What turned me around was when I got my first Steinberger and started gigging on upright. No hardshells available for either one and I soon got comfortable with the idea of a bag. Slinging the bass guitar over my shoulder leaving a hand free to carry something else soon became addictive.

Good quality modern bags (like Mooradian, Ritter or Reunion Blues, not the $25 cheapies) offer plenty of protection for my local gigs.

I do have hardshells for all my other basses but I don't take them to gigs any more.

I have hard cases for all my basses but use gig bags all the time. They take up less room in the car and allow me to sling them over my shoulder. For small gigs: bass over the shoulder, bass head in one hand, Schroeder Mini 12+ in the other. One trip.
