 1/2inch pipe insulation for padding, and the wheels are big enough to cope with a typical UK folk festival grassy field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
