Makes equipment very easy to find.
Hubby was carrying around a regular bag for all his musical equipment. I asked him if he would like this. He wasn’t real sure, but thought it might help. as he packed everything into it, he thought it sorted things out very well and he would find it easier to find things. Now that he’s used it for a while he really really prefers it. It is a bit heavy. But there is a lot of equipment in it.

The everything bag
Yep, it’s expensive and It’s a little bulky. But dang this thing is perfect if you are a gigging musician. Pockets for days, cable storage, straps, picks, just everything you could need on a gig there is room in this pack. I did t know I needed it until I got it and now I can’t live without it. Perfect.

Excellent gig bag for keyboardists
The media could not be loaded. I’ve found this gig bag perfect for my regular keyboarding gigs. Plenty of room for large pedals (like my Yamaha FC-7 control pedal and Roland DP-10 sustain pedal) with two pedal compartments to spare. The pedal compartments are deeper than I envisioned— about a foot in length to the zippered top, and each compartment is defaulted at about 3.5” wide, but this dimension can be changed.Loads of room on the sides for a tall water bottle and a long surge protector.Bottom compartment contains all the wires I could possibly need— in my case, five 1/4” instrument cables, two XLR cables, a MIDI cable, and four power cables/adapters.Back compartment contains my 12.9” iPad Pro as well as a 1/2” binder of sheets. One potential caveat: I would have a hard time imagining any binder/book thicker than 1” fitting comfortably in this space.Middle compartment contains various handy accessories— a mic, a clip-on LED, two clips, pens, etc. I often sneak my wallet in here as well.I’ve been using the bag for several gigs in the last month and it’s worked out so well. No more digging to the bottom of my sad old backpack for that one MIDI cable I need. Everything is neat and organized.Strong recommendation from me! I hope this helps others, particularly keyboardists, who are considering this purchase! I’ve had no regrets!

Great organization , durable, well built
I just got this gig bag. I have to say, it is pretty awesome. I love the organization with in it. I am a working musician and I play 5 shows a week, this helps set up and break down exponentially.The zippers are durable and the seems look to be that water proof type deal.The material seems super durable as well.My ONLY gripe is I wish the cable section at the bottom was a little taller.To give insight, I have 12 xlr / guitar cables in that section. On the top I have 10 power cables, three different extension cords and a power strip.Big fan over all! I look to the many years of gigging with this.

“It’s Just an Expensive Backpack” WRONG!
Sure, it’s expensive. However, this ain’t no Sunday school picnic backpack. No! This is for US! Made specifically for the gigging guitar player (or bass player). What’s the price of making fewer trips to the car? What’s the price of being organized? What’s the price of making sure you have all your gear stored in the places you can find it fast and get set up? That’s what I’m paying for. This bag has a place for everything! I was astonished on just how much I could fit in this bag. Mini amp head, stomp boxes, cables, extra strings, tools, mics, and more! Even has a safe protective place for your laptop or tablet! And if wasn’t enough, you can put your folded mic stand on the outside with clips and crack open a beer with the bottle opener. I cut two trips to the car. Is that worth $200? It is to me. Especially when you wanna get home asap after the gig. Fewer trips means you are not leaving your other gear for the load in unattended. I can bring my entire rig into the show with one trip using a cart and this backpack. That’s worth the money to me. Highly recommended! 🤘

Versatile pack, except one thing is overlooked...
Very popular transport pack, and I can see why. There are a LOT of storage areas and they have Velcro attached separators in them that an be easily adjusted. I can't see needing that many separators, but who knows. If you use a lot of floor stomp boxes, there is plenty of space for them. Maybe a little less space if you are carrying a few volume or wah pedals.I play bass, so there is not as much need for using space like this, I think it's more it's more geared for guitars players. That being said the construction is top notch, and the pack is sturdy. But...there is one problem. I read a lot of transcriptions. Usually I need 3 or 4 ring binders, but they don't really. I could cram at least binder one in the laptop area. But I need more than one the majority of time. So...for those times I have a different backpack carrying case that can fit 4 or 5 binders easily. So I end of only using the D'Adarrio for very modest amounts of accessories, or if I am reading transcripts from a laptop or a tablet. Which will fit into the pack. I guess they figure rock musicians usually don't read music, and don't need a place for that kinda stuff.I think if you need internal space set up differently that what you could do in this gear pack, you would probably be better of with something that has a different configuration of storage. Especially if you need to carry a lot of transcripts. But for how it is intended to be used and if it fits your needs it is a good choice.
