Double Bass Light Weight Bass Bag

[Mgaisbacher]

I'm looking for a light weight bag for when I fly with my bass. Right now I have a mooradian and its great but my bass in the flight case, in the mooradian with the neck detached is 54/55lbs, just barely over most airlines overweight limit.

I weighed the bag and its about 8lbs and some change so I need a bag that's just slightly lighter. I really want to have some kind of bag if I fly somewhere and put the bass together and have multiple gigs in a region or something so I don't have to disassemble it for every gig.

I see David Gage has a mooradian light weight bag for this purpose but no info on the weight. Also it is $300 which is a little more than I would like to spend for what my needs are. Anyone have any experience with any other light bags?

Thanks, but I should specify the bag needs to be under 5lbs. Since thats the amount of weight I need to save, I already have a David Gage removable neck flight case so I am not looking for a flight case, just a bag to put my bass in once I arrive wherever I'm flying.

Maybe something along these lines? Folks don't like the design though. Supposed to be 4 lbs.

Maybe an old school canvas bag?

They pop up occasionally. I have one in my attic, but it’s rough. If you can’t find a better option, talk to me.

I have the Gage Mooradian for my Chadwick and it is very light with basically no padding. Expensive though.

Just talked with shar and it looks like even that is slightly too heavy for my needs.

And yeah I’m thinking maybe I’ll try to find a preowned mooradian or something to save some $$. Really I just need it for certain airlines that want to charge overweight + oversized. Because my gage neck off case is still oversized by most airlines standards
