DJ Bags, could anyone recommend me one?
Posted on: 09.01.2013 by Birgit Gondal
Title says it all really, I've been getting more gigs lately and I've started feeling a little self conscious turning up with all my stuff in a milk crate!
My requirements are many, and as such I cant seem to find the bag that suits me best.
I'll be bringing minimum 15 records, with that amount likely to grow as I try to buy more vinyl and less flash-in-the-pan crap from Beatport that I'll play out 2 or 3 times.
I have a 15" Laptop, an Audio 4, cables, headphones, an uberstand-a-like (folds up to approx the thickness of about 5/6 records) an X1 and needles to bring, as well as 24 CD's.
I also have a budget of less than 70 pounds... that's the big issue here! I'd like a traditional DJ bag, none of this backpack shite (need to be able to get at my records)

I understand that I may not get all of those requirements met, and to be honest the closest I have found are these, but they don't satisfy all of the requirements and that's why I'm asking you lovely folks before I drop dolla on one!

http://www.juno.co.uk/products/stone...ies/469978-01/ (fits everything but my X1)

and my personal favorite thus far:
http://www.juno.co.uk/products/magma...red/254604-01/ (holds everything but my laptop, though pockets galore and extra space inside could be used for X1 and Laptop stand until my collection grows)

any suggestions? has to be available in the UK, not paying ridiculous shipping!

thanks

I'm pretty sure it should fit a 15" laptop.

I have a Big Namba Studio Backpack.
They have it with colors: mayan brown / charcoal grey / olive green / midevening blue / killer bee. I have the midevening blue with orange inside version.
external dimensions: 21.5″ H x 14″ W x 9.5″ D
msrp $179.95

Fitting guide: http://nambagear.com/2008/07/02/whic...udio-backpack/


They are very good, a lot of foam inside, I really abuse my bag and my only complain is that it's not 100% waterproof as I got a big storm at my last festival and the humidity got inside the bag. I can say that the bag its almost 90% waterproof.

I believe I'm just gonna drop the cash on a slingbag!

I generally figure 6 records per 1" of width...for planning purposes. But it has been a REALLY long time since

The laptop sleeve is in the middle section. This pocket is adjustable width with a velcro closure. The laptop sleeve is about 1.5" thick...depending on how much other stuff is crammed in there. The back section is about 4" thick and could also hold 12" records, but they would need some extra padding or support.

reckon it would hold 12" okay? if so how many do you reckon it could hold?

I re-purposed this for DJing. It doesn't have a traditional "DJ bag" look, but it works well for my needs.

I originally bought the bag for 2 to 3 day business trips. It held a laptop, some files, a couple days of clothes & essentials. It will fit into an overhead bin. The wheels are spaced wide and it rolls easily. The shoulder strap is OK...but I don't use it when the bag is loaded.

It holds the following:

Kontrol S2
15" laptop + power supply
Audio 2 (backup)
Crane Stand Pro
Headphones
Car visor 10 CD sleeve
Cables, cables, cables
Misc crap
