Bass Guitar Cases & Bags

Bass guitars, being larger and often heavier than electric guitars, require specialized cases and gig bags. The history of bass cases parallels electric guitar cases, evolving from wooden designs to modern composite materials. Significant models include Gator (GCBASS Deluxe), SKB (Bass Safe), Mono (M80 Bass), and Fender (ABS Molded Case). Hard cases offer superior protection for touring and studio storage, especially for expensive or custom basses. Gig bags with thick padding provide a practical solution for frequent transport while maintaining adequate safety. Choosing between a case or bag depends on travel frequency and required durability.
