iGiG Bags at NAMM...

YCBass · #1 01-20-2009, 01:16 PM

Since we don't have an Accessories forum other than in the Classifieds, I thought I'd post here.

Anyone check these out? I am a proud owner of a 515 bag in tweed and it is a dream bag... Everything I've been looking for in form, function & beauty. I was more than happy to help spread the word on these at NAMM and I wanted to do the same here since that's what we bass players do - share gear finds - unlike our "G" friends who will go to the grave with a secret pedal for example. While hanging out at the Schroeder booth (which had the bags) I noticed that these caught a lot of attention, from a lot of named players too - I got to meet them all since I was just there!

MODS: If this is in any way, shape or form a violation of the CUP then please close or remove the thread. I know the reps at NAMM personally but I am not professionally associated with the company, I am not even technically an endorser but just a proud owner.

Here's the big question - how much? They sure look nice...

The owner is present here on TB. Not sure of his Username.

Price?

Ahhh...but does it have a bottle opener in the strap?

Is the front pocket removable?

west*coast*bass · #7 01-20-2009, 01:36 PM

I agree with Yohann...these are great bags.

Because I must admit, being able to open bottles is more important than quality protection.

I will be buying an igig or a mono in the next couple weeks. I am having trouble pulling the trigger as they are both expensive (IMHO) but worth it.

Glad you posted this news, since I am in the market for a gig bag, but I can't find any more info about them. They have a terrible website, and I can't find any dealers except for the company themselves on Ebay. $33 to ship a gig bag? No thanks. I have shipped basses inside hard shell cases across the country for less than that.

stroy05 · #11 01-20-2009, 01:49 PM

$33 or less to ship a bass in a hard shell case? How? I have never shipped a bass that cheap before. Would be great to do so instead of the $50+ I have spent shipping basses. Seriously how are you shipping so cheap?

YCBass · #12 01-20-2009, 01:49 PM

They list for $180, but street is $150... Very well worth it IMO.

If you need more info pm TB'er mikoespanol or visit www.myspace.com/igigbags

burkhardty10 · #13 01-20-2009, 01:51 PM

I use one. I love it. I end up stuffing so much stuff in the many different pockets that it gets pretty heavy though.

stroy05 · #14 01-20-2009, 01:54 PM

how heavy are they with nothing in the case? And how do they compare to incase or mono

silky smoove · #15 01-20-2009, 02:02 PM

Those do look pretty sweet. My only concern is that when I sync it with iTunes it will delete my bass and leave a pile of mp3's in it's place... Wow... That was retarded, even by my standards

9mmMike · #16 01-20-2009, 02:09 PM

What is the difference between the 525 and 515 iGiG's? And I do not want to see anyone answer 10! LOL

mikoespanol · #17 01-20-2009, 02:22 PM

If anyone has specific questions about the gig bags, you can PM me directly or send me an email at info@flyigig.com

Thanks!

How many beers can it stash when loaded with a long scale full size bass?

I was always hitting the top of door frames with my old gig bags so my main request was to find something that sat a little lower. These bags do! Now, no more ducking under doors.

In addition, they are very well padded, have handles everywhere and hold tons of stuff. I can easily fit my AI Clarus head, cables and a few pedals in the bag.

While I never had an inCase Slim, I did have the Dub. I much prefer this bag over the inCase.

I ended up getting mine from The Low End. Worth every penny.
