scrumpymike Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) Gig bags suitable for short-scale basses aren't easy to find so I'm always on the lookout. Just bought a really nice TGI Extreme Protection padded bag from the independent guitar shop near my daughter's in Poole. The smaller one of the two they had on display is perfect for my headless, short-scale ACG Border Reiver and cost a reasonable £40. It's a good compromise between light weight, compact size and protection. Neat features are extra handle for carrying vertically, big back pocket to hold straps when not in use, internal velcro strap to secure top of neck, and different finish from (IMHO) boring black. Also impressive is that it still stands up against a wall when empty and unzipped. Just done a quick online search and the gear4music link below shows the closest I could find to mine, although this may be newer design as mine doesn't have the black webbing for the handles. Annoyingly, can't confirm size of this one either as they don't give dimensions. Equally annoyingly, they are out of stock (that's Xmas for you!!). I'll grab a shot of mine when I get a minute. https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/TGI-Extreme-Series-Electric-Guitar-Gig-Bag/2WP7 Edited December 22, 2019 by scrumpymike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I've got the bass version for my Jazz bass and they are great bags. Plenty of padding and comfortable when worn like a backpack - just need to remember to duck when going through doors or I too would have a headless bass. I have the older black version for my other two basses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have solved my quest for a new gig bag Mike. It will suit my boring black bass just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I have the TGI Extreme and am very pleased with them - 2 x bags for regular basses and one for an acoustic bass. The best vfm I have tried. I also discovered that a Fender Mustang fits exactly into some scoped rifle bags (or at least the particular one I got), which offer good protection, have pockets (for ammo) and are cheap in comparison to guitar bags. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must hastily point out that my Andyjr build in progress is also 'boring black', which should contrast nicely with the grey bag 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
