Road Runner Pro Electric Bass Gig Bag $19.95 Reg: $39.95

IMHO, The Musician's Friend gig bags are made cheap to be cheap. I had one that had been out of the house once, and babied, but when I sold the Epi Thunderbird and bag the buyer got it and complained that it was ripped. I had missed it, but I'm sure he was telling the truth. I'd advise passing on this bag at $19.95, $9.95, or even $0.99.

Are you talking about the MF brand bag, or the Roadrunner that was posted above?

I just ordered two different gig bags (both were 19.95) on sale from MF two days ago. I hope they're decent enough. I wish I would've known that this sale/clearance was coming.

Free shipping. These are a good deal even if used for closet storage.

The RR bags are nice. This one looks to even have padded backpack shoulder straps.

this is one of the better RR bags for sure. Lots of padding & the backpack straps. Great bag, even better price!

I'd call the customer service number for MF and tell them you ordered two days before they put them on the Stupid deal of the day. They adjusted pricing for me once in a similar situation.

Regarding the bag I had: I believe it was a lower grade than this one, but check out the reviews on this bag and all their bags. They are all negative and talk about rips and seams that fail. Buyer beware.

yeah, I read the reviews on all their bags. The reviews were mixed. It seems that it's luck of the draw as to whether or not you get a good one.

Thanks Kenstee! I ordered one. Keep those hot deals coming!

Just got mine today from WWBW...they matched and beat the MF price, that day. On first glance...the zippers seem rugged and the padding and cloth seem more than adequate. The pockets are pretty unflexible when it comes to expanding. Which means that if you have sheet music...then it will be no problem, but, something fatter like a binder or thicker will max out the space.

I believe that the Boulder bag I have seems like a better bag....but, this one isn't far behind it. If you don't carry alot of stuff with your bag...and need something that's grab and go...the RR Pro will be great.

The two carrying handles fit well and seem very sturdy. There is also a little rubber footing on the bag. So, that when you stand it up, with bass in tow....the strap button will have something nice and thick to keep it safe from the floor.

Overall, thumbs up! If the Boulder Bag is a 5 of 5....then this is a 4 of 5.

I tried matching and they told me $25

I had one of these for my Strat already - it was used when I got it and the upper pocket zipper had broken - but it remains intact and is used frequently.

The Bass Bag arrived yesterday and is padded much better than the strat bag. The zippers seem heavier than the strat bag too.

I have a fender bag that the main zipper crapped out, and it was going to cost $36 to buy a new zipper and have it installed.

Yeah......I'm glad I let myself get talked out of this one.....NOT !
worthy purchase. even if the zipper goes.....I will have something done....this is a decent bag.

I have a Kaces and a CNB from Rondo that outlived my Fender Deluxe bag by more than 3-4 years.

Who did you use to try and match the price? I had good luck with Wood Wind and Brass Wind site. It took the guy a few minutes to get approval...and then they knocked off 2 bucks.

dave88 · #14 09-22-2010, 01:14 PM

I used that site, but online.

I have always used the phone for price matching. It's easier to haggle the price down that way. Hopefully, that will work for you next time.

I have found that J&R out of NY will also haggle the price down for you...and often ships for free.
