I have to say the flight case I got with mine is super bomb proof. But I would like a lighter option when not as needed. I just want a gig bag that has enough substance to protect it from accidental dings and nicks

I have an obsession for wood. The musical kind.
I personally have been very happy with my Mono bags (I have a Vertigo and a double M80). They fit my Modulus Quantum 5 and my Lakland 55-94 no problem. I am also impressed with my Pro-Tec Contego, which is a great bag for the price. It's not as nice as the Monos, but it can be bought for less than half the price and is still pretty good. For backpack use, I actually like the Pro-Tec better as it sits better. That being said, I am not a touring pro, and usually am just taking my stuff in and out of the car or every now and then on public transportation.
I have never seen the Gator bags, so I cannot compare. I have heard good things about iGig bags and Sadowsky portabags as well, but have never used them.

whoa... just picked up a two-bass gator progo based on @songwriter21 suggestion.
this thing is beyond nice.
definitely gives mono cases a run for the money. oh, and about half the price!
the micro fleece interior is on point. wish i could crawl into the bag for nap-time.
oh, what the heck...

anyone have or seen the Fusion Urban. I was looking at the dual unit but the interior dimension seems close for the Gould. The bass is almost exactly 47" and the interior spec is 47.26" or something. Anyone know for sure? The Progo says its 47", does the gould fit well in there p?

it's actually about 50" from end to end.
it has that little 'pillow' to shorten the length to about 47"
but my gould fits just fine.
the neck 'brace' keeps the bass still when in the case.
hmm so the spec page is being a bit conservative then? Is you Gould also coming in at almost exactly 47"?
a little over 46" (46 3/8").
if you see in the pic with the gould in the case, there's clearance at the headstock and the bottom really is barely touching the 'pillow'.
