  1. I don't use the backpack strap... yes, the upper connection is velcro, but it's a pretty good size, and it wraps around, so I seems it would be pretty difficult for it to come loose. Two pics just to try to give you an idea.
  2. and as I did a search for that old thread, it was you who had started it... I had posted even more photos then, which I still have if helpful... BTW- I think that price has gone up (as some ppl had been mentioning in another recent thread). Hard to find good-fitting bags for 73-76 key boards... I got a CP73 a few mos ago and ended up buying and 88-key bag for it, since it's deeper than the MODX7 and won't really fit in the Gator bag... and lots of bags for 73-76 key models are currently out of stock, making it even more complicated... good luck!
  3. I use a Pro Gig bag from Gator for my MODX-7: G-PG-76SLIM It's a little bit snug, but fits OK and very well padded and reinforced. I am going to try and post some photos to give you an idea. It also had room for SUS pedal on the side. I had posted in the MODX huge thread from 3 yrs ago, but I think the photos went away when the forum changed. Let's see if the photos will attach here...
  4. I have always loved Art Lande's music, beginning in the late '70s... I have a bunch of his early albums, including Red Lanta. I especially like "The Piano Eccentricities of Earl Dant" ("Earl Dant" is another anagram on Art Lande). I also really like the Rubisa Patrol stuff, esp. "Desert Marauders" album. However, all that vinyl went to Brasil when I moved there in 1998 and never came back... oh well, lots of it still in my head!
  5. Not sure if this counts, but: Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana.

  7. I bought the Gator G-PG-76SLIM and have been happy with it. You can see my "review" and photos back on page 32 of this thread.
  8. I was thinking the same thing about the sustain pedal Yes, it does fit, and I stuck a rag in between the pedal and keybd for protection: http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h378/kobrinkworth/Gator%20Gig%20Bag%20MODX7/gator_4139_zpsm4tl9ms3.jpg http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h378/kobrinkworth/Gator%20Gig%20Bag%20MODX7/gator_4140_zpsab9h351l.jpg Later on, I put on the backstrap and I thought it was actually quite good. The fittings on the bottom of the strap and on the bag are metal, and the top connects by velcro, which may not seem that great, but its a very strong connection: http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h378/kobrinkworth/Gator%20Gig%20Bag%20MODX7/gator_4141_zpsyyyiy6c1.jpg http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h378/kobrinkworth/Gator%20Gig%20Bag%20MODX7/gator_4142_zpssgkrgbuu.jpg http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h378/kobrinkworth/Gator%20Gig%20Bag%20MODX7/gator_4143_zpsbwynfuhb.jpg http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h378/kobrinkworth/Gator%20Gig%20Bag%20MODX7/gator_4144_zpsven1pckm.jpg Theres also a shoulder strap, metal connections: http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h378/kobrinkworth/Gator%20Gig%20Bag%20MODX7/gator_4145_zpshwgsufqq.jpg And a protective plastic cover for the entire bag: http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h378/kobrinkworth/Gator%20Gig%20Bag%20MODX7/gator_4146_zpsckjimv97.jpg As I said before, Ill be keeping this one, I can live with a slightly snug fit. Dave - thanks for the suggestion of this bag, I hope the photos are helpful. -kirk
  9. ...photo seems ok, here are the others. Once I zipped it completely, it doesn't stand up straight, due to the tight fit, maybe you can see from the photos. http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h378/kobrinkworth/Gator%20Gig%20Bag%20MODX7/gator_4129_zpsskoxriws.jpg http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h378/kobrinkworth/Gator%20Gig%20Bag%20MODX7/gator_4130_zpsmqpidiuh.jpg http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h378/kobrinkworth/Gator%20Gig%20Bag%20MODX7/gator_4131_zpsonezsxv8.jpg http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h378/kobrinkworth/Gator%20Gig%20Bag%20MODX7/gator_4132_zpschumdyer.jpg http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h378/kobrinkworth/Gator%20Gig%20Bag%20MODX7/gator_4133_zpsor27jzlv.jpg http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h378/kobrinkworth/Gator%20Gig%20Bag%20MODX7/gator_4134_zpsiotvnrca.jpg http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h378/kobrinkworth/Gator%20Gig%20Bag%20MODX7/gator_4135_zpsvw2bzfmf.jpg http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h378/kobrinkworth/Gator%20Gig%20Bag%20MODX7/gator_4136_zpsktxlberf.jpg http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h378/kobrinkworth/Gator%20Gig%20Bag%20MODX7/gator_4137_zpsadppoxfe.jpg http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h378/kobrinkworth/Gator%20Gig%20Bag%20MODX7/gator_4138_zpsvgrjbngj.jpg --EOM--
  10. Looking forward to your report ... and pics if possible So the Gator gig bag arrived, model # G-PG-76SLIM, and my MODX7 does fit it is quite snug in the depth dimension. Below are the dimensions listed for the bag (Gator site) and the MODX7 (Yamaha site): gig bag: 49 x 13 x 5-1/2 MODX7: 45-1/16 x 13-1/16 x 5-1/4 Theres a little slack on the ends of the bag as you can see from the numbers, but depth and width have no slack at all. The padding is all very nice, and I have had two other gig bags from Gator with no problems, very sturdy for my use, which means my car and personally handled by me. I am keeping this bag, even though its snug, I am OK with the fit. I havent attached the backpack straps so no opinion on that, but I use a regular backpack for DI box, volume pedal etc so probably wont carry the keyboard that way. Usually one trip with X-stand, boom-mic-stand, keyboard and backpack. Which brings me to the only possible issue with the other Gator soft bags, theres a small storage pocket on top where I usually put cords AND the sustain pedal. In this bag, the external pocket is very large in 2 dimensions, but has no height to it, and given how tight is the fit, Ill have to find somewhere else for the sustain pedal Thats the only downside at this point. I have posted one photo here as an experiment, as I have never posted a photo here. The only other photos Ive posted otherwise were surf fishing in the Pacific from years ago. I guessed at 800 x 600 in Photo Bucket, hope it looks OK. If so, I will post other photos. -kirk http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h378/kobrinkworth/Gator%20Gig%20Bag%20MODX7/gator_4128_zps70tjwhge.jpg
  11. I ordered the Gator G-PG-76SLIM from Amazon, supposed to arrive tomorrow, I will post when I have time for info and maybe some pics.
  12. Thanx Dave! Looks like a nice bag, and based on dimensions, I can see why it might be a little snug, but still I imagine it fits. Good feedback from the other person that you heard from. I have always liked products from Gator, well-made and offer good protection.
  13. On the low end, there's the Yamaha Piaggero NP32, 76 keys, under 13lbs, very inexpensive...
  14. Anyone found any alternatives to the Yamaha Gig Bag? The MODX7 is an odd size, too big for standard 61-key bag and too small for 76-key bags. I am looking for a soft gig bag, something like the GKB bags for Gator.
