Mustang Bass dimensions (for gig bags)

[toneknob]

Perfect! Gator Icon does the job. Just need to repack it so Santa can redeliver in a couple of weeks. 

Thanks for the assist!

Nice one, always good to know of the range of bags that fit these.

Not as robust as the ICON case, but this Gator bag will work and is way more affordable https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Gator-GB-4G-JMASTER-Gig-Bag-for-Jazzmaster-Guitars/5EB4

Nice one, thanks.

I’m using one Thomann’s own Beatbass bags. Does the job, but a bit cheap n’ cheerful. The one external pocket is a bit too small, also.

For a tight(wad) budget, all my short scales (incl. Fender Mustang, Gibson SG) fit into this Thomann E-Guitar gig bag deluxe, currently £25 which is £2 less than I paid a couple of years ago.  A couple of my medium scales also fit in it, although a recent Aria Pro II CSB is a little bit too long.  It has a decent amount of padding, more than good enough to caddy from car to gig/rehearsal.  And it fits sideways in my boot, which I like.

Just seen on Facebook that the Sire U5 gigbag is a fit for the Mustang.

Was always tempting because it looked so much like the Serek gigbag

To which the large size fits a Rickenbacker perfectly but nothing longer like a p or j bass.

…. to which I see they have 3 bag sizes, V (Fender size right?), M (More modern 2 x 2 headstock ones right?), U5 Shortscale

So if that fits my Ric, that’s a wayyyyyyy cheaper option than the serek plus shipping and duties etc.

Does anyone know of double bags that fit 2 Mustangs? I'm going on a tour in April and I'd like to take both my Mustangs along.

Mono M80 Guitar Double - it’s what I use for gigs with my 2 Mustangs.

Gruvgear Kapsule Duo Guitar will also work and you’ll be able to put your clothes in it too.

 

The Gator Guitar Vault will also hold 2 Mustangs but it’s not exactly a gigbag

I've been using the GATOR PROGO DOUBLE GUITAR BAG for my JMJ, Lionel and Stingray, great quality and very rigid, cracking bag for the money

You just need to take out the removable pads at the bottom

[BassAgent]

I bought this Ritter for an absolute bargain. Not a big fan of Ritters in General but this is just for one tour and I didn't want to spend Mono or Gator money for that. Will report back once its in

[BassAgent]

Well, they fit. Just. It's a very very tight squeeze but it fits.

The Maruszczyk Medium/SS gig bag is a good fit lengthwise, an inch or so to the zip at the headstock, but a bit baggy at the sides. https://public-peace.de/accessories/gigbags-suitcases/bass-gigbags/electric-bass

 

 

Do you think that would fit a Jaguar SS? They are a bit wider,  I think.

I'll try to remember to make those tomorrow in daylight

My Maruszczyk Elwood L (J type) has a full size body and 33” scale. The body fits absolutely fine, the head is a bit tight, but fits, pretty good for an SS gigbag. So in answer to your question, yeah, I reckon so.

Worth a punt then. Thanks.

If you have a look on the Last Night's Gig thread, you can get a feel for the size of bass that fits. 

 

It's this one

Here we go:

With a bit of a squeeze and a stretch of the bag, both Mustangs fit.
