Gigbag for a short scale

Joe Nerve · #1 10-10-2011, 03:42 PM

Anyone know where can I find a cheap one? Like $15 to $20? Guitar bags are too short.

I have a couple of long scale gig bags . Lots of extra room but the shortscales fit ...

No need to buy another gig bag unless you just have one and need to bring two .

I use this for my Jag short scale:

was leaning in that direction. the gator bag looks cool, but if I buy one I want it to be gigbag shaped, and cheaper.

I had a rectangular gigbag once and remember not liking it, for reasons I don't however remember.

I looked hard for one for my 30" scale 4 in line headstock Landing and ended up using a regular scale Mooradian bag I already owned. Pro Tec used to make one for med scale instruments I think was in the $40 range. Dunno if they still do. I owned one once but couldn't find one when I looked recently.

Amazon.com: World Tour Deluxe Hofner Beatle Bass Guitar Gig Bag: Musical Instruments

I use these for both of my Epi short scales - a viola and an Allen Woody, they fit perfectly Very nice padding and pretty durable bags. It may be a bit more than you wanted to spend, but they are still super cheap for the quality of bag that they are.

Thanks for the recommendation, TC2112. I found them for the same price but free shipping at AMS. I put it on my wife's gift list.

It doesn't seem like a bigger (long scale) gig bag is a problem. It's not like a poorly matched hardshell case that allows the instrument to flop around.

Right on -
I bought 2 when I purchased mine so I met a minimum for free shipping on mine too, but yours is a better link if your just getting one. These really are surprisingly nice and very durable bags for the money. I use a few of their full scale bags too.

Thanks guys. I'm going to see what it's like carrying this (my new danelectro) in my regular gigbag. If it's no big deal I decided I'm going to stick with that as this bass is not going to be getting all that much action. If I decide to go for a bag, looks like the world tour one will be the one.

Try Rondo Music

Update. Regular gigbag works fine.

FWIW the 97' Squier Visa Musicmaster I just bought came with a case when it was sold new in 97' and it was a regular Fender gigbag.

Hmmm.... I bought a pink (salmon?) colored one of those for my wife back then, and it came with a smaller gigbag. You may have not gotten the original gigbag. Don't really matter anyhow.
