Gig Bag for my Acoustic

[dandini]

Ive tried to buy a decent sized bag for my acoustuic bass but none ive found in my local retailer are big enough.

Anyone have any reccomendations?

Cheers

I wouldn't go for a gig bag for an acoustic - they're more fragile than an electric imho.

I got a Warwick Hardcase for my acoustic... yes it was £70, but, I'm gigging with it, I'm going on tour with it, and I'm quite happy to pay that much to protect a £500 instrument from damage.

The case is really good tho, and I would recommend it!

I use a Stagg gig bag for my acoustic bass, it's cavernous! My Ibanez has (I think ) a 32" scale and there's about 6" to spare. They are about £20.
Stagg also do a hard case it's about £50? I have no problem with gig bags for ABG , it will protect it from nocks and scratches, I dropped mine from about 2' once , no harm done. If it's just you in a car with an amp and a couple of instruments a gig bag is fine, if your on tour with the bands gear loaded into a van each night then get a hard case.
Hard cases for ABG are prety huge things to carry around.

I got mine from these guys [url="http://www.allinstruments.com/"]http://www.allinstruments.com/[/url] I teach there on thursday afternoons.
I'm pretty sure that they've got both items in stock, I can't find them on the website.
GAK do them too, just put "stagg acoustic bass gig bag" into google you'll get plenty of hits.
I've just noticed that they do an economy one at £19.99 or a padded one for£30, I'm not sure which one mine is , I can find out on thursday.
Mine has padding but I'm not sure if the economy has padding too.
