Fusion Bags

"A great gig bag"
I was looking for a bass gig bag with +20mm padding, a toughened bottom end and pockets big enough for 2 Boss pedals. The Urban came up on Google. It ticked all of the above, and had chest and waist straps; I ordered one - the wrong one. A call to the office was all that was needed to get the order changed from a black to a blue bag.
The bag came boxed the next day. Its padding is hefty enough to make for a stiff bag. The straps have clips to keep the ends tidy. A length of adjustable padding lets me make a nest for the stomps, wireless kit, a short lead and a few other small bits, inside the bag with my Ibanez SR300EB bass. The bass goes inside the padding; the other stuff, between padding and case. There are pockets inside the pockets. One of them had a Fusion key ring and lanyard inside.
I wanted pockets and got them. I can fit my Blackstar Fly 3 Bass stereo pack in the biggest pocket. My Hercules EZ-Pack guitar stand fits into the head pocket with room to spare.
The chest and waist straps help spread the load. I have, in the first day of getting it, gone on 4 buses and a train, cycled 7 miles, and walked more than 2, all with the bag loaded for my afternoon at the music studio. I stood the Urban in a corner, and it stayed stood. Try that with most bags. It's heavier than my other bass bag, but weight means quality, and you're not going to get this much shielding without weight. The width covers much of my back, blocking out my hi-vis coat. I would welcome more hi-vis on the main and Fuse-on bags or at least some hi-vis rain covers. I can at least put a hi-vis rucksack cover on a Fuse-on, as and when I get one.
A staffman my music shop said I'd chosen well, he saw it, and they don't deal with Fusion. The bags are dear but well-made and will look after you.
