Mi iGig is heavy (could not imagine a double bag!) but I do not travel very far with it on my back. Mostly it goes from the house to the truck and truck to stage. If I were a city-dweller and had to travel on foot, I'd look into one of them thar fancy cart/hand-trucks for hauling stuff.

I have a Mono M80 and a protec Contego. Definitely nice bags. The Protec offers more protection, but I do not think a LMII would fit, definitely a F1/500 or a MB500 though.

I really like both my Sadowsky Portabags, fantastic cases.

Gator makes great gigbags. They're really sturdy too, I tote around two guitars in my mine, looking to get a double bag for bass so that I can carry my ESP and a guitar if I'm catching a flight. But you should note that they only have a single strap, that goes only one way around. The quality is really good, have travelled using public transport with that thing and after four years, no damages, touch wood.

I have the iGig double bass bag, it's only 1lb heavier than the my Levy's leather gig bag. The people that are saying it's heavy must have some other bag, cuz this bag ain't heavy. I like the iGig over the Reunion Blues Continental, another great bag, only because the RB bag rides too high and you have to bend down everywhere you go which is my only gripe about that bag. The Sadowsky Portabag pales in comparison to these two bags with respect to storage and little extras like the velcro strap that goes around the neck of your bass to keep it in place in the bag.

I was researching gig bags recently - decided on the Protec Contego and couldn't be happier. Very comfortable to carry over one shoulder, but also has the backpack option or just carry by the handles (good balance). Pockets galore. Even better is the protection it offers being more of a hybrid case, and my 35" Lull 5 string fits perfectly.

im really new to this forum thing so im sorry if this is the wrong place to say this, but if anyone has an INCASE gig bag youd be willing to part with i would love to buy it from you. thanks.

I use the Protec Contego, best I've used so far.

Price matters.

For a fairly inexpensive gig bag, G&L makes a great one –nice and sturdy for a bag, 2 useful compartments, and a hanger hook. I bought one for $40 used, and it would be worth buying new for twice that.

I also have an Ultimate Support gig bag that I think pretty highly of –great storage in 3 nice compartments. It's my current fave for an affordable single bag. Paid about $45 for it used. Also about $80 new.

Both of them have hide-away backpack straps, which I don't ever use.

I've had a double Undercover gig bag for seven or eight years. It is comfortable, no tears, minimal wear, holds two 35" scaled basses fine and has a fairly large amount of room to store your stuff. I can't recommend it enough.

I bought mine at Bass Central. The double is currently $215 and the single is $149.

I recently bought an Access AB1EB1 - http://www.carryaccess.com/gallery2.htm - and I really like it. It does have backpack straps although they feel a little thin (I don't use them, but I tried them and they didn't seem horrible). The padding is THICK and I paid $60 for it. They also have some other bags if you're looking for hard sides. http://www.carryaccess.com/bags.htm

I have been very impressed so far

They have a double model for a 2nd bass or even more space.

I just went to GC to replace my OLD RR bag, and the front storage pocket is almost NON-existent.

Sorry for quoting myself, but I found out some info.

The gig bag with the huge front pocket isn't carried at GC anymore. It is Roadrunner's top of the line or BEST Bass Gig Bag.
