Mono Vertigo gig bag issue

[BassPilot]

It's a GREAT bag. We always regret spending that much on something like a bag but that will be your only regret. I don't worry about my basses getting damaged in transit any more and hard cases are a thing of the past .

Do you think you could fit a class D amp (like the Mesa D-800+) in the pocket?

I know several people have tried the D-800 experiment, with mixed success. It’s the height of the amp that’s critical, and the pocket on the Vertigo is large, but narrow. D-800 is on the tall side. I would be more confident with heads like the smaller offerings from GK and TC Electronic.

Thanks for the info. It looks like the D-800 is about a half inch taller than the D-800+, so maybe it’ll work. Just placed my order for the bag, so I guess it’s moot now, haha. I’ll let ya know if it ends up working.

The vertigo label inside my Mono gig bag is as soft as a baby's butt. I can't see how it would damage anything. My only complaint is that they did not put an upper handle on their expensive gig bag. I asked Mono if they had one and they told me I don't need it but it sure comes in handy. I bought one at Lowe's which you can find in the area where they make keys. Best thing about the Mono Vertigo is your musician buddies will think you play bass better once they see you with one. It is a real nice gig bag. I won't buy the "tick" because all the added weight is supported by your bass and loading a bunch of crap in a gig bag is a bad idea-better off with a separate bag.

see you with one.

Actually, the weight of the Tick is supported by the gig bag itself (unless you put in something supremely heavy). It’s easy to do the experiment yourself, by attaching a loaded Tick to an empty Vertigo. The Vertigo will hold its shape with no bass inside.

I just got a Vertigo and it's the most solid bag I've had to date. Not as much pocket room as I'd like but I bought it to protect my basses and that's what is does best.
Has anyone experienced the issue in this video with with logo on the bottom pad scratching their bass:

I simply cannot see the logo causing the damage to his guitar. It's more likely the chips on his guitar are damaging the logo. Correlation does not imply causation and in this case, I find it hard to believe the logo would do this.

I have a Mono Vertigo and it is worth every penny I paid. For the record, my Vertigo logo remains unblemished after a year of continual use.

No problem here
