Gig Bag Suggestion

[atomicwash]

I'm looking for best value & protection in a bass gig bag. Maybe $50 to $150 range. Suggestions?

Thanks!

Its at the top of your price point and the bottom of their offerings, but the Mono Guitar Sleeve would fit the bill, of more protection is needed, their Vertigo line is the answer, although quite a bit out of your price point.     http://monocreators.com/guitar-bass-cases/

I'll second the Mono Sleeve. Good protection without too much bulk.

I have a Mooridian for 30 years, still works perfectly.

I recommend the Pro Tec Contego gig bag. I've been using one for my guitars and like the design, construction, and features of my gig bag.

I have a Mono, a bit expensive but I have no longer have concerns about the instrument in it.

I recommend a polyfoam rigid bag like this:

They're light like a bag, but protect like a hard case. Perfect for gigging. The Roadrunner bag (with the solid handle) is very nice.

If you go to Full Compass, ask for Ron.

I have one of the SKB foam cases.  I like it.

I just picked up 5 Fender P/J bass gig bags for $75 shipped from the thestratosphere on ebay. I'm not sure how good these are, but I picked up a 5 pack of Fender guitar gig bags for $100 shipped last month and those were decent enough (i think those were the same bag my Charvel San Dimas was shipped in) if you handle your own gear and are reasonably careful. I just have too many guitars and basses without cases and needed something to stash them away in. FWIW, some of the Indonesian Squier Teles are actually pretty decent guitars with a little adjustment and tweaking and a $20 Fender bag is good enough to carry them around in.

Thestratosphere charges the same shipping for 5 gig bags as a single, so it's worth keeping an eye out for a multi-pack if you can use a few. Guess they have to move the gig bags from all the gear they part out. No complaints here - nice price and good enough for what I need.

These are the guitar gig bags that I received - pretty decent imho.

There are bass guitar gig bag lots under 'completed auctions' that are the ones that I received.

I snagged a MONOCase for my basses.  Great protection, lightweight and I believe I paid $99 on sale from CMI for it.

Just wondering if Reunion Blues is still in business.  But those were pretty spendy for the leather ones.  Session bassists I knew back when dragged their basses from pillar to post in those things.

Hey guys, Thanks for the suggestions. I went with a Mono M80 and with a holiday discount, it came in under $150 with free shipping. We haven't gigged with it yet, but it seems like it will be perfect for local shows.

Cheers, Dan

I have since grabbed a Mono Vertigo for my bass.  With a 20% off come back to MF coupon, and they were blowing out the grey ones, I paid $175.  Pretty good deal on a top of the line gig bag.  And I think my bass could probably survive a fall better than  I could at this point.

Update......Mono is offering seasonal deals on direct sales. Could be a good opportunity, esp if you like the "freebies" like the "Tick". I COULD use a second Tick, but have a hard time justifying another gig bag, The "dual bag" looks interesting, but after zeroing in on guitars that "do it all" my need for hauling two guitars (like a "G" and "F" type) off to a play date is minimal.
