cayston Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hi all, looking to get a gig bag for my Sei headless bass and was wondering if any of you guys might know if the Mono M80 guitar gigbag would fit? Or would I have to go for the bass version? Many thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A whole lot cheaper, more pocket space, and it's better padded too. https://www.fusion-bags.com/collections/urban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I can’t fault fusion either, I have a double gig bag and it’s the beans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I have a Fusion (and another on the way with my ACG build), and whilst they're excellent bags, I prefer the balance of my Mono bag, specifically when carrying on one shoulder. The Fusion almost feels a little top-heavy weirdly (nothing in the top pocket). The Fusion is slightly slimmer front to back and feels quite compact, so that may also be a consideration too. Either way I don't think you can lose, both excellent. As for the 'fitting in a guitar bag', I'm not sure, probably depends on the scale-length of the bass? A 35" or 36" scale bass, even when headless, probably needs a bass bag. A headless 32" or less might fit in a guitar bag?! Try measuring the full length of the bass and emailing Mono directly perhaps. Looks like the overall length of the Guitar case is 105.4 cm/41" (external), so you should be able to make an educated guess. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Should point out my bass is a headless Sei too, 34” scale and there’s a good bit of room between the top of the instrument and the top of the gig bag, at least 8cm or so.

But that's a bass bag right? The OP is asking about the Guitar version, which is a fair bit shorter overall than 8cm Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cayston Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Thank you guys for all the tips. I already have two Mono bags for my other basses hence I am more incline towards it. Si - mine is a 34’’ scale flamboyant so the Mono should fit. Ambient - good to hear it fits well and looks like that I’ll go for the Mono guitar then.

Very interesting, I have a 33” headless build nearing completion, so worth knowing! Si Edited March 21, 2018 by Sibob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si It’s great, I no longer need worry about walking through doorways, or like just now walking along the aisle on the train. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
