Mono M80 gigbag

[cayston]

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!

It would indeed, but try the Fusion Urban guitar bag first. A whole lot cheaper, more pocket space, and it's better padded too.

I can’t fault fusion either, I have a double gig bag and it’s the beans

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.

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.

Another vote for Fusion bags here, awesome bits of kit

But that's a bass bag right? The OP is asking about the Guitar version, which is a fair bit shorter overall than 8cm

No it’s a guitar gig bag, that’s why I answered.

It’d be a pointless bass gig bag if the only room for the headstock was 8cm.

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.

Ah ok sorry, my bad!

Very interesting, I have a 33” headless build nearing completion, so worth knowing!

It’s great, I no longer need worry about walking through doorways, or like just now walking along the aisle on the train.
