New Sadowsky Gig Bag

KJung · #1 10-04-2006, 04:54 AM

Check out the Sadowsky site. Roger has introduced a gig bag that looks very similar to the original version of the InCase Slim Bag.... IMO the best gig bag of all time!

Very nice!

Hmmmm, I just don't think I could carry around a Sadowski in a gig bag. I would rather have an armored case with proximity alert and chain it to my leg.

I agree with VRT_RONBO

But I'd use a Sadowski gig bag for a normal bass.

Just to make it look like I have a Sadowski when walking around

Ha! These gig bags are really protected. I haven't used a hard case with my Fodera/MTD/Sadowsky/Celinders or whatever fancy bass I'm playing for over 20 years.

These type cases (In Case, etc.) are much closer to a hard case than they are to a cheap gig bag.

That looks like a great gig bag. I might just have to get myself one of those sometimes.

just clicked the "Buy Now" for the bass one, cost:

$189.00!!!!!!!!!!! Worth it? Convince me to buy one. I have 2 Warwick Rock Bags, one single and one double (holds 2 basses). I also have a hard TKL case. Convince me to spend $190 + s/h for one of these.

Now that I would do!!!!!......Oh!...what?...How much?...$189...uh...then again maybe not.

Yeah, price is steep. That's why I'm asking for someone to convine me that it's worth it. I mean, I've been convinced to buy a Moody strap for around $130-$160.........After the StingRay5. Not getting anything before the StingRay5.

If that bag is as good as the Incase bags, it is worth every penny.

I have an Incase DUB bag. I often carry $5000+ worth of basses in it. It protects me basses as well as anything short of a flight case. I paid $199 + shipping for it, and it is worth every penny.

wait till one of the straps on your Rock Bag rips - it happenend to one of my students with his Spector inside. Luckily he caught the bass on the way down

The RockBag seems to be pretty sturdy. I don't abuse my gig bags. I had a $30 Musician's Friend gig bag that lasted me like 2 years. Then the strap button on the bottom started to put a whole into it, it's still useable. A friend of mine now has it and carries his Rogue around in it and the bag is now about 4 years old. And the RockBag seems to be much better quality than that Musician's Friend one.

Wow that bag does look a lot like the Incase. It does seem to be somewhat lacking on the backpack system, though.

I own a relatively new incase slimbag, and as long as the quality is the same for this sadowsky bag, I actually like it better. The sadowsky bag has some features that I like more than the incase bag, including that nice neck rest, and a double padded bottom where the bass would rest when standing verticle. The front pocket also looks considerably better too.

I was checking out that Sadowsky gig bag, I may have just found my Christmas present to myself.

Same here, that'll be the "gift wrapping" that my StingRay5 will come in.

I need to check one of these out.
