Blox Box: Perfect TTM57 bag reviewed by DJK

DJK 9:13 PM - 15 June, 2006
I have looked far and wide, and finally got my hands on the ultimate TTM57 bag. As much as the burton bag was amazing for my SL1 days, this bag is straight fire for 57 users. Heavy duty construnction, and great attention to detail. This baby makes carying all your gear a snap, and leaves your body the happier for it since it is an ultra comfy back pack. Here we go...

Nicely sized padded pockets are on each side of the bag. They have heavy duty zippers along with a velcro flap. Here is the side where I keep my shure needle case and my small screwdrivers:

Here is the other side where I keep my digitech fs3x and cable:

The very top front pocket is divided into smaller organizers. I keep my back up ipod, phone, extra usb cable, pens, keys, etc. in here. The black zipper is too a nice deep pocket that is great for money and passports and the like:

Directly below it is a massive pocket with a heavy duty zipper and velcro flap, that has a flat zippered pocket on the front, also good for small stuff. I like this pocket because you can lay your headphones in the unfolded so the ear padding dosn't pack out. This pocket was so massive I threw my groove glide and some wires in there with room to spair:

Moving directly backwards you have a nicely paded compartment for your laptop. My 15" widescreen HP fits in there with about 3" to spair on the top, and about 2" on the sides. I also have a neoprene sleeve I keep my laptop in for extra padding, and it goes in whatever bag I am using the laptop with:

Last but not least we have the main compartment. Notice the thick bottom padding I am holding. This is nice since it protects your gear from the ground when the bag is resting. There is also a removable divider for those times when you don't have your mixer, but want to take more records.

I easily fit all 6 of my control records, my slipmats and ttm57 in there with room to spare. Most importantly is that I felt like my $1300 mixer was safe. You could easily throw a grip of battle wax in there as well, and the mixer compartment can fit a CDJ or most other mixers with ease.

As a bonus, it also comes with a ipod/cell phone holder, as well as I very high quality CD wallet. There is also a led light in the main compartment for finding records in the dark if your playing vinyl.

I ordered the black one, but was sent this hideous thing that reminds me of my marine days... I have already arranged to ship it back for the black on. Here is the other colors availible:

All in all, I have to say that this bag is spot on perfect for a ttm57 user, and great just as a record bag too. I am defineately gonna be fillin this with chill house wax to play at my lounge residency, and packin my 57 and battle wax in it when I am goin to war with my crew. As soon as they ship me the color I origonally wanted, I am gonna be one happy camper.

the bags are off the hook, but I wouldnt suggest putting your beloved mixer in one of these, the faders and knobs can get F*cked up easily. I suggest buying a flight case just for your mixer, and then get one of these bags.

Send me a pm if you don't want to promote it here.

Thanks, im not internet illerate, that was done already. Im looking for detailed pics with equipment, like what dj k probably provided before.
Idlemind1999 5:12 AM - 8 January, 2008
sorry... but you asked for picture links...

I had one of these in the office for a few weeks while someone was reviewing it... Its nice and for the price can really hold everything... I ended up getting the UDG Creator.. its perfect.
HeaVyyNeSsS 7:08 AM - 8 January, 2008
Sorry, Thanks alot idlemind. Im just wondering if this is a good creator substitute or to just go with the creator all together. If it can protect my mixer well enough, i think im down, cuz 300 for a bag is ridiculous to me. If its durable and well padded i think its worth it.

its well padded but with all bags you need to watch out for the fader/controls when you put it in and out.

I can get a ttm57 + Slipmats,SSL Records + 10 or so normal records in the main section. laptop in the padded laptop section, cables and laptop power pack in the front section. needles in the side section and has a few more sections for bits and bobs...

It is heavy with all that stuff in it but the padded straps and back support does help to make it usable.

I know you are in the US but a store in the UK have them half price at the moment so may work out cheaper to get it from the UK. I've used this store before with no issues...
