Gig bag for the M50 - thoughts guys?

Post by Jonnyweston »

Hey guys,

OK so I just sold my triton to get the M50, (the triton was breaking my already disc damaged back carrying it from the car to church LOL)

I now need to get a gig bag for the M50 and was wondering if y'all had suggestions or recommendations for gig bags.

For my triton I had a tribal planet one which was great - but I simply cannot find one of these again (I sold the last one with my triton).

How well padded is the KORG one that i see everywhere??
Thanks guys

Jonny

If you don't mind a soft case, I use the Roland Juno D bag which fits it perfectly. Paid around $70 for it.

I opted for a hardshell case: SKB 1SKB-R4215W. At the time I paid $229, now selling for $249.

The Gator GK4212 that KorgKid recommends is a slim case and is proportioned perfectly for the M50.

I'be had a gig bag by Kaces. It needed a little foam to make it tight, but otherwise it's been great! REALLY light.

i use a soft gig bag with some enforcement on the side and on the back.
paid something 30-40 euro and it works great for bringing m50 to rehearsal or gig. never had a problem.

of course, you have to pay a minimum of attention in carrying it
