Help! Bongo 5 Gig Bag

[bassing64]

I'm looking for a dual gig bag that will fit my Bongo 5 and my spare bass. Love the Mono but looking for a little lower price range. Any suggestions? I currently use a single RoadRunner bag but the newer models don't seem to be long enough. Thanks.

I dont use gig bags but i do have a dean and my bongo fits . How about 2 deans stitched together ? Just an idea !

I've got a Protec gigbag: Link here...

It holds my Bongo 5 very snugly.

Great bag Jimmy, but it doesn't seem to hold more than one bass. Plus it's REALLY expensive. JMHO

Ah right, I misread that it needed to be a dual one. Yeah, that won't be any use to you at all.

If you are going double, and you are holding two Musicman basses, I'd not get anything less than the Mono, because the Mono bags REALLY are that good. I have an M80 and it is superb. I've used it for over two years and it still looks new.

DAMN! That would be one heavy backpack!

Thanks guys. I appreciate all the help. I found myself "bass-less" on the road this weekend when my battery compartment failed right before the gig. Band had to play an hour without bass until a friend brought a replacement.

Thanks Movielife, Mono is definitely my fav at the moment.

I don't know if the double gig bag is the same, but I have a slightly older Levy's gig bag that will fit a Bongo quite well. You could try and see if the CM88 would work.

The problem with double gig bags is that there's a lot of weight with two basses and they tend to wear out more quickly b/c of it.

+1 I recently purchased an Ibanez double gigbag for electric basses. It has trolley's wheels, so that you can pull it, but also rucksack straps. + a lot of space for miniamp, realbook, ipod, whatever.
Cost: €90 here in the good ole US of Europe.

I've never used the double version, but I swear by my igig bag.
