Excellent Bass case; padded felt inner, solid construction, looks great. Cant beat it for value.

Very nice case, lightweight. Well-padded.

I love it. It combines the best of both worlds. It is not as heavy as a hard shell case, but it provides a little more protection than a gig bag.

I absolutely love this case. It's so much lighter than a hardshell yet extremely protective and sturdy. One reviewer said their cover wouldn't stay up when horizontal and open but I have no such problem. See my photos: It fits Fender, Rickenbacker, Yamaha, Spector, Music Man and Sire models. It fits a Gibson SG bass but NOT a Gibson Ripper or Grabber. I wouldn't advise this case for air travel but for local gigs and rehearsals, absolutely.

The case is perfect for my needs. Light weight, yet much better protection than a gig bag. Great for local travel.

Just as it's billed, this is a no frills, lightweight, DURABLE bass case. The lightweight dense foam appears to be a solid protector for your instrument. It's not a case I would use to throw my instrument into the cargo hold of a plane but it doesn't pretend to be. For the price I am VERY satisfied with this case for my new bass and I'm glad it was the first suggestion. A+.

Very pleased with everything! I've ordered a few times from Sweetwater and have always been very happy.

Within a week of purchasing this case (the second time I carried it anywhere), one of the compartment dividers broke. Other parts like the mesh pocket and zippers feel flimsy and seem likely to follow close behind. This case is NOT worth over 100 dollars. It's also not that lightweight.

I got this for a Sire P5 5 string bass simply because it was an affordable option for an affordable bass. While the case itself is ok, one super frustrating thing is the dern thing won't stay open. The little strap on the side that's supposed to keep it from flopping all the way back is too short and doesn't let it open all the way. I'm not sure if they're all like this or if mine was a factory fluke. All in all, it serves its purpose and transports my bass to and fro safely.

I have owned the standard turing, hard-shell bass cases and while they have their plus' and minus' for general use I do prefer a lighter weight case. I'm over 70 now and I really appreciate anything that makes carrying my gear to the gig much easier. This case also holds my Skyline P/J bass securely with plenty of storage for IEM and misc items inside and a large zippered pocket outside too. The two piece, velcroed handle is really the only negative, but not a deal breaker. I'd buy another one.

I like this case. It is light weight and durable. The salesman I talked to was right on point with helping me find what I needed.

I love this case. It's a cross between a gig bag and a shell case. The inside is like a shell case while the outside has the material like a gig bag but stronger and reinforced.

I'm returning it. It ok but it I wouldn't trust it in checked baggage. Quality of construction seems alright. Doesn't say where it's made so I assume China.

It definitely serves the purpose, at a reasonable price.

The Gator case is perfect for Its intended purpose. Surprisingly sturdy, light, with an easy carrying handle.
I use it as my go to case when transporting my basses locally. The padding inside supports the body and neck of my guitar. Large pockets allow me to carry music books and cables. It's affordable. I made an excellent choice.

I bought this case to replace a heavy hardshell one and its awesome.

Hey folks, just thought I'd drop a quick review on this case I picked up recently. I grabbed it to replace my old gig bag, and let me tell ya, it's definitely an upgrade.

First off, it's bigger than the gig bag, no surprise there. But what's cool is that despite the extra size, my Fender P Bass feels snug and secure in there. It's like having the protection of a hard case but without the weight hassle.

Quality-wise, I'm pretty satisfied. The material feels sturdy, and the pockets are handy for stashing extra gear. Plus, it's comfortable to carry around, which is a big plus for me.

Now, here's my one gripe: it doesn't stand up on its edge very well. So, if you're like me and you like to sit your bass down with the handle up, you might have to get creative so it won't fall over.

But overall, I'd say it's a solid upgrade from a gig bag. If you're in the market for something to keep your instrument safe and sound, this case is worth checking out.

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.

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.

Maybe this case would be better without feet. I guess feet could maybe be useful if you're setting the case down on a wet surface. But appears the feet can too easily rip the nylon to which they are attached. Maybe need larger washers to distribute the load across more nylon surface area, or maybe no feet necessary. This case has not yet been moved from the same room where it was unboxed just yesterday, so this isn't long-term wear from the road.

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.

LOVE IT! Definitely recommend, bass fits perfect. It's a very very sturdy case!

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!

I have bought 3 of these cases for 3 different basses, and they fit them all. The cases are light but durable, highly recommend this case

My incredible sales engineer Craig Mills confirmed that this would fit the Squier Affinity Jaguar Bass that my wife gave me. It fits perfectly with a little room at the bottom. The case itself is incredibly sturdy but light and will no doubt protect the bass well. The lid closes tightly, keeping the instrument in place. I really appreciate the solid channel to hold the neck firmly. I can now go to recording sessions with my bass and feel comfortable transporting it.

I bought this for my Yamaha BB 5-string. Perfect fit! Lightweight and rigid! Plenty of storage for gear. Highly recommend!

I was looking for a case for my Jackson Spectra pro and this thing fits perfectly, the scratch and dent deal made it too hard to resist. Absolutely love the case perfect for gigging and storage. Completely Satisfied.

Cool case that does everything I need it to. I'm not doing fly dates or touring the world, just light travel or storing my bass at home when it's not being played.

Greg is always helpful with the presales info. Love doing business with Sweetwater.

Just bought a Sire P5 and a V3 bass and two new Gator Soft case bags that fit like a glove.

Excellent!!

Very nice case, light and strong. Not a great fit for a Aerodyne bass. A bit long, extra space above head and at bottom of body. I have a pad at the base of it. A little tight between the headstock and heel, Aerodyne's mid size scale no doubt.) I have another of this model case and it does fit the guitar better. Great case but check the fit for your instrument.

I used this for my Fender Aerodyne Jazz bass. Fit's perfectly. Reason I got this is because of the light weight and yet offers better protection than a bag. It's a bit pricey. I hope this last a long time as old Gator zipper tends to break.

This case really does give you the best of both worlds between a hard case and a gig bag. Fits my g&l jb great. If you aren't flying, this should protect your instrument well.

Fits my Yamaha TRBX perfectly. Plenty of room for cables and accoutrements and very lightweight. Seems like one of the best options out there for the price.

This is my third Gator bass case. I trust these well-made cases to cradle and protect my vintage '66 Fender Jazz, and several other eclectic hollow and sold-body instruments. The fit is perfect, and the padding is better than the factory cases in all respects. And way less than half the cost, too. Just can't beat 'em!

Really like this case. It's well balanced, plenty of storage space and padding. It probably sounds like not picking, but a little padding in the carry handle would have made this 5 stars. I have a Mono gig bag that has that, but then there is the price difference.
You won't regret getting a Gator. I have one for my Tele a really like it, too.

The case is great. Fits my bass well, had plenty of extra storage space and isn't too heavy c compared to a hard case.

I recently bought an older Squire P-Bass to mod. The whole idea was to spend as little money as possible and do it with spare parts etc. that I already had. It all turned out beautiful. So much so that I didn't like the idea of putting that bass back in the sad little gig bag in came to me in. I didn't want to spend as much for the case as I did the bass. I was looking at new gig bags until I came across this case and read the reviews. In reality this soft case is just twenty less than a Gator hardshell but this case intrigued me. It just showed up today and I am really pleased with this case. It's thinner than a molded case and fits nicely in my closet with my other basses and it doesn't take up near as much room. It's a sturdy case with plenty of protection for gigging and lighter and less awkward than a molded case. It has plenty of storage for me and it looks great. Really happy with this purchase!

The case is well designed to protect my Fender Jazz Bass. Firm corners and solid top and bottom provides the confidence greater than a gig bag. There is one thing that makes it feel like a budget item.That is the zipper. All my other cases have clasps that allow me to quickly open and close. Where the zipper requires to you move all around the case as you unzip. Like with any zipper, if in any hurry, it will get snagged and cause further delays.

Other than that, it is a solid case. Very lightweight. The strap is a nice feature. Although given its size, it can be a little clumsy walking loosely attached to your shoulder. I recommend using the handles for stability in a case this size.

My Fender jaguar bass fits very well in this modern case. It has lots if extra space so you can take your junk with you.
It is lighter than a traditional harshell bass case. I will probably get another one of these.
I just hope that the case last. We will see.

Lightweight, lots of storage areas, and holds my bass securely. Good carrying options. Time will tell whether the fabric surface can be kept looking good, but it looks much better than my cracked, scratched, and beaten hard-shell cases.

I have to admit, that I was skeptical at first about a soft-sided guitar case, however, much to my delight, this case is a sturdy, well built, good looking case that cradles and supports my guitar as well or better than any hard shell case I have used in the past.

I really like this case. I needed an extra case or two. For playing around town and throwing in the back of a car or truck, this thing is perfect. It is light and well padded. I am impressed. I have been impressed with the quality of the Gator cases overall. This is so much better than a gig bag and lighter than a hard case. Love it!

Lots of equipment and little storage space. Bass hardball cases are too big. Hate gig bags. This case is strong and compact. Perfect for my need.

A bass player i was playing with had loaded his bass in the backbof a pick up we were in. He didnt place it in a good spot, and it flew out of the truck at 75 mph.
When he picked it up, there was some road rash, but no tears. We got to the gig, and the bass was still in tune! It was unbelievable! Great cases!

Used these to transport new instruments to Summer NAMM riding in a little bouncy trailer.....they kept the basses perfect and the cases look great. Love the new mostly black look

I have several bases and several cases. The case I have used most often over the years was a canvas lightweight case (made by a different manufacturer). That case is showing some wear and some of the rivets have come out so I started looking around for a replacement and found this Gator case. It has everything I was looking for, large side pockets, snug support for the neck and head-stock, internal storage and it is very lightweight. I will buy another one of these the next time I see them go on sale. I highly recommend.

If you are looking for a lightweight case but with plenty of protection, this is the one.
Pros: lightweight, sturdy, ample room for extra's (music, tuner, etc) great feel and bass fits very securely.
Cons: the carrying strap could be better designed. when it is attached for use, it gets in the way of taking out and putting in your instrument because one end attaches to the upper end of case and the other attaches to the bottom end, opposite side of case, so when case is open the strap is in the way.
Other than that, for the price, this is a great case and able to take some knocks without hurting your valuable bass. It is like a hard shell case without the weight.

I needed to buy a case for my new P Bass, saw this and decided to give it a try. Well months later I'm happy to say I made a wise choice for my situation. I play out every week & my basses are constantly on the move. This case protects my bass just as well as my hard shell cases, my bass fits nice & snug, it is nice looking & lightweight & the price is right. If you are the one who carries & transports your own guitars to and from gigs ( like most of us ) This is a great case.

I was looking for a case for a bass guitar at some musical instrument stores and I thought they were overpriced and not very good quality. Having done business with Sweetwater in the past I thought I'd go online and look for one. Ordered the Gator lightweight case and was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. It would fit just about any bass with room for accessories. Offers pretty good protection too. Haven't had it very long yet so I can't comment on durability. Always a pleasure doing business with Sweetwater.

This bag is very well made and very well thought out. I'm surprised it doesn't sell for more than what it does. I keep coming back to Gator products because when I buy them I don't find myself needing to replace them. They are built to last and best of all, they are affordable and always seem to be really well thought out.

I highly recommend this bag!

Gator makes some really nice cases and this is no exception. It's light, it has good neck support and is well designed. The price was the best part. It was very inexpensive for such a nice case.

This case from Gator feels solid and light. I am using it with a Lakland Skyline 44-51, which fits very well with plenty of room for accessories.

This is a very nice, lightweight bass case. I bought it for my Fender Jaguar Bass (it's a 4 string, MIJ, approx. 2006-2008 IIRC - it's the full scale-length Jag, not a short scale). It fits perfectly in there, this really solved the problem of finding a case for the Jag. I like the two roomy spaces for items such as strap, wireless guitar pack, wireless IEM pack, batteries, etc. Just a great case, at a great price. I tried a few other basses in it, as well. Fender Jazz Bass 4-string also fits just about perfectly. Music Man Stingray 4 string fits fine, but is a little bit loose around the body. Sadowsky MV4 4-string also fits and is also a little loose. The Jaguar and Jazz are perfect fits, so if you are looking for a lightweight but protective case for them, this is a good choice.

I got this to move up from a traditional, soft-contoured gig bag for a Fender P-Bass that wasn't really cutting it during long trips to gigs. I'm very happy with the result: a much more protective case with good storage and yet very little weight penalty. I just wish it was a little more inclined to stand upright on its feet.

My original case, that I thought would last forever, didn't. So I went with this lightweight - it's more protective than a gig bag (but not much heavier), and fits my G & L 5500 5 string perfectly. I love all the accessories space, both inside and in the external pouch. The removable strap is an interesting touch; it lets you sling the case over one shoulder, but you have to remove one side to open the case, so its practicality is limited. The wrap around zipper looks sturdy. I hope it remains so.

I liked the one I already have so I bought another one. Great case.

Everything I have purchased made by Gator has been great. This is a nice case with good protection for the guitar and at a very reasonable price. Gator's products hold up well and I have no complaints.

I love this case - bought it for my Fender Jazz Bass - perfect fit! Plenty of room on the inside for cord, tuner, strap, polishing cloth (plus whatever else you're carrying) - two outside pockets are also roomy.. Very good quality case - well built - you won't be disappointed.

I got one of these for my Ibanez GSR205SM, and I think it's better than a hard case; it's lighter, the neck padding really secures my bass, and the shoulder strap frees a hand for more gear. Also, the exterior pouches keep hard, sharp-cornered items away from my bass. Unless you fly alot, and/or have gorillas handling your gear, I can't imagine a more secure way of transporting my bass, especially considering the price, & Sweetwater's customer service, which is truly peerless.

Nice light weight case with heavy duty zipper ,plenty of cargo places. My jazz bass fits very well. great to have shoulder strap frees up your hands a little more so you can carry more stuff. seem to be a bit more heavy duty than I expected. I do lkie this case alot .I am going too buy another one soon. and my sales tech Marcos is awesome, he is a great help.

Purchased this case for my Fender Jazz bass, great fit! Not as heavy as a standard hard case, but protects the bass very well. Foam interior with plush lining provides outstanding fit and protection. Lots of storage inside as well as a zippered pocket on the outside. You will not be disappointed in this case!

Light ,sturdy,a lot of storage compartments, fits all my basses very well. zippers seem to be very sturdy. I would recommend this case.

Nice sturdy case, lots of room inside for accessories. Light and fits my bass nicely.

I needed something to protect my Ibanez SR 600. This has worked out very well for me. It also gave me an excuse to give some business to Sweetwater. The best friend a musician has.

Fantastic! I can't say enough about this case. Purchased to accommodate a 32" scale bass guitar, I was happy to notice that this case offers just the right fit for such a non-standard instrument. In addition, this case offers tons of real estate for cords, straps, and other accessories--even folio-sized books.

The Gator case also features really sound construction. The padded interior is soft but firm, and the stitching, seams, and zippers are all of the highest quality. For me, Gator cases represent the ideal hybrid between the light weight offered by a gig-bag with the sturdy dimensions and protection exemplified by hard instrument cases.

Thanks to Tom Maxwell, Sweetwater Sound Engineer, for helping to select the perfect case for a guy on a budget.

Perfect bag for practices or gigs. Tons of internal and external compartments and storage for strap, cables, music, etc. Quite a bit lighter fully loaded versus hard shell. Would definitely recommend.

I bought an MTD Kingston 6 string bass and couldn't find a case for it. This case fits it like a glove. Plenty of compartments, very lite, and pretty ridged. Price is great also!

I just received the Gator GL-Bass case. This case is replacing a "Road Runner" gig bag that should have lasted much longer than it did as I am NOT hard on my stuff.

Construction of this Gator case seems to be very well made. I'm surprised at how solid the case is for as light as it is. The case fits my Yamaha TRB1005 five string PERFECTLY. I could not ask for a better fit. Zippers all work smoothly.

The interior storage on each side of the neck is nice. It is holding my Peterson tuner, Shure IEM body pack, a couple extra batteries and a few other small items with room to spare. My "Comfort Strap" easily fits in the area by the headstock.

My only wish (not a fault of the case) is that the front pocket be a little deeper. Our church band uses three-ring binders to hold our sheet music. A binder fits in the pocket fine, but the 1-1/2" binder is too thick to let the pocket zip shut. I can still use the pocket to carry the binder as I'll not be turning the case upside down to where the binder can slide out. It would just be nice if it was deep enough to zip closed.

I only have one complaint that seems like an error in construction. With the case laying on a flat, level surface, the lid will not stand open vertically. The strap that keeps the lid from opening too far is too short to let it open enough past vertical to stay open. I may just cut the strap and sew in an extension piece of strap webbing to fix that.

They may hold up fine, but the shoulder strap hooks are plastic. I'll probably not use the shoulder strap myself, but that may be an issue for others that will be trusting those plastic hooks.

It's too early for me to know how well it will hold up with my weekly trips to church, but it seems very well made. I will be surprised if this case does not last me several years. I'm so initially impressed that I wanted to go ahead and post a positive review.

Perfect case for the money: rigid but light, secure zip + handles, inside and outside storage compartments, optional shoulder strap.

Tried a molded Fender case when I bought this one: couldn't get the latches unlatched, then when I did, I had to pry the case apart. It was $20 more and had no advantages, unless you count the large F on the outside.

The Gator case is a perfect lightweight case and a great buy.
