Roth & Junius BSB-02 4/4 BK Bass Soft Bag

These are fantastic bags. Sturdy, well padded, great placement and quality of handles. I don't drive, so carry my full size bass on public transport. The problem with the bag is that there is no additional protection where the zip goes under the end pin and the extra pressure here when the bass is standing upright in the case or in transit, means that the zip has bust on my second bag, again after a relatively short time. It would seem that they could introduce an extra layer of padding or flap here to protect the zip, as no matter how good a bag is, having to replace it after less than a year is expensive!

Being a professional double bassist, I use the Roth & Junius BSB-02 4/4 Soft Bag soft bag most days, to bring my bass to symphony hall, and to various gigs.

It fits my big, violin-cornered, old French bass just right, and, due to its generous padding, I feel that my instrument is quite safe in any situation. It has just the right amount of handles in the right places, as well as the backpack straps, which can be used together, rucksack style, or old-school, just slung over one shoulder. Also, the stitching is great, has lots of pockets, and it really stands up to soft bags three times this price. Can't think of any cons and would recommend it to anyone.
