Ultimate Cases

Sign in to disble this ad
Ran across these the other day in ebay. They look pretty interesting and the price is great. Looks like they could rival some of the higher end cases. I've seen them for as low as $40 shipped.
They are called the Ultimate support USS1-EB just in case the link changes or dies. I might be giving on of these a try since my skb is near the end of the road.

Well I went ahead and ordered one. Total price was a little under $45 with 2-day shipping from buy.com . I will post pics and reviews when I get it.
Here's some pics. The double bag looks killer.

Ultimate makes nice stuff. I can't imagine they would choose to go down suck street for their cases. Killer price point.

Pros
Price
Plenty of Storage Room
Heavy Duty Zippers
Storable back-pack strap
Plenty of padding
Hardware protection pads

Cons
Backpack straps put bass way over your head
Bag is kind of big

Overall
Overall this is a great gig bag and for the price it absolutely kills the economy bags you get at most local music shops. For some reason it's taking some me some time to get used to the handle being on the side it is. The bag does more than I need. My bass rides either in the front or back seat so it isn't exposed to much. Overall I say great bag at a great price looks like it will last a while.

Would You Buy One Again? What about a WolfPak?

Bringing the topic back from the dead, I saw this case at Best Buy, of all places, for $70.00. It seemed to be quite nice for even medium-heavy use, but as my title asks, now that you've had one for several months would you buy another? I thought the detail of interior panels in the location of the exterior pockets giving added protection over the head and bridge areas was a nice design, and the materials in general seemed pretty nice. If anyone else has experience with this case, I'd love to hear about it. There seem to be several sellers in the Google search results which have the OP's indicated price point of roughly $40, but they are typically out of inventory or totally unknown to me and perhaps not worth messing with.

Another case that looks interesting is the Wolfpak Bass Guitar Polyfoam Case. GC sells them for $105, while Music123 and MF sell the same case for $80.

One review at GC had some negative things to say about it and only gave it 3* while all others (few though they were) were quite a bit more positive on all sites. Again, if you have any experience with the WolfPak case I'd love to hear your thoughts and if you would buy another one.

The price point is nice, and while arguably not as intense as a Mono, with good recommendations either might well suit my need for a cozy home for my CV Jazz Bass.
