Top marks, fits my microKORG perfectley with plent of room for cables, chargers and the mic.

Also great as a general bag for carrying other stuff.

Great delivery too, much earlier than expected. Well done guys =]

This bag, although to the naked eye just a simple bag used for transporting equipment, is a bag that would be easily taken for granted how well it is actually made. The material itself made me think "I'll be keeping this bag for a very long time". Yes it is durable but also it actually holds your keyboard (mine being a Microkorg) in it perfectly, I know shocking, something that actually does something its meant to, it not only allowed me to carry my keyboard with ease it allowed me to not have to worry about carrying anything else because my actual equipment (apart from the amplification of course) fit in it as well so it did not feel as though I was carrying something from A to B but it felt more like i was simply taking a walk.

I conclude with my summary opinion that if you are looking for a bag do not consider this one...just get it. Trust me.

I wanted a gig bag for my Line6 POD XT Live board & considered the manufacturer's custom made bag to be over priced. I saw Myk Hough's review on this site which convinced me that this product would do the job. It was duly ordered on Thursday, shipped on Friday & arrived on Monday you can't get much better than that. If you have a Line6 PodXT live get this gig bag, it's well padded, well constructed and looks the business! Dolphin's customer service & communications are excellent (not the first item I've ordered from them). I'm happy to recommend this bag & the supplier!!

I've never submitted a review before but on this occasion I felt the need to.
I was looking for a bag or case to carry my shiny new Line 6 POD XTLive. All the ones I have are either too small or do not offer enough protection. When I did a search for custom cases, I was put off by most of the prices and/or that most seemed to be only available in the States. So I was keen to check out a link I found in a user forum suggesting that this Gator bag could have been made for the XTLive.
I ordered it online from Dolphin on Friday and it arrived early this morning - top marks for this service.
Straight out of the box, it looked right. Loved the bold Gator logo on the big front pouch. The zips looked chunky and had red, white and black cords attached to the tabs to make them easy to handle (and find!).
The lid opened right up giving full access. Inside, the lid and base were padded, with firm padding around all the sides. No sign of weakness in the seams and stitching. Outside, two big, rigid plastic feet look as if they are stitched and glued to the bottom edge for standing the bag upright. So far, so good.
Will it fit? At the first attempt at putting the XTLive into the bag, I thought I had made a mistake. It would't quite go into the corners. Then I realised that the bag had been slightly flattened in the box. I removed the XTLive and gently pushed out the corners and bottom of the bag and tried again. Hey Presto! Perfect fit!
No movement, no slipping about. Zipped up the lid and gave it a shake. Still no movement.
The final test was whether the front pouch would hold the power supply and all the leads from the guitar and to the amplifiers. It behaved like a real 'gator and swallowed them up with room to spare. I could probably get a folding music stand in there as well.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not raving about it. It's a bag. But it is doing precisely what I want, to carry and protect a valuable piece of equipment at a very good price.
Why not rate it 10 then? Two minor points. The shoulder strap is attached to good sized, solidly fixed D-rings but the adjustable plastic "pad" would probably cut in after a while, especially if just wearing a Tshirt. Secondly, I would have liked an extra inch of length on the carry handles. I have biggish hands and it might be a tight fit in the winter when wearing gloves. As I said, minor points but things which could be easily fixed.
I will be recommending it to others.
