I absolutely love my Portabag. And like Rob I have a slimbag and had the Undercover double. I sold the Undercover to get the Dub Bag. I don't feel that the Portabag is heavy or a bear to carry at all.

Okay, first of all I said that I really like the Portabag; in 25 years of touring, gigging and recording it's the best gig bag I've ever had and I've owned quite a few. I also said that it's "almost" as heavy as a hard case. I guess it also depends on what's inside the case. Unfortunately, I don't own a Sadowsky bass (yet) so I've been carrying my heavy KSD 5 string which is 35" scale. In addition, I've got lots of other stuff in the pockets. As I write this, I'm standing on a very crowded train in Tokyo. For those of you who live in places that you have a car, it's really no issue but being a resident of NYC or Tokyo all my life, I can tell you that relying on subways and trains and long walks will make you consider the weight of what you are carrying and what you really need to bring. It's true that the Portabag is lighter than the InCase or a HSC. It's also better and that's why I now own one.

Yes, and one I'm well qualified for at least in distance estimation. Hey, it's just two miles! :eek:
:hiding:

(for others on this thread, this is kind of an inside joke from last week's NAMM... let's just say I slightly misjudged how far we were planning to walk) :D

Infamy. That's all I'm going to say about that story...

Yes, I am very spoiled that I am able to drive to my practices and gigs. That does make a big difference if you have to wear the thing for more than 10 minutes.

Now you just need to get one of those ultra lightweight NYC Sadowskys.:D

I just had to share....Los Angeles area just doesn't get snow that much. Well, today after the rain and clouds cleared up, this is what you can see on the mountains above LA.

There are more (12 total) individual close ups of the entire range here:
Note pic 2 and pic 4 show the Hollywood sign, griffith observatory and downtown Los Angeles

Note: Big Bear Mountain is not in any of these pics. It would be to the right of pic 12, but Big Bear is covered up with clouds and haze.
