PINK Nord Electro gig bag

[Jeff_D_in_MD]

So, I ordered this gig bag for my Nord Electro:

http://www.audiomidi.com/GB61-Nord-Gig-Bag-P4921.aspx

Notice how the image shows a RED product with the word NORD on it.

The thing arrived today, does not have the word Nord, and has a distinctly PINK hue.

 

Now I have to deal with the hassle of returning this one and waiting for another one to arrive from another store. I believe I am "man enough" to not be too concerned about a pinkish gig bag, but I am not such a wimp that I want to roll over for a product that is not as stated.

 

Have other people successfully purchased the authentic NE61 gig bag on line? If so, where?

you shouldnt have to put up with false advertising.

 

the photos shows a genuine nord product[or at least branded nord and red]..thats what you should get

 

nor should you have to wear the transport costs for return.

 

there are laws for false or misleading advertising,.

 

I could almost put up with a pink hue if it was actually the identical item otherwise in the photo..

 

but it is not...sometimes colour can be iffy on photos.

 

the other thing to ask yourself is..is it well made and wioll do the job you want...and is the hassle just not worth the pain.

 

if their own courier picks it up for free...but if you have to post it back...make sure somehow you are sure you dont get hit with the return costs.

You definitely don't want to roll over whilst carrying a pink bag

[Kayvon]

Umm, Stepay would you carry this one?

This looks like the bag they sent me: http://www.zzounds.com/item--NORGB61

Not horrible, but definitely not what was advertised.

[AUSSIEKEYS]

still it doesnt look pink

[Mark Schmieder]

I seriously doubt Clavia changed their spec.

 

NovaMusik even uses the Nord bag as its "official" Prophet '08 gig bag!

 

And it's VERY red. Or at least my NL3 bag was.

 

It might be pink by now, after the transvestite stole it.

[Jeff_D_in_MD]

It looks more pink in actuality.

[AUSSIEKEYS]

well good reason to say it wasnt as advertised...full return..all money back

hope it goes well

Jeff,

 

Matching color in catalogs and on the web, especially with different monitors out there is next to impossible. My Nord 61 bag is not as red as the Electro itself, but I'd still say it's red. It does not have the word Nord on it, at least in big letters like the first link.

 

I'd call up the seller first and see what they say.

Jeff,

This is the bag I got with my Electro from Sweetwater:

 

Sweetwater NE61 Bag

 

It's furry on the inside and a very snug fit. More red than pink.

 

Regards,

Joe

I wouldn't call it pink exactly, but my NE 73 gig bag is definitely not nearly as red as the old one I had for my NE 61.

 

My guess is a poor color match by a manufacturer. Clavia probably could have sent them back because there's no way it's the same specs as the older version.

[drawback]

I just got a NE61 with a gig bag and the bag is made of different material (kind of a rip-stop instead of cordura), slightly less darkness to the red, and it has rubber scuff-pads on the bottom. And it doesn't have a logo on it.

 

Different manufacturer perhaps?

 

 

 

 

[Euntaek Kim]

My NE73 gig bag arrives in around 2 weeks... And to hear it's PINK!

 

Looking at the new pictures it does seem like the material has changed. It looks brighter and more shiny.

The Clavia accessories are manufactured in China, probably at a factory that makes other products for different manufacturers, so problems like this are not surprising. That being said, Audiomidi orders them in, warehouses them and ships them out without opening the packages up. So give them a break, but demand a call tag so they pay shipping back.

Maybe they outsourced it to the Hello Kitty people?
