Perfect for my needs!

This bag has been awesome so far. It holds all of my gigging gear easily, has enough pockets to not be a single mess, and allows me to carry everything comfortably. But then on a daily basis, I can still carry my laptop easily without having to switch bags. Also, the messenger bag strap attaches to the main bag, and what I've found is that even if you have the laptop bag detached and elsewhere, you can still easily sling the main bag over your shoulder with the messenger strap.

The only complaints I have are things I didn't really think about beforehand, and not necessarily issues with the bag itself. First, the pouch for the laptop will be inside the zipper attaching it to the main bag, so to get to the laptop, you have to open two zippers. The second is that although removing the back is easy enough, reattaching it isn't the easiest thing.

Neither of those are bad enough to dock any points in my book though. Still the best bag I've ever owned!

A better option I didn't even think about

I had my heart set on a Gruv Gear Club Bag but they were back ordered for 3 months. Like the gear nerd that I am, I planned out how I was going to use this bag and where everything was going to go before I even got it. After waiting and finding out the manufacturer kept pushing back the shipping date, it was suggested by a sweetwater associate who had the mono bag that it was built like a tank and worth the money. I did a little research and opted for the flyby instead. I think it was a better choice. It actually holds more that I expected and I love the layout. I use this bag for my mobile studio and it works perfectly for that.

Best Gig Bag

This bag is exactly what I was looking for in a gig bag. I use it as my stick bag as well. I can carry my midi controller, laptop, tablet, earbud case, and all the little things like drum keys, felts, adapters, power adapters, and so much more.

It's really comfortable to carry as a backpack and also has a should strap. Another user, Clifton, commented that it doesn't tip over. I set the bag on the floor by my floor tom and it does not tip over, ever!

Great bad!!!

Mono EFX Flyby- backpack

I just bought a Fractal AX8 but they do not make a carrying case for it so I went on the hunt. I found about 4 case options to consider but ended up buying this one and fortunately hit it perfectly on the first try. My pedal fits great, well padded and protected and I can fit my XLR cable, I carry an extension chord, two guitar cables, my strap and the pack has many compartments for picks, earplugs, phone, whatever. More room than I need almost. Throw it over my show and I'm gone jammin. A little pricey but well worth it. Very sturdy and strong.
Shout out also to Joe Copenhaver and team for always being there. They are awesome! Thank you all.

This bag is AMAZING!

This bag has so many positive things, its hard to explain them without getting so excited. My favorite things are: the bag does not tip over when sit down, no matter how many things are stored in it... IT WILL NOT TIP OVER! Next favorite thing is how light it is on my back and shoulders no matter how much I have in it. Very strong build. Last but not the least, the secondary bag is GENIUS! I wish it was a little easier and quicker to detach/attach but overall an AWESOME gear bag!

One of the things we love about MONO is their raw passion. Seriously - it might be hard to imagine being passionate about making gig bags and soft cases, but every time they come to Sweetwater to show off their latest creations, that message comes through loud and clear. That's what drives them to produce many of the best bags in the industry. Thin yet remarkably effective padding provides lightweight and slim protection, robust materials hold up to years of heavy use, and heavy-duty zippers won't fail on you. Even the stitching is a cut above the rest. That's the reason many gigging Sweetwater artists choose MONO, and we have access to everything! What's more, we see the same amazing design philosophy in their pedalboards and everything else they make. You can always trust MONO gear.
