Best gigbag?

Are there any online dealers that sell these bags internationally?

I think the Summit bags actually have a "spine" in them to make them more rigid.

Levy's are excellent. I also acquired a superb gig bag from Thoman in Germany. Very cheap and very good quality with lots of heavy duty zipped pockets. 30mm padding is the best option for maximum protection. I reckon that equates to about 1¼". The thicker the better. Having said that my Rics generally travel in the hardcases. A good quality gigbag will cost every bit as much as a hard case in my experience.

I´ll check with Thomann as Im in Sweden. Do you remember the name of that case?

Joakim, Here is the information for the Thomann 30mm bass gig bag. www.thomann.de order code 142778.
Great gig bag and not expensive. Has a double shoulder strap (like a ruck sack/backpack) as well so leaving both arms free to carry other equipment.

Its worth it, I have a Levy's and a Thomann and there is little difference in the quality. The difference was in the price. I could buy 3 Thomanns for the price of the Levy's. Dont forget the standard postage charge at Thomann, whether a huge PA or 1 set of strings its the same. Its worth buying a few things at the same time.
