iGiG Bags at NAMM...

[YCBass]

Since we don't have an Accessories forum other than in the Classifieds, I thought I'd post here.

Anyone check these out? I am a proud owner of a 515 bag in tweed and it is a dream bag... Everything I've been looking for in form, function & beauty. I was more than happy to help spread the word on these at NAMM and I wanted to do the same here since that's what we bass players do - share gear finds - unlike our "G" friends who will go to the grave with a secret pedal for example. While hanging out at the Schroeder booth (which had the bags) I noticed that these caught a lot of attention, from a lot of named players too - I got to meet them all since I was just there!

MODS: If this is in any way, shape or form a violation of the CUP then please close or remove the thread. I know the reps at NAMM personally but I am not professionally associated with the company, I am not even technically an endorser but just a proud owner.

Here's the big question - how much? They sure look nice...

 

[J. Crawford]

The owner is present here on TB. Not sure of his Username.

Price?

 

[mynan]

Ahhh...but does it have a bottle opener in the strap?

very un-tom commerford of you! thanks!
do they have a two-bass bag?

 

[Lefty Geek]

Is the front pocket removable?

 

[west*coast*bass]

I agree with Yohann...these are great bags.

Because I must admit, being able to open bottles is more important than quality protection. :scowl:

I will be buying an igig or a mono in the next couple weeks. I am having trouble pulling the trigger as they are both expensive (IMHO) but worth it.

Glad you posted this news, since I am in the market for a gig bag, but I can't find any more info about them. They have a terrible website, and I can't find any dealers except for the company themselves on Ebay. $33 to ship a gig bag? No thanks. I have shipped basses inside hard shell cases across the country for less than that.

 

[brandinstroy]

$33 or less to ship a bass in a hard shell case? How? I have never shipped a bass that cheap before. Would be great to do so instead of the $50+ I have spent shipping basses. Seriously how are you shipping so cheap?

 

[YCBass]

They list for $180, but street is $150... Very well worth it IMO.

If you need more info pm TB'er mikoespanol or visit Link Removed

I use one. I love it. I end up stuffing so much stuff in the many different pockets that it gets pretty heavy though.

 

[brandinstroy]

how heavy are they with nothing in the case? And how do they compare to incase or mono

 

[silky smoove]

Those do look pretty sweet. My only concern is that when I sync it with iTunes it will delete my bass and leave a pile of mp3's in it's place... Wow... That was ********, even by my standards

 

[9mmMike]

What is the difference between the 525 and 515 iGiG's? And I do not want to see anyone answer 10! LOL

If anyone has specific questions about the gig bags, you can PM me directly or send me an email at [email protected]

Thanks!

How many beers can it stash when loaded with a long scale full size bass?

I was always hitting the top of door frames with my old gig bags so my main request was to find something that sat a little lower. These bags do! Now, no more ducking under doors.

In addition, they are very well padded, have handles everywhere and hold tons of stuff. I can easily fit my AI Clarus head, cables and a few pedals in the bag.

While I never had an inCase Slim, I did have the Dub. I much prefer this bag over the inCase.

I ended up getting mine from The Low End. Worth every penny.

I'd say 6 at least. More if you really tried... seriously, its that big.
