Double bass gigbag recommendations

[steviedee]

Hi 

looking for a double gigbag recommendations, just for rehearsals for the back of the car. Save me carting around cases. Not wanting to spend a fortune but still want something decent.

cheers

Look at the Gator pro go dual bass bag - really solid and quite reasonably priced! Also, Andertons sell the Reunion Blues RBX double bag which looks good although I’ve never seen one in person.

+1 for the Gator Pro Go X2. I have one and it’s a great gig bag. It’s an absolute steal for what you get.

Double gig bags are a young/strong bassists game - if you`re  neither both or either don`t bother. I thought it would be a great idea and found it really wasn`t. Great idea on paper, foiled by middle-aged knackeredbackbassist syndrome.

This is very true! 2 basses in the same gig bag is very heavy! I only use mine when I really need two basses...

Another vote for the Gator Pro Go. It's only used for car to venue so I don't bother with the shoulder straps but in terms of convenience and protection, it's brilliant.

Hi folks gator looks good and the  Reunion Blues RBX also interesting pricier but lighter! I saw a Canto which I believe are made by Public Peace which looked good also. I'm literally walking 50 yards into the studio a few days a week just can't be bothered carrying cases!

Gator Pro Go 2x every day of the week! Top quality item at a very good price. I actually want to be buried in mine......

I got a Mono double gig bag from Bass Direct many moons ago. Big thumbs up from me. 
 

Two basses + 900w head + 2 cabs now do able on my own in one trip.

 

Got to love modern gear. 💃💃🥳

I have a Warwick double gig bag that must be over 10 years old now, It's put up with plenty of use & abuse.

Zips are all holding up, with only a bit of fraying to the piping around the edges.

When it's time to replace it, I will go for a Mono..

I’ve posted this elsewhere but I’ll reiterate it here - if size/bulk is a consideration for you when looking for a double case, the Gator is significantly deeper and chunkier than the Mono dual. I took a photo of the two cases side by size at BassDirect a couple of years ago to illustrate the difference. Gator on the left, Mono on the right.

 

Of course, if you aren’t worried about the extra bulk, the Gator is a great case with tons of protection for significantly less money than the Mono!

I bought the Mono dual bag.

1) it only JUST fit in the taxi,took up the whole back seat.

2) two basses are REALLY heavy when you are old and have a bad back lol

3) I NEVER needed a backup bass before, and still don't

I’ve used a Gear for Music case for about two years. They’re really robust and do the job for a very sensible price. The only drawback is that they don’t sit very comfortably on the shoulder, but if you use the handle, they work well.
