When I finally get my new Ibanez Jet King, I've decided to treat myself to an upgrade in my bass case as well.
There are so many out there to choose from, but I've been doing a lot of shopping around, and one case has come up on my radar as a front runner.
The Mono M80 is called a HYBRID case because it's somewhere between a hard shell and a padded gig bag.
The price range is around $200.00. That's a bit too severe for me right now, but when I bring the Jet King home, the decision may be made for me. "Please don't store me in a $25.00 canvas bag!! I'm a King, yanno!!"
So let's have a look at the Mono M80 Hybrid case.
PROS:
Gorgeous styling
Lightweight - only 5.75 lbs
ABS shell
Sharkskin waterproof fabric
Rubber feet
Strong handle or shoulder straps
Neck brace to keep instrument secure and tuning pegs away from surfaces
Impact padding
Recessed hole for tail strap-pin
More than ample storage space (including a pick pocket)
Sized to hold most standard models of bass
3 year guarantee
Also comes in a DOUBLE version, for carrying two basses at once
CONS:
Price
This case is designed for professionals whose valuable axes are going to be jostled and shaken on plane and tour bus trips, but I think that - professional or not - anybody who has invested a lot of money in their bass wants to know it's being well protected when on the move, even if it's just traveling five blocks to the drummer's house!!
