Double Bass Soft bag for bow?

[bherman]

Hi all - not sure if this is the right forum (vs bows and rosin) but thought I'd start here. I'm wondering if anyone makes a soft, padded bag for a bow that would fit into a DB gig bag bow pocket? I often wish that my bow had more protection when taking it to gigs, rather than just putting it into the long pocket on the front of my gig bag. The padded case that came with the bow won't fit in the pocket. I'm thinking that something with minimal padding would be better than putting the "naked" bow directly into the pocket, but can't find anything like it. Any thoughts?

I use this-it eliminates the need for a case:

I think Bobelock bass bags come with a foam sleeve for bows but....
In my opinion I feel that soft bow cases are only a false sense of security. If you were to leave you bow in the bag while taking the case off and some one stepped on it or if the bow in the soft case were sitting somewhere and someone bumped it or sat on it, its really not much difference compared to it being naked. I would say if you re looking for some protection for your bow get a hard case which will actually protect it. I know some cheap pool cue cases work well with bows, I feel like I've seen people on here recommend ones that were under $20.

I use a really cheap cordura sleeve (from Thomann) to avoid putting rosin off the bow and into the slightly padded bow pocket. But I use only carbon fiber bows in this pocket, for the wooden bow(s) I prefer the hard case.

I agree, I have a hard case and can use it when needed but I'm very careful about removing the bow from the bag before removing the cover from the bass, so I should be ok.

My Reunion Blues bow case fits the pocket in my Mooradian bag.

Of course, I could use the bow sleeve that same with the Mooradian like a Bow Sock if I attached a pair of shoe laces

But this sold me:

QBC's bow sock is constructed by a professional tailor from durable, flame-retardant fabric in Concert Black exterior, with a flame-retardant lining. This means your bass and your bow can burn to the ground, but your Bow Sock will survive to be passed down to your grandchildren. You can also use it as a pot holder.

I use a bow sleeve also - love it. Got it off of Etsy. Search there for "Quilted Bow Sleeve".
