Recommend me a VERY good gig bag please..

#162
This whole thread has gotten me to thinking about things.

I have the Mono M80, the Protec Contego and the IGIG. I think all are nice but I'm now thinking that if I had to only have one it would probably be the Mono M80.
My reasons are;

Lighter and more maneuverable.
1-Outside material is water resistant and doesn't hold dust, dirt like Cordura.
2-I like the strap pocket, I generally just use the left one over my shoulder and other tucked in.
3-Holds basic stuff and if more is required, I can use the "Tick" my wife got me for my birthday to carry extra stuff.
4-Oh.. And I like the handle better on the M80, it's solid in the hand, not two straps held together.

Maybe I should sell the other 2 and put it towards another bass? Hmmnnn....

Just saw a vid on YouTube where they run over a bass with a car inside an IGIG and it survived!

Hmmmmmmmm ..... :eyebrow:

Although, Reunion Blues did their own similar video. They put a guitar in one of their Continental bags and then threw it off a four story building and it escaped unscathed. I guess it's good to know the bag can protect that well, but you won't catch me throwing any of my basses off of a building.

I did see a not-quite-as-severe demonstration first hand, though. I was once talking with my instructor about gig bags and he told me how much he liked his Continental. To show me just how much, he put his pride and joy custom six-string into his Continental, threw the bag across the store, it tumbled and bounced across the floor, hit the door, and rebounded back. He took the bass out of the case and it was perfectly fine. I thought he was nuts, but the bag protected it.

Yeah, color me skeptical: I don't think you could even fit a car inside an IGIG!

I'm sort of always on the lookout for some type of case, not a gig bag, to hold;
2 micro amps,
a preamp,
two mics,
songbook,
2 speaker cables,
3 power cables,
2 10' extension cords,
2 20" mic cables,
2 tuners,
tiny tool kit,
Small bag with various adapters,
Small collapsed music stand

I change it up, laptop bags, backpacks, lockable hard cases, haven't found the right thing yet. I liked the backpack on that mono site.. Spendy though..

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but have you seen the Fusion-Bags?

They have clip on and zip on modules, not sure of the quality (and very pricey), but the idea is cool. (www.fusion-bags.com)

I thought this was interesting. The new bag seems to incorporate a lot of the features that folks discussed as the reason they chose the bag they chose, ie handles, padding and shock absorbing?

Huh... Never seen those before. Are they new?
Would definitely like to see/feel a Gator ProGo side-by-side with a Mono M80.
Someone should sell those "BodyBlock Internal Shock Absorbers" as a separate aftermarket accessory!

I know this thread has been quite for a while (sorry!) but I was wondering if anyone with an iGig 515 has tried to fit a pedaltrain nano in the top pocket? I plan on putting a Shuttle 9.0 in the lower pocket and if the top could fit the pedaltrain... well, that would be exciting :)

Thanks!

How does the Carvin bag compare to the Mono and Reunion Blues bags? Those latter two are too expensive for me and I don't travel anywhere anyway. I just want something more convenient to encase my bass because I don't feel like using a heavy hard case any more.
