I'm sure this topic has been talked about before, but what's a good gig bag for a Ric bass?

Reunion Blues. I have their double bass gigbag that is great. Mine's the cordura model but it is available in leather also.

A hard case is the best gig bag, I won't use them.

use a hard shell case ... but if you must use a gig bag the best gig bag that I have found is this one ...

One after 909!

I would always use a hardcase myself too.
Rics are prone to neck breaks in a strong wind!!!
Second only to a Danelectro for fragility!!

I have a very nice Levys bag. It's very well cushioned and it's made so that when the zipper is opened, it pulls back, away from the opening so it doesn't scratch your bass when you're putting it in or removing it.

ProTec has a combo case that's hardshell but still lightweight, and Ritter makes an inexpensive bag that is actually quite nice.
