Hi,
I want a gigbag with a good protection and also lightweight. I can put the price to get it.
I thought about the undercover, I' m sure these are good to protect my basses but are they light ?
If you have over suggestions don' t hesitate. |

| | | | The two lightest, high quality (and somewhat expensive) gigbags are Mooradian and Mono.
The Mono has more protection (hybrid/stiff design), but the Mooradian has much more pocket space.
Both featherweight and top of the line IMO and IME. |

VERY nice mid priced bag... decent quality, plenty of protection, lightweight, plenty of storage in the pockets. Great bag and a super bag for the money. |

Contego is definitely the lightest and most affordable. Quite a few builders also use Contego bags to ship out their basses as well. |

For me it kinda defeats the portability of a bag. It does offer offer outstanding protection though. Mine will be for sale when I get some pics done.
+1 on the Mooradian. |

Light weight and lots of pocket space, and comfotable to carry.

|  | On the TB leaderboard for low talent/gear ratios! | | Join Date: Jun 2000 Location: NJ | | Not long ago I asked my instructor about gig bags and he strongly recommended a Reunion Blues Continental based on his experience. Apparently the video of them dropping a guitar off a building is true because he had enough confidence in his bag to throw it, with custom built 6 string in it, across the store. Pretty impressive, but pretty insane.  It's obviously extremely well padded and it also tons of storage space. The drawback for me is that I wanted something light weight and it's a pretty heavy bag.
I found a used Mono M80 here and LOVE it. The only drawback for me is that I think the front pocket might not be big enough to hold a MB500 or F1 sized micro head. I'm looking for one of those, so I'm really hoping it will fit. But I still love the bag.
A few people mentioned a Contego, which I was also interested in. But I didn't see one in the stores near here and I couldn't find any pictures of what the inside looked like, so I passed. If I do need to replace the Mono because I need more storage, I might give on of them a try.
