Mono M80 Vertigo
Built to military specs, the Mono M80 Vertigo gig bag was created not only to protect your bass guitar, but also other gear such as accessories, pedalboard, and amps you may be carrying to an evening jam session. Thanks to its top-loading design that allows quick removal from its upright case position; plus The Boot’s custom rubber sole that prevents vertical drops.
The Boot takes its cue from footwear manufacturing, using cushioned shoe outsoles and EVA insoles as its basis. Unlike traditional hard cases, its molded rubber outsole and EVA insole provide much-needed cushioning on its bottom section of a bag – unlike hard cases. Furthermore, MONO’s newly revamped Headlock neck suspension system automatically clamps over one’s neck when standing upright – to keep it secure even while keeping things organized inside your case.
The Vertigo offers many innovative features beyond The Boot. For instance, its top-loading design makes loading and pulling out your bass easier by simply dropping its neck from above. Furthermore, when standing upright it automatically tilts to one side to keep its natural resting point without additional belts or straps needed to hold your guitar in place.
At just under 75% less weight than hardcases, Mono cases provide extra storage with their water-resistant Sharkskin shell and messenger-style front pouch. Their Sharkskin material is lightweight yet tough – 100% animal free – while their piping and rubber sole/boot are moulded from Hypalon used to manufacture military rafts! Like other Mono cases, their reinforced outer shell resists impact while weighing 75% less. Furthermore, most Mono cases come equipped with triple D-ring attachments so they can easily accept an optional Classic Tick Accessory Case which holds power amps, speakers cables drumsticks etc.
