I purchased a GB Streamliner 900 about a year ago. I did not buy a carry bag at that time and since have been unable to locate a GB carry bag ANYWHERE.

However, I just purchased the following Gator bag ($35), and it is a perfect fit for the Streamliner. Side pocket for cord, fairly well padded, handle and shoulder strap.

Consider this if you are looking for one.

Ugh, consider yourself lucky you couldn't find one of their bags; I bought one along with my streamliner roughly two years ago, and it couldn't have been more of a piece of crap. It's front-loading rather than top-loading like the gator, and even getting the streamliner into it was a struggle because of the feet, and even then it fell apart within a few months. I've been using the gator since, and it's been perfect, couldn't be happier with it.
 
I've been using one of these since I got my 900.

Laptop compartment fits the amp like a glove. Other compartments fit everything else I need for the gig. Padding is heavy enough that I don't worry about a bump here and there. I get from the car to the club in one trip with this on my back, a bass in one hand, and a cab in the other. If you're looking for an all-in-one gear bag, I definitely recommend it.

I have that almost exact bag and it works great.

That has been my experience with the Genz-Benz bag also. The two flimsy zippers at the top are a joke. There is a small handle on top of the bag. You think they can handle the weight of a 6.5 lb. amp? No way!

Thanks for the info. on the Gator bag, I'll look for one of those.

This is the same bag I purchased for mine when the Streamliner first came out and Genz didn't have a bag for it yet. It's still perfect.

I like the storm case - works great and really tuff.
 
Not to take anything away from the Gator bag (which seems like a great choice), but I went a different route. This was custom ordered from Studio Slips. My preference was to have the amp sit sideways when carried by the handle but since Susan already has the dimensions it would be easy for her to turn it around so that the backside is carried facing down, knobs facing up. It comes with a shoulder strap. Since I'm the only person that ever touches my gear the protection this bag provides is sufficient. :) Invalid Link Removed
