coffee_king Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Hey Anyone got any ideas where I can buy a double gig bag from that I can fit two bases into? And I'm not talking stupid money like this [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LEVYS-DOUBLE-GIG-BAG-CM88-FOR-2-ELECTRIC-BASS-NEW_W0QQitemZ130354369342QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar_Accessories?hash=item1e59b9d33e"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LEVYS-DOUBLE-GIG-BAG...=item1e59b9d33e[/url] Yes, I know I could just use two seperate gig bags, but I prefer to use the one, and yes i know I could just stick two together myself, but I dont want to, so no stupid comments along these lines please thanks Shippo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecowboy Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 They are quite expensive, even my second hand one was about £45, I use a Ritter Double Gig bag which is fantastic and i thoroughly recommend them, but be prepared to pay for one.

dave_bass5 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I have a Fender one. I paid about £40 last year for it from Strings direct. Its gone up a bit now. [url="http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/products/5039-fender_deluxe_double_guitar_bass_gig_bag_black_"]Fender gig bag.[/url] I was very pleased with it until i put it on. The way the strap works means if you use it on one shoulder the metal strap clip actually sits on your shoulder and is bloody uncomfortable. I only really got it to keep two basses in at home so its not a big deal. It seems well padded and good value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBod Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 The Ritter one is ok, and the Warwick one is a Warick one (nice bag but with crap soft/thin padding). The Levys is worth the extra cash if you think you'll use it a lot. But - two basses together are heavy, and I find it a lot easier to carry two bags.

I had a similar idea and got this bass version [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/74302"]Case for 2 basses[/url] Thinking it would be easier to move around (got wheels) it's Bl***y heavy carrying it up stairs. Only used it twice! On reflection, it is much easier to handle them individually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I have a Warwick one for sale, collection only from Oxford - give me a shot if interested. ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffee_king Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Sod it, theyre just too darned expensive. I brought two "Italia" soft cases off Ebay for £9 each including next day delivery. They fit a precision ok, but not a hagstrom 8 string, nor a BC rich mockingbird, but I did some jiggling around with other bases and everything is now cased up. You can close this post if you wish now. Thanks Shippo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddy Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Just as a matter of interest-now that you're sorted it probably doesn't matter. But....... That Levy's one is a pretty good price if you ask me-you are looking at more than that for a single Mono or iGig case. I used an inexpensive (£40) Peavey double bag for a while,and the some of the stitching came apart after a couple of weeks. It's still usable,and it's pretty decent,but some foam is showing through. If you prefer to use a gig bag over a hard case-as I do-It really is worth investing in a good quality,well padded one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
