Wow that’s a good price for this bag? They seem to have gone up recently, I use the double version of this bag & can vouch for the practicality & quality….

Thomann. Seriously. Just read the specs on their gig bags.

I hadn't seen the Thomann bag before but it says they are made by Music Area, so it will be quality.

Music Area make branded cases for companies like F Bass, Dingwall, Skjold, and Yamaha. And I have it on good authority that they are the ones who actually make the Reunion Blues cases. They are like the Cort of the gig bag world.

Looks really nice, and if that external storage bag has the same dimensions as the Mono Tick (which, at 83 GBP, is a ridiculously overpriced piece of kit) it will comfortably house a Pedaltrain Nano. 

Shame they don't sell the external bag separately, mono one is so ridiculously overpriced

Def looks like a decent bit of kit, and a definite contender to the Mono + Tick for a lot less. Whether it’s as good is another question but from the spec it looks really good.

I have a Music Area bag that came with my Eastwood Hooky Bass. 

 

It's a very nice bag, but nowhere near as well made or padded as the Mono M80.

 

However it is much more comfortable to wear.

For a budget gig bag look at the TGI Extreme range, good bags for not a lot of money.

 

That would be my choice, too.  £100 isn't budget in my book.  But then I am a tightwad :D

TGI Extreme - £54. I use this for rehearsal and it holds my Jazz bass very nicely.

Looks nice, and they definitely took a good look at what Mono is doing! I like that it holds the neck, but I would have liked to see some sort of neck support underneath that strap. 

 

I'm looking for a new guitar gigbag for my G&L ASAT Special so I'm watching this thread with interest (as most of the mentioned bass gigbags have a guitar version too) :). There's a rather nice G&L gigbag that comes with the Fullerton Deluxe models but is available separately as well, but it's out of stock almost everywhere right now :|

I've got the guitar version of this for my headless Sei: https://www.thomann.de/gb/thomann_e_bass_gigbag_premium.htm

 

I wouldn't describe £100 as budget, but then again I'm cheap. And easy.

 

The only issue I have with the bag is that the (sizeable) reinforcement at the bridge end isn't quite in the right place for the twin strap pegs on the Sei, so one of them has bored its way to freedom. Wouldn't be an issue with single strap peg basses.

I have two of these:

So happy with them that I just store basses in them. 

 

My go to case is a Body Glove which fits most of my basses. I couldn't find a photo online. 

 

I did find this which looks like good vfm at £31
