As a newbie on this forum I've yet to try this forum's search function on this topic but I'm guessing there's some old threads on the subject around here somewhere. Incidentally, I stumbled across this one on another bass forum a few days ago and it may have some info that might be of some help to you: http://www.bluegrassbassplace.com/ph...ight=golf+cart

I have seen a few of these golf bag conversions over the years at various outdoor jams but, personally, those bass buggies look to be a little better designed.

Before you go to all that work, check out the KC Strings Bass Buggie. I'm still quite happy with mine, though I have to remove it in order to fit the bass in my car.

Maybee you old guys just need to get more exercise and carry the bass around, before they plant you in the ground in it.....

Another vote for the Bass Buggie. You can wheel the bass very easily and it can be used w/o the case on the bass. Also the bass can be played w/ it on as well. A real boon for those outdoor location, to location, to location jobs and/or festivals. Just wheel it over & keep playin!

A whole lot lighter and smaller than those golf carts as well.

I bought an SKB hardshell golf case at a yard sale for $15, thinking I could just put my Azola biugbass in its padded soft case inside- but the golf case turned out to be a few inches short :-(

If you *do* find a hardshell case that your bass fits in, buy a sheet of 3M microcell foam- say something around 6" thick. Cut out chunks to support your bass and glue them in to the base.

http://www.duckbrand.com/ I would recommend at least two complete wraps of the bass for security.
