Thomann E-Bass Gigbag Deluxe

I bought this gig bag for my ESP LTD B205SM 5 string bass guitar.

The material used to make the gig bag is
very strong and the main zipper is quite
substantial so it should last a very long
time with little chance of tearing or splitting.

Inside the bag the bass is well protected by the foam padding (stitched inside the lining) which provides approx. 1/2 inch of padding on all sides of the bass.

As noted by other reviews the bag is a little on the large side (The overall length is about 51 inches). In the case of my ESP bass (which has a 34 inch scale length) there is about 5-6 inches of space between the top of the bag and the top of the head stock.

While this doesn't cause any issues in general used it may be a concern for anyone looking for a more compact gig bag or where there are space restrictions during transportation. Certainly, a bag specifically designed for a particular bass would be a lot more compact and a tighter overall fit.

There are 4 pockets of various sizes on the outside of the case so there's plenty
of storage options for accessories. The larger A4 sized pocket would be perfect
for tab/song books etc. There is even a small pocket to hold an ID card or owner
contact information similar those found on travel bags and suitcases.

The bag has a set of carrying handles with a "leather like" grip that can be Velcro'd closed making it very comfortable to carry. There are also two strong shoulder
straps provided should you wish to carry you bass on your back.

Overall I think the gig bag is extremely high quality, well made and very good value for the price.

I would recommend this gig bag to others.

I needed a bag to protect a Burns bass that I owned which was slightly longer than the average bass guitar. Unfortunately the only case it would fit into was the special Burns case which was far too expensive for me. I had tried several gig bags, but each one was just a little on the small side. Then I saw this Thomann E Bass Gigbag Delux and the measurements given seemed that my Burns would fit it ok. I ordered it with some other stuff I needed and as the cost came to just over 199 Euros, my 24 Euro case was delivered free. When it arrived I was over the moon. The quality was excellent with plenty of pockets and one of them would even take my sheet music. After I sold my Burns, I am still using the same bag for my Fender Fretless and I feel very happy that it will be well protected with the 10 mm of padding inside the bag. For 24 Euros it is an absolute bargain. Go for it.

I bought this gig bag for my 2. hand Fender SQ Vintage Jazz bass. Since it is not a very precious instrument to me and my main instrument is guitar, I didn't want to pay a lot for a bass guitar gig bag. Hence, my decision.

When I ordered it, my expectation was low. I thought I am gonna get a plastic like cover fabric with thin, low density protection foam. It exceeded my expectations! The fabric Thomann used inside as well as the outside cover is great. It is a thick trust-giving texture. Plus the protective foam is very thick at this price range and the density of it is even better than some Gator and Warwick gig bags. Pockets are big enough for my needs which is just some notebooks, cables, cleaning cloth and a drive pedal.

On the other carrying handle position was a bit off balance for my bass, I felt like the head is heading down if I hold it a bit close to the back of the handle, but not a big issue. I am not very tall and most of my gig bags and hardshell cases are travelling very close to the floor all the time... ^_^

In short, if you have a cheap bass and don't commute often with it, this bag is a no-brainer. Thank you Thomann!

I recently got a brand new 5-string bass and I only had an old, very thin gigbag. So I decided to purchase a new gigbag for the new bass guitar.
I was always a little concerned with my old gigbag and thought it wasn't padded well enough. So I was looking for a gigbag that is well padded so that nothing could happen if it fell from a chair or whatever might happen in a practice room. I didn't want to spend a lot of money either, so I went for the Thomann gigbag that is very reasonably priced. When it arrived I was surprised about the high quality of the bag. It seems very sturdy, it is indeed very well padded and the material is even water-repellent (it had a sticker on it that said so)! I really didn't expect that.
Its size is perfect for my long-scale 5-string bass guitar and the bag has an in-built velcro strip just where you place the head of the bass so you can fixate its neck.
On the front there's a big compartment for songbooks etc and a smaller one for chords and the like. Another compartment is situated at the neck which is just big enough to put in an effects pedal. Just great!
