OK I need a Good Gig Bag What do you Recommend?

[Jet Troop]

OK I need a good gig bag. I have heard of incase and Suhr. Incase does not make them any more. I called. I can buy a JM Incase GB off of ebay but it is pricey. What are other brands do you recommend? Thanks

Gig bags? Hmmmm, this is an important investment. I suggest you chose wisely, or you could end up like this guy.

That is why I posted this thread. There is a wealth of knowledge here on Rig Talk!

I've got a couple of Body Glove gig bags, and I love them

I have a bunch of Levy bags. Theyre great. When chosing gig bags. Go for the 3/4 inch padding

I swear Body Glove used to make gig bags. Apparently they sold that part of the business to Ultimate Support.

Anyway, this is what I have:

If it is good enough to put in something, put it in a cheap hardshell over a gig bag. When that shit gets all banged up.... that gig bag won't look like such a good deal.

Just sayin.

The Fender bag I got with my Players Deluxe chilicaster is very nice.

Suhr gigbags are cool too.

You talkin a geetar case, or just a padded gig bag to carry cables, accessories and what not? I found an old foam lined flight case in the dumpster where I used to work and went dumpster diving!

It was a case for Allen Bradley/Rockwell Automation gear, so it says "PhotoEyeDemo" on it. Sort of cool. I might use it as a song title someday.

When it comes to gig bags, there is only one if you give a shit about protection.

And if you want to see why, here is a real video of the gig bag in action...

I wanna see a baggage handler toss it from the jetway down onto the tarmac in the classic "gate check" manuever....
Dirt landing is softer, also maybe a nice end-o toss would be good too.

Thanks all. Keep them coming. I am looking at them all. I am in the military and I travel all the time so I need a good gig bag to fly with. I do not check my guitar. When I fly on our planes, I keep them with me on the flight deck. When I fly civilian, I put them in the Flight Crew's closet.

The gig bags that Warwick makes are top notch - Rockbag I think they are called. I had one with my Warwick bass and it was awesome quality
