I dig the "pocket zipover" - Less easy access, but also harder for others to casually rummage through yer bag...

That is a nice case. It fit's your bass well.

However, my Sire Marcus Miller bass came with what may be the nicest gig bag on the planet.
It has the neck wrap, the bottom padding, the handle, the best strap system (perfectly placed and padded), a hook for hanging at the top, two well-sized zippered pockets, and a rubber gripper on the bottom. But the best feature is the reinforced siding. There must be a 3" plastic shell sown in the bag. You can pick it up from one end and hold it straight out. It's also light as a feature. And they sell for $50 from sire-usa.com last time I checked. And no, I don't work for Sire. I am just an engineer who plays bass and geeks out when I see something so well engineered.

These bags from GC are about the best you can get for the money. I have had Reunion Blues and Mono and a few other so called great bags and these Highway bags are just as good in my opinion and a few dollars less. Right now I have two ofthem.

One for my p and my j basses and one for my Rob Allen. Good purchase. My 2 cents

Yeah, Roadrunner makes good product, good value as well. I have 2 Roadrunner Boulevard gig bags, and they are fantastic.

Also an engineer, bassist and geek, this is the nicest bag I've ever owned.

From the Warwick shop:

• handmade from genuine hand-selected water buffalo leather
• 5 layer shell (2 mm EVA foam, 5 mm Polyethylene foam, 1.5 mm plastic plate, 15 mm foam, 5 mm foam-adhered velveteen)
• reinforced with a 40 mm EVA rim around the sides of the instrument
• 10 mm / 3/8" wide 2-way zip with metal zip-hanger
• velveteen interior lining
• equipped with the Guitar-Saving-System™ and Neck-Saving-System™ for ultimate protection
• protective leather patches above machine heads and bridge, and in the lower strap button area
• large pocket with 3 zipper compartments above the instrument body
• small zipper pocket above the instrument headstock
• 2 carrying handles (on the side and on the front)
• 2 padded cotton shoulder straps (80 mm / 3 1/8" wide) with metal hardware
• protective leather flap on the bottom of the bag for added security
• metal ring for hanging the bag up

I agree. I bought a non-Sire bass that came with a Sire bag, and I was amazed at how great the bag was. Still have both. I didn't know they were only $50.

It really is and for the money I'd say it wins a prize . I have all the top bags right on up to the incase and this one can hang price point and beyond .

For those who are looking for a slick working horse, the V10 might fit quite well

Love the V10. I played one a few months ago and it was killer.
Congrats buddy

Thanks man, the V7 are a Big Bang for the bucks, but this V10 puts it into another league. Highly recommendable IMO and totally underrated.

I just bought the multi scale Ibanez but in the case I don’t get along with B string my plan is to jump on the V10.

I bought it from Andertons, but Thomann has at least the 5 stringers available
