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!
