WOW! I am impressed, this thing is pretty neat! I know Tom was discussing a gig bag earlier on the forum..and I don't know if this is the case he was talking about..but I hope this is!

I got the Dual Electric version. I first love the build quality. Its a tough-weather proof exterior with all manner of storage pockets. The sides and top are quite rigid and the zippers are of excellent quality. The interior is shock-absorbed on different levels and fit my Cobra and Classic nicely. They go in opposite sides of the other to counterbalance. The other cool thing is that each compartment has a velcro neck holder that bolsters the neck angle and keeps the guitars from floating around. I can carry it on one shoulder or both. The front storage pocket holds both of my straps and wireless packs, other hand held items. there are other smaller pockets and hangers in and around.

I feel totally confident letting this ride to gigs in our truck. I will have a hook put in to hang it on or let it ride on a bigger case. Will follow up after our road trip this weekend.
Trying to lift an 80# Gator Dual ATA case on an off our truck in all kinds of weather and all times of the day and night was getting QUITE taxing...I think I made the right move on this one..glad I was surfing the forum when the 1/2 off sale link was posted. Can't beat this case for $150.00
Suriel, ......YOU 'DA MAN!:D

Yeah, I got my Mono double soft case last week. Used it last night at rehearsal with my CR8 Les Paul and TA HDT.

I had good intentions of doing a comparison with the Access HT soft case, including some pics, but just haven't been able to make it happen so far.

Definitely a well built bag/case. But, there at advantages to each brand. Personal choice being the main factor most likely.

Btw, I think Tom is using the HT (Hybrid Transporter) soft cases from Access: http://www.accessbagsandcases.com/gallery3.htm

Yeah, you're not going to regret getting one!

we are using the HT which is a step up from the old stage 3 double bag i have used for years.

Both are nice and I think either would protect our investments quite well! I can't wait to take mine out for the weekend gigs tomorrow!

I've got two of the Ht bags and they are awesome. They store so much gear stuff, been thrown around a Bit.....scuffed a little, and keep taking typical abuse while protecting whats inside. the zippers are heavy duty and don't get caught, snagged, or unthreaded.....like cheap ones do. I actually am not digging hard cases at all. another cool thing is you can carry 4 guitars at once with the shoulder straps and carrying handles. :)

I ordered two Mono Cases when they had their sale, back in December 20011.

I just received the first one today. :eek:

I'm still waiting on the second one.

It was a great sale. But, over 2 months????

I am a patient man. But, still..................

:eek: Man! I did the same and got my double bag in early January. Guess they won't have that sale again...Love mine so far and it is doing wonderfully!
