Bags and Cases...

Hey all,
I'm in a search for a double case (backpack) that I can use when riding to school that will also hold mutes and music etc.
I'm thinking BAM (but they're a bit pricey), protec, marcus bonna, or wolfpak. Anyone had experience with wolfpak? they seem to be a good purchase but I want to hear some fist hand accounts before I spend hundreds of dollars on a piece of crap.
Rob

Re: Bags and Cases...

I use an Alteiri [sp], has plenty of room,very comfortable and inexpensive. down side is you can't toss your case around or treat it like a Torpedo case, it is made for responsible people. Dave

Re: Bags and Cases...

Rob,

My experience has been that the quality of Wolfpak has gone down dramatically since they moved their production overseas (about 5 years ago?). I have a couple of Marcus Bonna cases that I really like, but you're not going to have room for music in the double. I think your best bet would be the BAM--there's lots of room for mutes and it's incredibly protective. The Altieri Bags have a lot of room, but they offer NO protection. You have to have a lot of LUCK in addition to being responsible to use these bags.

-Jimi

Re: Bags and Cases...

I bought the Gig Bag a couple years back, and used it a lot. Carried it on a bike with njo problems. Lotsa room for mutes, etc... Available in loose/fitted for extra protection.
