Summary
A very substantial gigbag style case that gives superb, better than original hard case, protection. The optimum balance between portability and protection. A bit pricey, but well worth it if you value your bass. I prefer these to flight cases.
Pros:-
Rigid water resistant shell with deep internal padding.
Plush lining with panels to prevent bridge and machine heads from damaging lining.
Neck support and velcro grip to hold bass securely
Comfortable handle.
Cons:-
Not as many pockets as some others, but that is no issue for me.
After long deliberation, reading reviews and watching YouTube clips of the best bass cases and gigbags, I decided to buy the CV. I was not disappointed. It offers superb protection and is very well made. I bought it for another bass, but was very pleasantly surprised that my 20th Anniversary Alembic bass fits snuggly. This is a large bass with long neck & wide body etc. I have, until now, been unable to find any bag it will fit into let alone, I feel confident with. The original hard case is gigantic (too big for car back seat) and I have been making do with a Thunderbird Rokbag which was OK but not secure enough for travelling to gigs etc. I now feel far more confident in gigging my Alembic. Highly recommend this gigbag. Thomann service and dispatch were top class as usual.
