Platypus Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I've had one of those for about a year now - excellent gig bag, you won't be disappointed. Thats a very good price too. Suppose if I wanted to be picky, I say the handle feels like it should be slightly further forward, to balance better when carrying it. Or maybe I just carry basses that suffer from neck dive!

niceguyhomer Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 I'm seriously thinking of buying another one and ditching my Hiscox hardcase Na - that's silly innit, but having trawled around all the NW shops looking for a bag I saw nothing as good as this for twice the price.

Dubs Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Mine turned up today – very happy with it . Feels really solid and is sooooooo padded on the inside. It weighs a bit more than I expected but I don’t mind this at all cos I know my basses will be snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug inside this seemingly bombproof gig bag. Al and Paul – what am I meant to do with the wallet thing that comes in the front pocket? Tool bag? Cable bag? Makeup bag ? What do you guys use it for, or do you use it at all?

Earbrass Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 They do look good...but since the price is over 75% of the cost of either of my basses, I don't think I can really justify it. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niceguyhomer Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) Glad you like it Ben - I haven't figured out a use for that bag yet - maybe a Markbass rig? Edited February 12, 2009 by niceguyhomer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Any chance one of you guys could take and post or email me a pic of the back. specifically how the strap (assuming there is one) attaches. Im looking for a new gig bag but dont like them sitting too high above my head if you know what i mean. Cheers for any input. might order one next week.

It’s a small price to pay (quite literally) for a quality gig bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment I'm using a Ernie Ball bag and that sits lower than my head. I travel on the tubes and busses a lot and also carry a suit bag so i don't really want to have to take it off each time. when you say it sits high is this with the backpack straps or is there also a shoulder strap?

The bag is so well padded and because of this it weighs as about as much as a hardcase. It definitely sits too high for the Jubilee/Victoria style trains, but it’s probably alright for bigger District/Circle type trains, if that makes any sense.

Its not that i wont take it off as i get on and off the trains, i just would prefer to duck down a bit sometimes if I'm carrying other things. I have a double Fender gig bag that weighs a ton as well (with two basses in of course) so I'm not adverse to having a heavy bag on my shoulder.
