Mono Double Bass Thoughts?

Have other bags. Love my double and sleeve Monos.

 

I use a Mono double and tick (1.0?) with nano for all my gigs. Best double bag I've ever seen. Mine are mismatched colors, but the tick matches my original Vertigo.

 

Yes, the Pedaltrain. It's the shorter Nano not the Nano+, if that helps. Fits great.

 

Don’t have the double MONO, but I do have two singles. And two Ticks. No regrets whatever. The best bags money can buy, IMHO.

 

I have the Mono M80 dual, and love it. I thought about getting the Tick, but I generally have more stuff than will fit in it, so I just carry a separate bag. The one caveat with the dual is that it's pretty heavy when loaded with two basses (depending on the basses, of course), but with the backpack straps it distributes the weight very well. I knew that I was getting a well reviewed, sturdy bag, but I was still surprised at how well built it is. Even on gigs/rehearsals where I just bring one bass, I still usually use the M80, because it's such great protection. Oh, second caveat. I use a big honking GruvGear 4inch wide solo strap, and there really isn't a great place to put it other in the case compartment with the bass. I've got another decent gig bag that came with my Godin that I used previous to getting the Mono, and it had an awesome "strap pouch" that fit it nicely (also held three beers).

 

Bought a pre-loved Mono Double here on TB. Exactly what I wanted and great protection. Don't have the Tick and typically don’t fill the pockets to the brim, since I have a backpack for incidentals and want to keep the weight at a minimum.

 

Whoa... Does anybody make a gig bag that explicitly has beer holder compartments?!?! I would totally buy one of those!

 

Yes, an insulated cooler pocket! I’m in.

 

I must have an older Dual because mine does not have the D-rings for attaching a Tick. Could be something to verify.
My Mono Single is "Tick-capable" and I like that setup.

 

I don't use it often but I do have a Mono Dual. I really like that it has two completely separate zippered compartments for the two basses. That way you can take one out while the other remains safely zipped up inside the bag without having to be careful that it doesn't slip out and fall accidentally.

 

This is what made me trade out my iGig double for a Mono. Much better design.

 

I have a mono double and while it does offer the best protection to the 2 instruments, I wish it had a bigger pouch for storage....so I guess a tick is in my future

 

I've had the Mono M80 Dual Bass for several years and also the M80 Electric Guitar and the M80 Vertigo Guitar. All have the Thick D Rings. Have to admit that I was tempted to buy the Tick, but never made it happen cause the price was too much for such bag.

I'm not using the M80 Dual Bass often, but still glad I bought one. Never regret buying the bag, cause there were times that I needed to carry 2 basses.

 

Mono M80 dbl is the best I've found yet. Igig, Incase Dub, Undercover, the Mono beats em all. Wish the pocket was a little bigger, but it works for me.

 

Thread drift: It was only after I started bringing two basses with me to every gig/rehearsal -- thanks to the convenience of a double gig bag -- that my chops on fretless improved significantly. Prior to that I would only bring the fretless if I "needed" it. But once I got a double gig bag I would bring it all the time, which gave me the luxury of being able to say "Hmm, I wonder how this tune would sound if I played it on fretless bass?" and then voila! pretty soon i was playing my fretless bass orders of magnitude more frequently, and I got better at it.
