Hello low end brothers (and sisters). I recently purchased a new MONO bass gig bag which I like very much however, after getting it home I noticed one missing very important feature that I use all of the time. There is no hand grip on the front neck area of the case. This makes lifting the case with a bass inside into and out of the car or onto a bed or similar surface very uncomfortable. I noticed that the case already had two D-Rings in the very place I would expect the hand grip to be. After a little checking, I found this really nice leather accordion handle on Amazon (approx $30). It is a perfect fit and solution to this problem. I already own a couple of Gator Pro-Go gig bags and they have a front facing hand grip which I love and use all of the time. You might want to purchase one of these as well. Trust me, you will thank me. Blessings to you all!!!

I’ve never felt the need for a handle in this position personally, but kudos for coming up with something that works for you! 
I just bought a new MM Stingray Special and while I really like the MM-stenciled Mono soft case that came it, I was disappointed to see that this case has no provisions for blackstraps.
I wish I could find an add-on solution for a backstrap that works as well as that handle add-on…

My Mono dual already has a sewn strap on the back side of the neck. I find it very handy and use it often.
Wow, that's disappointing. Backstraps are part of the reason why I like gig bags as much as I do.
It really is!
I was really pleased to see the case when I opened the shipping carton. But it was 3 days later that I noticed, Sacre Bleu! No back straps!
But I have a $185 solution….
When I bought my Lull P5 18 months ago, they were out of the nice Mike Lull-stenciled Protec soft-shell cases, so I bought a un-stenciled Protec case.
I just learned that Lull has those cases available now, so I ordered one and I can use the un-stenciled case for the Stingray.
And maybe sell the MM Mono case to a Stingray owner that’s looking for such a case.
Or not…:
(And sorry for the thread topic swerve!)
