Thanks - duly moved.

Bump

Bump for a used one - or in case anyone has a PSA for a shop with any discounts at the moment.

Mono stuff looks great but daftly expensive. I'd also like to know if anyone finds an affordable source. Apologies for butting in on your thread.

Mono is expensive but I've never seen anything as good.

I've seen some bags that are in the same league but their prices are in the same league too like the very top end of Fusion's range (the F1series) but they don't have the same level of innovation, like the neck support or the rubber boot.

@djspecialist ; I've got a mono and they are great, best gig bag i've ever owned!

Strings Direct are selling the vertigo and there are usually 10% discounts flying around (just went on and was offered 10% off my first order although have shopped with them before)

djspecialist

Cheers @marcus449 - the discount makes it £143, which is the cheapest I've seen.

Still quite a lot of money for a bag, but I'll go for it soon unless anybody pops up with one to sell.

The hassle of lugging a hard case across town is my current excuse for not making it to a local jam night.  If I'd just spent the best part of £150, I'd really have to get off my arse and go

I've just bought one of these Gator gig bags, it's excellent, I've owned a Mono vertigo gigbag in the past and its definitely on par with that. It reminds me a lot of the gig bags you got with the Suhr pro series guitars, but with more storage space and a bit more padded protection on the inside. Comes in at £99.95 as well, highly recommended :-)

I received a Mono Vertigo this week from Strings Direct - thanks again @marcus449 for the heads-up.

As an aside, I made a mistake with my order and Tony at SD was very helpful in getting it resolved - a nice guy and a recommended seller.

Here is a photo of gig bag and cargo getting to know one another

@djspecialist no worries! glad it all worked.

as a side note i've found that this guitar stand (or any flat folding like this):

fits really well in the front compartment, very handy as with a lead + a small/clip on tuner and you're set for a turn up and play gig situation

p.s. lovely guitar as well!

I know they are expensive but I trust it with a 3k Suhr and my Charvel when required - it's a great bag and the boot/neck support make it a very worthwhile purchase - so much better than lugging the hardcase around!

My guitar isn't worth quite that much - but enough that I wanted some decent protection.  I feel like I will be able to trust this one.  I wouldn't if I was chucking my guitar in a Transit van, but for toting on my back or on the back seat of my car this seems perfect.

As a coda to this thread: last night I took the Vertigo out to its (and my) first jam night, in Cambridge.

The bag performed admirably.  The player, not so sure - but it was great fun and I'll definitely be going again.

Just in case anyone else is looking for one (@JCA2550 ?), this one is ending shortly on eBay:
