Title: Gig Bag for Essence
Post by: lyla53 on March 26, 2014, 08:52:14 AM

I wanted to see if someone could recommend a well fitting quality gig bag for a long scale Essence 4. Backpack or over shoulder style. Extra storage for a Aguilar TH500, cables, strings, batt.  would also be an advantage. Any price range. Thanks

I just bought a Mono bag from Bass Northwest and they had an Essence that they tried in the bag for fit before I bought it.  It has great neck support and plenty of storage space in it. Everything is well padded and well thought out.

Thank You - The fit is important since the Essence body is smaller than most. What model did you get?

I believe it is the M-80,  there is also a stand up version called the Vertigo...

I have to second danno's recommendation.  I picked up a Reunion Blues bag recently for my SII Bal K and it fits like a glove.  Obviously not a replacement for a hard case or tour case, but far beyond a typical gig bag and plenty adequate for short distances in the back seat of the car.
