Published on 01/30/13 at 02:41I was looking to replace my gigbag a little too soft, too fragile seams, almost tight the girths me sawed shoulders. I found this bag in Mono, and I fell for her mouth good and promising features. And I was not disappointed!
First surprise: it stands alone, it is empty or it contains an instrument. The sole protection resembles a giant basketball and has a recessed portion in the center to avoid shocks to the strap lock bass. Same in the inner part: the reinforcement zone at the bottom of the cover is cut to accommodate the strap lock. No shock can be transmitted to the intrument. Another funny thing: the material of the reinforcement associated with rubber sole, that the cover bounces off the ground if it is loose.
The opening is made by two zippers that open the cover on two sides, a little like peeling a banana. Suddenly, the handle of the bass is immediately accessible and has only pull up to remove it from its case. A blocking of the handle 2 is integrated on the inner surfaces of the cover. When closing the cover, the handle automatically retouve sandwiched in this mechanism without any need to handle a scratch or anything else.
The pocket on the front is closed with a zipper diagonally. It is suitable for small configs: I can just put a pedal with a power supply, a mini-tuner, 2 jacks and a notebook. It does not store a pedal effect pedals or more. Shame ... To win it all, Mono offers an optional bag that attaches to the cover by 3 loops sewn into the neck area. A good marketing move, what ...
The handle is large, durable and comfortable. The straps are wide and located so as not to cut the shoulders. Scope, we feel a little stiffness of the cover in the upper back. A view on the long term ... The seams are perfect, the cover is really tight. I fear, however, the contact was in the back with a T-shirt soaked with sweat ... Well, in the month of January, the problem does not arise!
Review: I consider this purchase as an investment, both to protect my (expensive) instrument that my vertebrae (priceless). While I regret the trick commercial is to reduce the size of the main pocket to sell the optional bag (I did not buy), I was willing to pay the relatively high price of this product betting on the fact that the high quality and innovative developments remain constant over the long term.
