in this [B]case[/B] the question is....

[punkmetal]

What would be a good practical case for a bass? I have a hard shell and i liek it but i want to free my hands and be sure my bass is safe. i like the look of some of the back pack cases but i can't see myself spening $300+ for the high end ones...I also looked at these roadrunner cases online for under $100 but idk if they are a safe way to carry my bass. i am also looking at these cases cuz i play to play more at skool and the storage that these cases have is a plus cuz then i wouldn't that to bring the extra backpack i usualy bring with that holds my cables, tuner, straps, music, and w/e else i might need.

this is mainly for my ibanez BTB so it has to be a larger case too...

so basically what i am asking is...What is the best soft backpack or sling style case?

thanx

My local shops sells these for $100. They are superior to the Road Runner bag in every way.

youre looking for a soft bass bag?

i own 2 ritters (the bags, not the basses), and i tell you, they are cheese.

Is that supposed to be good or bad?

I bought one of these about 6 months ago. Liked it so much I bought 3 more for my other basses. Lots of room inside and out. I'd trust it to protect way more than a soft case, or even a hardcase for that matter. The size is slightly bulkier, but it doesn't bug me at all and is lighter than any of my HSC's. Bought the first one for $58, but it seems they've gone up since to $79. Best case deal out there IMHO. There's even a version with wheels.

Lots of threads on cases in Miscellaneous, which is where they belong. Moved, and bumped to the top.

Isn't Incase making gig bags again? Pricey but good.

for some reason i can't get you links to open (its my stupid DSL.... )

but yea

I looked at a few store and i found some nice stuff too

a local store is discontinuing the sale of all ritter stuff so i can get the (they say) $200 case for $80 and a different store is just starting to sell this one brand i can't remember the name of for $55. both ar back pack style and both look tough as nails. the ritter has more storage compartments tho. still unsure. ne more sugestions???

I have a Warwick Rockbag that came with a Corvette Std. 5. When I parted with the bass, I wouldn't part with the bag. It's a good bag.

i ended up getting the ritter bag...wow this thing is nice! has so much room for my suff and my bass fits in it perfectly

thanx for all your replies
