Monocase Vertigo Review!

[gregvds]

Sorry to revive this thread,

MonoCreator, can you tell me if the problem of staining has been solved? If I order a Vertigo now, can I be confident my bass neck will not be stained?

Many thanks,

Many thanks,

I got a Vertigo a month or so ago, and have had no staining problems.

Thanks JakobT for your feedback. I'll order one then.

I've been very happy with it so far - the design is great, and the quality is top-notch.

I checked the Vertigo in shop, but they had only the guitar version, not the one for bass. But as my bass is 34" and has a rather small body, I think I'll have no problem with it. I'll report here my experience later.

Thanks again.

Warning...do not order the Vertigo if you have a 5-string! The headlock doesn't fit a 5-string!

It works fine with my SR5HH.

Good for you. You're in the minority.

No need for the snarky reply. I'm just providing a data point for potential buyers based on my personal experience using this bag with a 5 string.

The reply was not snarky. An Ernie Ball has a narrow neck for a 5-string. Most high-end 5-strings have wider spacing. Doesn't work with my Sadowksy or Kinal basses.

I really doubt he's in the minority- in fact you're the only person so far I've seen you said that five -strings won't fit in the Vertigo. My Zon 5s and Elrick and Ibanez 6s have all fit just fine.

The only downside is that the neck support piece will accommodate a 4 string neck but is not wide enough for my 5 string. My 6 string neck won't fit in at all. It still holds the basses in place just fine when zipping it up. The result is that "bulge" FunkyMan has mentioned.

I'm not alone. This thing is going back.
