In regards to bags, I have a relationship with Reunion Blues. They make beautiful leather bags and now have a line of excellent synthetics too. I can make inquiries if anyone is interested.

I'll check out the new bags, thanks for the heads up Donald.

That was very nice, fella's. I think modder Dave will be pleased. I am personally humbled by your remarks, so I am posting this well done. I haven't met you Elwood, but I have met Jazzy.
 
 Top notch.

I have a Reunion Blues bag I use for my SII. I keep looking for a bag which will fit my Dragon Wing, since the hard case is too wide to fit in some cars. Donald, do you know if R.B. does custom sizes?

I did buy a two bass leather reunion blues gig bag for my S II and it was too short. I did email to ask about a custom size but got no reply.

I still recommend the Reunion Blues Continental bag. It fits my custom 10 string beautifully.
Weights & Measures:  
External: 49.5 Length x 15 Upper Bout x 16.5 Lower Bout x 7.25 Depth  
 
Internal: 48.5 Length x 13 Upper Bout x 15 Lower Bout x 3 Depth
 
Weight: 9 lbs.

Jazzy, the Continental bag Danno shows above is the one I use on the Twin, so it should fit yours as well. It really is a well-built gig bag, but with a LOT of protection.

Jazzyvee, I know the feeling......  

  After that, I contracted with a guy who used to work at Reunion Blues (ironically, the guy I bought the red bag from) who was starting a new company.  I put him in contact with Alembic and I think he was supplying leather bags to Alembic for a while.  I recall seeing them in the store.    Ran into a bassist while on vacation at Hilton Head last year.  He had his 6-string Balance K Signature in one of those bags.  I knew it was an Alembic from a mile away.  

 

I guess this says a ton about where I've played, but after having a hard shell case protect my face when someone through a punch at me while our band was attempting to extricate itself from a gig in the midst of a closing time fight at the bar at which we were playing, I'd never go out in to the community (at least at the places where I've played) with a leather or any other soft case. The hard shell version has offered protection for both my bass, and just as importantly, me.

When I had my Steinberger XL Bass, it also served as protection against drunken rages.

I had to use once my Kramer Duke (Headless bass, Steinberger XL lookalike, normal small tuners on the body's low end instead of double ball system) as a spear to poke and get rid of a drunken fellow trying to get to sing right on the lead singer's headset microphone (almost kissing her), all the way while I was also playing and singing backing vocals, at the same time blocking access to my microphone with my right ankle to prevent another drunk guy from singing through it, and with my right leg over the monitor (Iron Maiden's Steve Harris-like) to block another guy from passing under my microphone's boom stand to also reach the singer. It ended in some sort of dance that I'd only wish somebody had recorded...

Ah, the good 'ol days! !

Well, for what ever its worth someone feels this Bass is worth $1000 as of this writing. Wonder what she'll go for?
