Gig bags

[Mlazarus]

As you know the series 1 case is very heavy and unbalanced to carry, although it protects the bass well. I do want to get a solid/sturdy gig bag that fits the length of this bass (49in x 14 in x 21/2). Big bass needs a big case. The ROADRUNNER HIGHWAY PREMIUM case is well built, but the series 1 does not fit! The MONO case is too small as well. Perhaps, there is a custom shop that can build the case--Very expensive. I do want one because i can carry it like a backpack and walk for miles. Sure i can, in the Army(early 20s) i used to carry the Radio, batteries etc....that was at least 80lbs on my back!  LOL.

All the bags I've seen online have dimensions that fall short of the series 1 length by over an inch. My 82' series 1 is about 48.75-49 inches in length. Every bag that was suggested is only 47in. Also, the bass with is about 14.25. that a huge bass.

Body Glove used to make a hard-sided hybrid bass bag that measured, interior, 50" x 16.25".   I have one I use for my '77 Series 1 LSG 12 String.   A great bag if you can find one.

Bill, tgo

I have a gigbag made by Axcess my Alembics will fit in it lengthwise and width. I've had both Series I and my Custom fretless built on an 20th Anniversary Omega body in it. But it's such a terrible idea that I just don't do it. I can still lug a case from the house to the car to the gig. Much rather that, than the phone call of great sadness to the Head Elf.

i hear you edwardofhuncote. The hard case is always the safest. Too bad Road runner/Highway hard case isn't large enough. It's really a sturdy case with shoulder straps. I want the shoulder straps.

You might be able to squeeze it in there

My Series I fits in my RB Continental perfectly. DS-5, cable and all.

wow the series 1 will just make the fit! snug 48.5 inches. The heavy hard shell is good for planes and underneath packing though.

For my series 1 I use Gigblade 2, but I think they don't make them anymore

The RoadRunner Highway Premium Bag is sturdy. The Series 1 fits snug.

Nice looking gig bag. Is the bottom reinforced in any way like the Mono bag is with the rubber boot?
