eshears Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Here's what I'm looking for: a gig bag that can carry 2 basses [b][i]and[/i][/b] has room (either inside or via an ourside pocket) to carry my Genz-Benz Shuttle 6.0. Also, it needs to be available in the UK. The Shuttle is so small that I thought this task would be easier...not so! Here's what I'm looking at so far: [url="http://www.levysleathers.com/product;cat,29;item,101;Standard-Gig-Bags-CM88"]Levy's Standard Double Electric Bass Bag (CM88)[/url] [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/rockbag_rb20611.htm"]Rockbag 20611BPLUS Double Bass Bag[/url] [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/ibanez_double_bag_trolley_ebass.htm"]Ibanez Double Bag Trolley E-Bass[/url] [url="http://www.accessbagsandcases.com/ab3db11.htm"]Access Stage 3 AB3DB11[/url] [url="http://www.protecmusic.com/items.aspx?ProductID=576&InstrumentID=5&InstrumentGroupID=4&CategoryID=2&subCategoryID=1"]ProTec Deluxe Double Electric Bass Bag[/url] [url="http://www.mooradian.com/Electric_Basses.html"]Mooradian (Website says custom bags are available)[/url] [url="http://goincase.com/products/detail/dub-bag-cl56066/7"]Incase Dub Bag (Expensive, and not sure of availability in UK)[/url] [url="http://www.basscentral.com/2003/gigbags.shtml"]Undercover (Also expensive, have to ship from USA, but have confirmation that the Shuttle will fit!)[/url] And I already know that this one will not work: [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Protec_Gig_Bags.html"]Proel Deluxe Double Bag[/url] So, does anyone have any experience with any of these bags and thing the Shuttle might fit?

Kiwi Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 The Levy's bag I have does the trick. I can fit the Shuttle inside its gig bag inside the pocket of the Levy bag! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Incase Dub Bag will as well, they are expensive but easily the best padded case available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 If my Incase gig bag had a vagina, I'd make love to it. It's a brilliant gig bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I'd personally go for one with wheels like the Ibanez. my Gold Warmoth weighs enough on its own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eude Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Hey man, just realised you had a post on here as well as TalkBass... Like I said on TalkBass, check out www.probag-net.com Pretty sure they used to make the Low End bags, as they are identical, but a fair bit cheaper. I got one, shipped from Bolvia, of all places, for $180 all in which worked out about £130 at the time. I could not be happier with mine I can get some pics together if you want too. They do custom bags and adjustments too, so you could be quite specific about the dimensions of a Shuttle Shaped pocket...

eshears Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 And now I've also found this one: [url="http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/products/955-ritter_rcg700_double_gig_bag"]Ritter RCG700[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's yours weight-wise?[/quote] Hey man, it's not too bad actually, I was pleasantly surprised by the weight, although it is a single bag rather than a double. I was using a top of the range Ritter bag which was a lot heavier, one of the new style ones and it literally fell to bits over the last 2 years. I was very very disappointed with it, when I finally put it in the bin, it had no grab handles left and only one shoulder strap! The Pro Bag is really a breath of fresh air, I've finally found a bag worthy of carrying my shiny Shukers around. If you want, I'll try and get some photos for you next week.

I must admit i haven't actually taken it to a gig yet, its just storing two basses in. I would think its not as robust as some of the others mentioned here. I went for this one because its not quite as big and bulky as the Ritter but then i like my bags like that. It has a big pocket on the front that i would imagine is big enough for a Shuttle but cant confirm it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just has a foam separator. Although mine is blue, its more like this: [url="http://www.bassexchange.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=93"]http://www.bassexchange.com/catalog/produc...?products_id=93[/url] I was told it was made by Levys but maybe it wasn't...

eshears Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Just got an e-mail directly from Levy's. The outside pocket on the CM88 is 12" x 14" x 3"...perfect. I'm going to pick one of these up soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
