Sadowsky? Access Stage Five?

Is this ..... Sadowsky Guitars | PortaBag

The same bag as this? ACCESS STAGE-FIVE GUITAR GIGBAG (AGB5-BASS) - Elderly Instruments

They appears to be the same bag to me. I'm looking for a new hybrid bag and the Access seems like the ticket. Yes I am aware of the Protec Contego but it has some features I dislike. Mainly the 2 piece Velcro handle and the Access is reputed to be of higher quality.

Anyone have experience with the Sadowsky bag?

Yep, they're the same bag. The Access Stage 5 is the only other bag I'd consider on level with my iGig but is more rigid and lighter weight. The problem is, unless you buy the Sadowsky Porta-bag (again, the same bag) they are absolutely impossible to find. It doesn't help that Access doesn't like responding to email or properly updating their site, lol. I tried for months with no luck.

My Portabag is the best bag I've ever seen. By a lot. If they made a double bag I'd pay an obscene amount of money to get one.

Sweet! Thanx guys! Sold a like new Fender tweed case today to help fund a new bag for my new bass. I don't really care that it says Sadowsky on it! Portabag it is!
