Double Bass Accessories bag

[andallthatjazz]

Anyone know of a good bag for carrying leads, extension cables, preamps, the odd shaker etc. I've tried a few but nothing seems to be a perfect match.

I'm looking for organisation as much as carrying capacity.

Most guys at my church use duffel bags. The kind you would buy your kid or use for a gym bag. Thats all I got.
I go to thrift stores and buy old luggage myself.

I use a backpack.. for one of my amps and cables.. a laptop bag for the other.

I've been using that approach for 20 years. Tired of tangled leads and broken pens.

Anyone out there using the personal fx1 or anything like that?

I also employee cord wraps I buy them from Carvin.com. 5 in a pack so all my cords are coiled and straped. Takes longer to tear down but no suprises when I open my case:-D

I tried that, but now I seem to just have a pocket for Velcro ties and one for leads

I've been using an old-school briefcase/laptop bag. The heavily padded laptop section perfectly fits my Genz Benz Shuttle 6.0 and has a velcro strap to hold it in place. There's another pocket with movable dividers that I've arranged to fit my tuner and pre-amp/DI pedals plus my pedal cables and wallwart. Expanding document pocket perfectly holds two instrument cables. Front flap compartment holds amp power cable and speakon cable plus has a pouch that fits my SM57 nicely. Oh, and it has a shoulder strap!

Honestly, it's pure luck that so much of my gear fits perfectly into this particular bag that my dad was no longer using, but as a result, I've never felt the need to shop out other gig or accessory bags.

It's expensive ($95 direct), but Mono sells the "[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]" for exactly this purpose. It's a smaller accessory bag designed to attach to their gig bags. There are pouches for tools/pens, straps to hold cables/headphones, etc.

The guitar tick looks good, but a bit on the small side.

On most of my gigs I double upright and Ubass, and I go through the band's own pa, so I have a multiway mains extension, preamp, ab pedal, tuner, 3 long jack cables, 1 long xlr, 2 psu units and Jack leads, plus all the extra stuff everyone collects. I need a sturdy, small, well designed bag with loads of room.

I am actually looking for a new bag. I had a reasonably good producers carry all that I bought from Thomann, but the straps started breaking quite quickly and I managed to get it soaked in antifreeze this week. I'll keep you updated if I find anything.
