We've seen it (and done it) hundreds of times: grabbing the guitar out of the side of a partially unzipped case while standing up. You do this to save space, to save time, or to save your back. This observation became the driving concept behind the Vertigo, the world's first top-loading guitar case. The top-loading feature might have been enough, but Mono went ahead and redesigned the Headlock for automatic neck support. Then, Mono created The Boot, a rubber sole designed for unsurpassed protection against vertical drops. The game has changed.

Headlock Suspension System Keeps the Neck Protected

The Vertigo features a fully redesigned Headlock neck suspension system. No strapping, buckling, or belting required. No extra steps. Just throw your bass in and the neck finds a natural resting point in the base of the Headlock. Then zip the case up and the top section of the Headlock automatically clamps down over your bass, holding it firmly in place. Your headstock is now fully protected against backward drops and side-to-side impact. Lightning fast! Another first of its kind, The Boot takes guitar protection to a greater level. Using manufacturing technologies from the footwear industry, the Vertigo bounces off of concrete like a pair of cross trainers.

With its custom molded rubber outsole and EVA insole, The Boot also protects strap pins of all shapes and sizes from those nasty vertical drops. Travel in confidence and style.

Unzip the Case, Pull Your Bass Out from the Top

… read more A slick feature that you will come to love: the Vertigo does not open like a traditional guitar case. Its design allows you to quickly unzip the case and pull your bass out from the top. This is enabled by a hidden diagonal hinge on the front panel of the case. Once unzipped, the case naturally opens out and to the right. No need to lay your guitar case down on the floor. Stop bending over. Nobody wants to see that. Take a stand! The Vertigo is appointed with smart storage and rugged hardware for a life of travel. A deep front pocket keeps your essentials at-hand. The optional Guitar Tick provides room for much more. Steel riveted handles and dual zippers come standard, as does the Sharkskin water resistant outer shell.

Fits all standard electric bass guitars including Fender, Ibanez, Fodera, Warwick, Tobias, Yamaha. Also fits some not-so-standard bass guitars.

This product is covered under by Mono's 3 year limited liability warranty. As well as their hassle-free return policy.
