After running though record bags every year or so grabbing one was a game change. Been toting one of these for 4 years now and still holding up strong. A little pricey but you're paying for quality, a bag hand made here in the US. Don't mean to de-rail the thread but these bags are something I stand behind and I don't endorse no shit!




Damn, that North To South bag looks like exactly what I need.





Trigger finger getting itchy...




Use coupon code: SoulStrut for 25% off. Good for 5 orders.

I should give props to a friend mine and his bag company too:

Made in USA. Checkout the green canvas line.


The 'WJS Messenger' bag is pretty great, and there is a well padded pouch for laptops.

On the other hand, I just got the Pioneer DDJ-SX controller for 1K which is pretty much 2 CDJs and a 4-channel mixer in one, which would cost 3K.

Much like Mr H. Leech I was super tempted to get one of your bags and the kind offer above proved irresistible. Thanks!

So we're calling hookers "DJ accessories" now? I just can't keep up with you kids these days and your crazy slang.

The bag looks useful, but...$400 dollars?










how sad, looks like you'd fit 5 actual records in there. High end bag for the laptop DJ

"Storage for 6-8 records"





Useful.

It seems like the cost of all things Dj related seems to be sky rocketing. Is it justified? Are people buying this shit? I'd rather put $400 forward for equipment/records/etc...is it because they know DJ's don't "have" to spend money on records anymore? I'd love to hear from anyone wtih some insight on this shit...
