Gig bags. Which brand do you use?

My favorite is the Access Stage 5. It has the best protection of the several bags I’ve tried and also has quite a bit of useful storage. The drawbacks are that it’s kind of heavy for a gig bag and it’s really expensive. But I wish they made a dual bass version and would have been willing to pay the premium price if one existed.

Access does make a dual bag, but it’s a Stage 3, still a nice bag. I have a new one listed in the classifieds right now.
 
Mono M80 single and dual. I prefer the singles; the dual can get weighty with a couple heavier basses plus accessories.

The Gator Pro Go is a close second. The strap attachment is not optimal for me, and I’d prefer a way to stow the straps when not in use (like the Mono) so I’m not stepping on them when I carry in hand.
 
Look at the Gator ICON, the straps do stow away. It’s a new design, very similar to the Access stage 5, but has more pockets, and the straps stow away.
