Good bag/backpack to carry a Markbass head in?

[franzbassist]

 

Hello all

I own a Markbass Little Marcus 800 amp and am looking for a good bag to carry it in.  I currently use the Markbass-bag, but I can only really fit the power cord and a speaker lead in that, so I am trying to find something that will give the amp a snug, secure fit, and also allow space for a few extra items (at least 1 x rolled guitar strap, speaker cable, power lead, instrument lead, tuner, patch cable, small tool kit).

Any suggestions?

I use a Stanley Fatmax toolbag for my small amps.  It's very tough, has a plastic bottom and lots of pouches for cables etc.  And the yellow will match your yellow amp.

Great protection for £14.99.

Thanks Frank.  Yes, tool bags could be a good option!  Also military bags.

Thinking laterally now...

I have a Wenger rucksack that I use, can fit my Ashdown RM500 in it so the LM should be fine. I also get my (all boxed) Boss TU2 tuner, Sansamp Paradriver and Wireless kit in it, along with all my leads. It`s not cheap, but the convenience of loads of different sections for different bits means setting up and packing away is made much easier, rather than everything just dumped in one bundle, plus the quality is easy to see/feel.

Now that is a good shout, especially as I forgot I already have one I’m not using!!!!!

Edit: Takes all I wanted to put in it and more.  Perfect.

Gator make a range of very well made bags in a variety of dimensions. Search for “gator mixer bag” and you’ll likely find something that fits. They’re very reasonably priced too.

Have a look at DJ backpacks, Magma, UDG and Gator do good ones but you'll be paying over a ton.

True, UDG and Magma aren’t cheap. Gator are much more affordable.

Thanks guys, yes I have been looking at Gator, Magma and UDG too.  I was thinking of getting the Gator G-Club Control at £39, but then I remembered I have this!
 

And it's perfect!
