SeanBrookesMusic Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Gruv Gear Edge look great. Currently having the same issue as everyone else with my mustang... where are the gig bags!? Anyone tried a mono guitar sleeve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mono sleeve is too short for a Mustang, although fits my Serek shortscale (ie a stumpy body with a 2+2 headstock). But yeah, the Gruv Gear Edge is the best I’ve found so far.

Yeah hard-cases aren’t an issue, gig-bags were thin on the ground. However the Gruv Gear Edge Guitar bag and the Serek gigbag are both excellent bags for Mustangs.

ezbass Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) 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 Edited February 26, 2021 by ezbass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you said you weren't willing to pay out for a Harvest leather gig bag but... it fits my JMJ perfectly. There's just the right amount of space at the top and it doesn't squeeze the tuners too much. Like a glove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Google search I made in the wee small hours, a couple of nights ago, revealed that the Gator XL will fit a Mustang with a tiny bit of forming of the foam, it was a BC thread IIRC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the Harvest ones seem great, although I’m trying to reduce my leather consumption considerably. If your Mustang is your main bass, makes sense, but at the time, it was just one of my tools....so didn’t really warrant a £300 bag haha. I don’t have a Mustang anymore, but if I did, I’d buy one of the Serek bags. They seem a good balance between price and gig protection.

ezbass Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 Just revisiting this, the TGI Extreme from Bass Direct measures 106.5cm internally. Given the Mustang is only 1.5cm longer, you’d think it would fit with a bit forming at each end. Just £39 plus postage. I’m tempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan63 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I was going to buy the TGI bag with my Mustang but A Strings checked the fit and advised that it was quite a stretch and put a fait bit of strain on the zip, so I took their advice and got the Bass version of the same bag which is normal length and roomy, but not too baggy. It looks like the best available at the moment is the Gator ProGo, you remove the internal bottom pad ProGO link, I just couldn't justify the extra expense of it personally but it looks like a nice gig bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunlop flush Mount strap locks on the mustang to reduce the length at the bottom strap button and it’d be snug as a bug in a rug! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but it’s still a fairly simple bag, the initial query of this thread was to find a solid gigging bag similar to a Mono/Gruv gear style mag. The entry level Gruv Gear hit that just about, but my next stop would definitely be a Serek bag. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan63 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) I think the 106.5cm is external measurement, take off 4cm for the padding, you are trying to stretch it (compress the padding) by 5.5cm, but maybe Bass Direct reckon it's a good fit, A Strings didn't, maybe I should have taken the chance. Also having got the same bag but Bass version the handle whilst comfortable being cloth covered I'm not sure how that will last. 20mm padding is better than most cheap bags though. Gruv Gear out of stock everywhere at the moment, A Strings said they haven't had any deliveries from Singapore in a while.

ezbass Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 To be honest, there’s nothing wrong with my Maruszczyk bag other than it being somewhat wide in the body. I think it’s a combination of liking a bag/case that hinges up to a big reveal (like my Protection Racket) and lockdown ennui. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MungoBass Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I took a bit of a £16.90 gamble on a Thomann Beat Bass gig bag (meant for Hofner violin basses) and can confirm a Mustang fits nicely! The first time it was a bit tight around the upper horn but that seems easier after a day or two. The bag has semi-rigid 20mm padding and can happily stand up on its own, so not at all flimsy. If I end up keeping the Mustang, then I would probably buy a suitable hard case. In the meantime, the Beat bag will more than do! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff90guitar Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I’ve just bit the bullet and ordered a Gator GC-ELEC-XL Guitar ABS Case from Amazon for my CIJ Mustang bass. I’ve been comparing lengths and I know I’ll be cutting into the padding a little maybe just for the strap button. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use one of these cases with my 2 Mustangs if they need to go into the back of the van. Sorry no picture to hand; the headstock compresses the padding at the top of the case a bit but there is still material between the headstock and the case shell. It's generally a good snug fit.
