Powerful Hybrid Protection From Gator

Gigging guitarists at Sweetwater know that the Gator GL-BASS lightweight electric bass guitar case is just the right blend of protection and convenience. From your car's back seat to your spot on stage, protecting your guitar is always the priority. The GL-BASS's semi-rigid frame is covered with a 600-Denier nylon outer shell that resists moisture and tearing, keeping your guitar clean and safe. Convenient exterior pockets are ready for your gig essentials and the plush interior lining leaves your guitar's finish scratch-free - you'll always be ready to play with Gator's GL-BASS lightweight electric bass guitar case.

Gator GL-BASS Lightweight Electric Bass Guitar Case at a Glance:
  • Protection and convenience for your busy gig schedule
  • Quality Gear from Gator
Protection and convenience for your busy gig schedule

The 600-Denier nylon outer shell is just the start of the protective powers of the GL-BASS. Soft and strong - EPS foam padding forms a barrier between your guitar and the thumps and bumps that happen when you're on-the-go. The foam also provides support and protection for the most vulnerable part of your instrument - the neck - ensuring your guitar stays ready to play. Two accessory pockets grace the front of the GL-BASS giving you plenty of space for your cables, pedals, and strap. The pockets and the case are secured with heavy-duty zippers for easy loading and unloading of your precious passenger. For transport, choose between a sturdy parachute-nylon web handle or the removable shoulder strap. Gator Cases are made to withstand anything, making the lightweight and durable GL-BASS a must-have piece of gear for your gigging life.

Quality Gear from Gator

Gator offers a host of rugged cases and bags, so you can make sure every element of your rig is secure. If you need protection for a mixer or rackmountable equipment, Gator offers multiple hard-shell cases, durable bags, and covers. Likewise, there's no better way to protect your acoustic or electric guitar, bass, or keyboard than by using one of Gator's gig bags or hard cases. Gator even offers an extensive line of pedalboard accessories, laptop cases, PA bags, microphone cases, and more. When it comes to your gear, trust Gator for the ultimate in protection.

Gator GL-BASS Lightweight Electric Bass Guitar Case Features:
  • Perfect cross between hard case and gig bag offers convenience and protection for your instruments

Surprisingly Good

I bought this and a 4G gig bag together wanting to compare and figure out if one or the other better suited me. The 4G is as good as I expected/hoped and it's great. The build quality of this lightweight case though, really surpassed what I thought a semi-hard case could bring. In particular, I was skeptical of the utility of the interior uncovered gear wells, but the lid is actually solid enough that it very effectively lids those cavities and I would not be worried about toting a pedal or other potentially instrument damaging piece of gear. I'm probably going to buy at least 3 more of these.

BUY THIS CASE NOW!

I was hessitant in making this purchase. I was used to having a light weight gig bag, w/ little padding. I didn't want to spend the money on this case, but now I am glad I did. It is super sturdy, yet it is really light weight. It provides great protection for my bass, with making it too much to carry. Totally worth it if you have to transport your intrument often.

Good Case

I needed a case for one of the new Squier Rascal Bass. It is a big bass. I have several other bass cases and it wouldn't fit. This case fits it perfectly. The zippers are heavy duty. Gator makes good stuff.

You just can't go wrong with this case - my second exact one!

I bought my first Gator bass case well over 10 years ago for my Schecter Omen. Decided to get another one for my new Squire 40th anniversary jazz. I have a nice gig bag, which I used for my former Ibanez SR250, which is a very light bass. The Squire has a bit more heft to it, so yeah, didn't feel comfortable putting that in a regular gig bag. This case will definitely protect your axe. It's lightweight, but extremely durable. The interior is plush, and the Squire fits like a glove. You have a couple of pockets for strings, etc. The best part, is that it won't scuff up your walls or cause dents/damage to furniture, unlike your classic hardshell/tolex type of case. Yeah, I used to use the tolex cases, black scuff marks on the walls! Investing in a case like this offers peace of mind - it isn't what you'd call a cheap case, quite a bit more than my 10 year old one, as you would expect, but lets face it, you've invested in your bass, why not invest in a good case to protect it? Get one of these, you won't regret it!
