Carvin SB5000 / SB4000 Roll Call...Part 6!

[Corey Y]

I was in choice overload when I ordered mine as well. Took me months to decide.

I knew what color I wanted as soon as I saw it (vintage yellow), however, choosing it was outside my budget. I went with natural.

Question: I am finding the stock Tolex case to be rather heavy. What other cases or gig bags are any of you using with your SB basses?

I use a ProTec Contego for the rare 1-bass-only outings, and a Warwick RockBag for a dual. The cases stay in the closet. I take my Zoom B3, an A/B box and all the cables I need in either. Both are great and relatively inexpensive (both together cost less that 1 mono single case).

iGig.

+1 plus a double Mono

Hopefully my Reunion Blues Continental bag. I won't know until the bass gets here. They drafted my account for the balance today, but the site hasn't been updated with shipping info yet. It did make me a little sad that the 80% balance was $1308. Much more than a stock one would have been. Hopefully it is worth it.

A finance officer once told me, "You don't drive your payment". I spent 1400 and got exactly what I love playing everyday. I'm thinking you will too.

I LOL'd. I know I will too. Plus the deep dragonburst quilt is so sexy. My deposit went toward that.

Pretty much any gig bag.

Pretty much any gig bag.

Anyone tried an SB in one of the lightweight cases like Roadrunner Hybrid?

No, but I've done the ProTec Deluxe and Contego, Access Stage 5, SKB, Markbass, Fender, Sadowsky PortaBag (I and II), inCase (Slim/DUB), and iGig 515. The only one I currently have that it might not fit well in is the Access Stage 3, but those are pretty short... they don't fit a typical inline J, either.

My SB5000 fit fine in a road runner but is currently being cradled by a Mono bag/case. Now thats protection!

Oh yeah, a Mono M80 works for me too.

Really? My SB5000's upper horn sticks out of the iGig 525. Can't close it. Is that the same bag you have?

I only use Body Glove One now. Solid, great fit for various bodies, protects with great handles and straps.

I have been looking for one of those. Are they discontinued?
