ian147 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Is anyone using one or recommend one at all. I've seen two online: https://www.andertons.co.uk/enki-amg-2-electric-bass-case-hard-case-for-2-bass-guitars-aircraft-hold-approved-316117?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIiaSs8oeS8AIVA-ztCh2wtA7tEAQYBSABEgLpEPD_BwE Which looks excellent but probably a bit much for my needs (no flights). Or https://www.andertons.co.uk/gator-pro-go-bass-2x-gig-bag-for-2-bass-guitars Which also looks decent but I do normally prefer hard cases.

Lozz196 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I had a duo gigbag but moved it on as although it made sense to me, in practical terms I found it too big heavy & cumbersome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian147 Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 Oh really, that's a shame. As I am just looking for a double so I don't need two cases when I take two basses. I never considered the weight issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobthedog Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 When I have had to take two basses I used two separate cases / gig bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) I have a couple of dual bags - they rarely get used currently. Would recommend both/either https://www.amazon.co.uk/RITTER-BASS-GUITAR-RCG700-9-B-BLACK/dp/B002OGVZDY and one of these: https://www.free-scores.com/buy/double-housse-nylon-ibanez-idbb5-pour-basses-electriques-70196 Edited April 22, 2021 by TheGreek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian147 Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 Thanks, I'll take a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Sounds counterintuitive but like @Lozz196 I was up for the idea in principle but in practice found 2 separate single bags much easier to carry, fit in a car, stash at gig etc.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like simplicity and tidiness, but the bulk and weight of a double bag is as annoying as having two bags around. You can't really win! I've never had a double case, and probably wouldn't bother for regular transport. Even when I was working stageside with big touring bands, it would often be numerous hardcases in a flightcase rather than one giant case for them all. Even roadcrews like a little bit of convenience! 😄 Reminds me of when I used to take the tube to rehearsals with a 5-string Stingray and the heaviest Jazz Deluxe V I've ever lifted in one monster gigbag. It wasn't any easier in my 20s, but I was too stupid back then to make it easy on myself! Ah okay, thanks for input guys. Think I'm gonna stick with separates and save the money for more basses I'll just have to make my lazy donkey do more trips to the car when I'm loading/unloading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I am using the double mono (not stereo?) when I have to carry a fretted and a fretless to a rehearsal or a gig. Not light, but doable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a light weight head and Barefaced cabs I can carry two basses and a 900 watt rig on my own in one go. Don’t give up on the double gig bag idea - I only one take a single bag if I’m taking one bass to a jam. (Just make sure you keep two cables and a set of earplugs in all your bags.)

AndyTravis Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I have a fender urban series double bag - now discontinued. Works fine and has done for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Another vote for the Mono Dual. Yeah, it's not the lightest, but it offers great protection and that comes at a weight premium. I take it to every gig along with my single mono. Yeah I know, three basses, but that just how I roll 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzyvee Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I can recommend this one for a double gig bag. http://www.harvest-guitar.com/en/Cow-Antique-oxid-3.html If you want something more solid then these are good. I have a single bass version and it's tough and light and I use it when my bass needs to go in the back of the van. https://www.scottdixoninc.com/webshop/cases/double-bass-guitar-case/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I had an Harvest leather dual bag that was almost weighting more on its own than the two basses inside. 🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killed_by_Death Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I owned a Mono bag for a guitar & they are quite nice, but their accessories are pricey, IIRC the little pouch you can attach to the D-rings is $200 USD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Fusion Urban double gig bag is great. Very rigid and easy to wear, I didn’t find it very difficult with two basses to be honest. https://www.fusion-bags.com/products/fg-double-electric-bass-guitar-gig-bag Now though I quite like being limited to one bass when I go somewhere.

peteb Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 (edited) I've got an iGig double bag that I use on most gigs, which will safely take two basses and all the leads and spares, etc that I need on stage. I quite like the fact that it is rather heavy as it makes it very unlikely that some opportunist scrote is going to attempt to pick it up and do a runner with it. This is fine if you just have to take it from the car and back, but is a definite pain in the a*se on the odd occasion that you do have to carry it any distance. I have had it for a fair few years now and it has done hundreds of gigs. It is now starting to show a bit of wear and tear and I must admit, I am thinking of taking two bags to gigs when the time comes to replace it...!

Hellzero Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Now I have a Mooradian EB DBL weighting only 5.1 lbs (2,26796 kilos) and as good as the Harvest leather ultra heavy double bag, but it's not on cheap side... http://www.mooradian.com/guitar-bass-covers.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddy Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I've got an old Peavey double gig bag that I bought years ago. I've used it a lot, mostly with my Fenders, but I feel more comfortable using my iGig or my leather Reunion Blues cases with my nicer instruments. They are just better quality cases, and to get that level of protection from a double bag means a heavier case than I'd like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
