Flying with Mono Bag M80?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey there

I'm going overseas for a gig and I'm wondering if the Mono M80 will be able to protect the bass on flights? I know they're great with road trips but air?

hmm

If checking, I'd stick the bass inside the mono bag and then put both inside an SKB Bass safe.

Or a hard-shell golf carrier. Doesn't give away the object inside, and has lots of crush area.

Look at this. Imagine, it's your bass.

How do you feel now?

That's actually pretty tame. Imagine that happening and the conveyor belt is ten feet off the floor and it hits it so hard it flies off the belt and goes airborne.
