NOTE: Many more detailed photos are at the bottom of the page!

We've carried the "Professional Bass Bag" for several years now with lots of success; it's a heavier-duty bag (than our popular Gollihur Bass Bag) with backpack straps, rolling wheels, and thicker protective padding. Now we have the next generation of this top-seller, with some new features and really useful upgrades - and featuring a slick new look!

The bag now has contrasting color panels; the steel-gray colored bag has an inset in burgundy (see photo at left) and the black bag has the same inset in gray (see photo at right). Both bags have a classy, stylish (and dare I say it, "money") look that stands out from the "plain black bag" crowd but isn't over the top at all.

Over ONE INCH of Padding!

Protection.
Like before, the new bag has dense, lined padding that is approximately 1¼" thick, which provides quite a bit more cushion and protection than other, lighter-weight bags. Internally, the padding extends over the zippers to protect your instrument's finish from being scratched by the heavy-duty YKK zippers.

How solid is the padding? In both of the full bag photos you see at the top of this page, the bag is standing up against the wall with no bass inside it. This is no floppy bag!

Heavy-Duty Handles

Strength.
The NINE carrying and "wrangling" handles have some serious stitching, and use reinforced tabs for rugged reliability -- and the stitching goes all the way through the case, padding and all. See closeups in the photo array, below. Many of the handles have a soft vinyl wrap for comfort, and the handles are in sensible, useful locations for carrying the bag - as well as maneuvering it through a doorway or into your car.

Let's Roll!
Another useful feature: wheels!

The case has a pair of durable 1.5 inch luggage-style wheels at the bottom of the back. They're mounted to a sturdy but lightweight internal plate to provide structure. NEW: The internal plate is smaller than the one on the Series I bag, making the bag a good bit easier to manage when not on the bass. Also note the cinch-straps at the bottom of the case; these allow you to tighten the bag to provide a more secure fit for your instrument. There is also a cinch-strap around the base of the neck to keep the neck from swimming around inside the case.

This deluxe case also has several skid-patches at points where the bag might contact the ground; these provide additional impact protection to your bass, as well as protect the fabric of the case from premature wear. NEW: The entire bottom section of the case is wrapped in a tear-resistant vinyl, with additional doubled-up areas where contact with the ground is most likely, to prevent wearing holes in the case fabric.

A Place for Your Stuff.
Pockets? This case has plenty! On the front, an extra-large pleated bow pocket (with a plastic reinforcement panel) has room for many hard and soft bow cases (unfortunately ours is a little too big) and there's also an expandable accessory pocket for rosin, tuner, pickup and preamp, or other small "bassic" items. On the back, the large pair of flat pockets are great for music, lesson material, and more. And the back pockets have protective flaps over the zippers to protect your back when carrying the bass...

Backpack Straps.
Oh, did I forget to mention? This bag has BACKPACK STRAPS, a feature that I have often been asked about! They're adjustable and well-padded. NEW: The backpack straps are now fully removable if you don't care to use them. And like the handles, they're reinforced and heavily stitched, using large gauge steel rings that have been welded closed (so they won't separate). There is also a removable strap included, for those who prefer to use the "one shoulder" method of carrying their bass. Heavy D-rings on each shoulder provide confident use of this shoulder strap.

Keep in mind that with all this extra protection does come extra weight. A representative bag, perched on a shipping scale as best I could manage, came up at around 14 pounds. If this seems a bit much, perhaps a lighter-weight bag (like our Gollihur Bag) might be a better solution for you.

Will it fit your bass??? Since all basses differ, the only way to know is to measure. Please view the image below for case dimensions, and compare the numbers to the dimensions of your instrument. (For reference, the 3/4 sized bag easily fits on Bob's 3/4 sized Kay Bass, and Kay and Engelhardt basses are pretty consistent in size.)
