Gig Bag needed in London, 20-27 June

Post by John Banther »

Hello,

I am playing in London from 20-27 June and am wondering if there is anybody around that could lend me a gig bag to use for my Firebird 6valve.

I am coming in by train from the Netherlands, and will have my flight case since I fly to the USA before coming back to the Netherlands, and would rather ship my gig bag to the USA from the Netherlands so I can use it to travel right when I arrive (instead of using it in London, then shipping it, and not having it right away in USA where I travel by car). A bit of gig bag juggling, to avoid checking another piece.

I am staying in E5, and can meet in that general direction.

Any help?

Thanks! cheers,
John

That Tom and Will would last about three days, and as for selling it on, there's a reason why its priced so cheaply...nobody wants them

Being a sheltered sort who has rarely played anything but the standard 3+1 British setup I don't know what size bag you might need for the "Firebird" thing. :wink:

So... If you're interested - I have a couple of Ritter gig bags that I'm not using (one of each size) which might be suitable.

Just let me know.

Edited to add: I know these aren't the best in the world but they should do you for a week schlepping it around London!

I've got a Reunion Blues bag that I use for my Starlight, that I guess would fit a Firebird. I'm in E17 ...
