Recommend a gig bag?

Now that my old 3rd world P/J clone is now a shiny 'new & improved' fretless I wanna trash the POS gig bag I had for it.

 

I have a Roadrunner 'Pro' for my yammie and it's OK (it could a bit more padding on the bottom).

 

Just thought someone might know of an alternative I haven't run across yet.

 

Nothing real fancy/special, something under $100 and I can order online.

I've seen the incase bags. Top notch and if I had a high end, expensive bass I'd definitely have one (vs a hardshell)

 

I do like the Ritter RG9000B but doesn't look like it's available in the states. ??

 

The Warwick looks like a lot of bang for the buck.

I don't have anything useful to add, but I just want to see that bass again.

 

 

Been meaning to take a few pics now that it's strung.

I have two of them. A single and a double. I got them through the distribution company at a killer price. I was waiting so long to get them, they basically gave them to at cost.

 

I don't recommend the double bag...the handles and straps aren't strong enough to support two heavy basses. If you had a couple of 8 pounders or something, sure. Both of my basses are like 11 lbs...and it didn't do so well with them!

Just an update. I ended up getting a Warwick Rockbag 'CrossRunner' from GC (#549060).

 

It was a new item at GC. It said something about a pedalboard and I thought it meant one of the pockets was big enough for one but it actually came with a decent pedalboard (& velcro) in it's own pocket! Not that I have any pedals, but...

 

Anyway, VERY schweet! nicely padded (esp at bottom) denier, thicker than my other Road runner gigbag. Lotsa well placed gear pockets, HD zippers/pulls, Well reinforced handles/backstraps. I like how there are cinchable straps around the larger pockets to compress the contents so it won't shift around. I do wish the backpack straps were of the 'hideaway' variety like on my Roadrunner tho.

 

I was going to put up a link to the GC website but it's sold out and no pix.

 

If you're looking for an inexpensive (reg $139, bought for $49) bag this one is definately worth checking one.

The straps on my Ritter bag are unravelling. Started unravelling shortly after I got the bag. It's very comfortable to carry and I like the compartments. However, of the 3 bags that I have, this is most comfortable. But the other 2 aren't coming apart.

 

I saw a Body Glove gig bag on eBay and it looked really nice. I bid on it but it went beyond what I was willing to pay.

 

Right now, I have very mixed feelings about Ritter.
